When customers in Lagos or Abuja look for a doctor, interior designer, caterer, or property agent, 70% of them tap the top 3 businesses shown on Google Maps. Here is how to make sure your business is one of them.
Match Your Website and Google Profile Exactly
Google checks your website to verify that your business is real. Your business name, street address, and phone number on your website header and footer must match your Google Business Profile exactly.
When Google sees consistent details across your website and profile, it rewards you with higher rankings in local search.
Highlight the Areas You Serve
If you serve clients in Lekki, Ikoyi, Ikeja, or Maitama, mention those locations on your website. Google uses these location mentions to show your business to nearby people searching on their phones.
