1
00:00:00,570 --> 00:00:01,200
Welcome back.

2
00:00:01,230 --> 00:00:06,390
We were in the course now when my information is ready, business is ready, address is ready, it is

3
00:00:06,390 --> 00:00:07,860
time to add this to Google.

4
00:00:07,870 --> 00:00:09,180
So what we can do.

5
00:00:09,180 --> 00:00:15,660
The simple thing is that you open your map, go to the go to the location where you want to aid that

6
00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:18,150
location to Google map or that business.

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,510
In my case, I know where my business is located.

8
00:00:22,740 --> 00:00:26,340
So actually, this is the area.

9
00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:27,510
I know it.

10
00:00:27,510 --> 00:00:30,330
And I had to you can click this.

11
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:32,160
You are location icon.

12
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:35,370
So Google will show you the icon, the blue dot you can see here.

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:42,120
And then I'm going to simply zoom in to find the exact location.

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,920
Where is the business basically?

15
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:51,420
And I can see this is the location where I want to aid the business, because this is the exact building,

16
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:54,630
the exact office location here.

17
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:58,380
So what I will do here at the exact place, I will right.

18
00:00:58,380 --> 00:01:00,090
Click you have to right.

19
00:01:00,090 --> 00:01:03,810
Click from your laptop and then there are different options.

20
00:01:03,810 --> 00:01:12,310
OK, what you can do is find a missing place or ID your business are missing places like someplace.

21
00:01:12,330 --> 00:01:13,410
You know, that is not a business.

22
00:01:13,410 --> 00:01:17,460
But there is some place when you can ID that like people can go to that place.

23
00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:20,000
Maybe that is a picnic point or something else.

24
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:22,470
But here we need to click.

25
00:01:22,470 --> 00:01:23,910
This is your business.

26
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:26,010
So this is one way to aid your business.

27
00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:27,240
I will click that.

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,810
And this pop up will open now.

29
00:01:30,830 --> 00:01:34,330
First thing is the business name we have to it is business name here.

30
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:37,460
So I will just copy this business name from here.

31
00:01:38,650 --> 00:01:40,990
And edit pasted here.

32
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:45,910
OK, so this is this is the name, right?

33
00:01:47,860 --> 00:01:49,280
And I would click next.

34
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:56,650
OK, so in the next step, we will is asking me what is the category of this business which is very

35
00:01:56,650 --> 00:01:57,580
important here, OK?

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,810
So you need to choose the exact category.

37
00:02:01,060 --> 00:02:04,330
I will say a real estate agency.

38
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:08,460
OK, this is a real estate agency right now.

39
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:14,930
Next, do you want to add a location customers can visit like a store or office?

40
00:02:15,450 --> 00:02:16,100
Yes.

41
00:02:16,670 --> 00:02:20,790
So it will show up in Google right now, next.

42
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:26,090
Now they're saying, like, OK, the location is Pakistan.

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,560
We need the street address, the city and postal code, which I have already.

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,000
So I will discuss.

45
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,150
Copy this address.

46
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,760
And I will add it here in the street address.

47
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:51,630
And I will simply add Karachi and postal code is already there so I can add one more line and display

48
00:02:51,650 --> 00:02:56,410
this address into two lines that will be better.

49
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,660
OK, so this is the address I have at the city, the country is already picked.

50
00:03:05,050 --> 00:03:07,210
And now I will click next.

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,590
And in the next step, Google is asking me, do you also serve customers out of this location?

52
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,420
I will say no, because this is a one in one location business.

53
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,360
Sometimes you have like different branches in different locations for the same business.

54
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,880
Then you can say yes, then you can add some other information to or other locations.

55
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,850
I will talk about that later on.

56
00:03:31,860 --> 00:03:34,310
OK, for now, just focus on one location.

57
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:35,550
So, no, I don't.

58
00:03:36,020 --> 00:03:36,600
Next.

59
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,220
Noticing that if you have a number, yes, we do have that number here.

60
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:48,940
And I believe that contact number.

61
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,160
So it is here now next.

62
00:03:54,390 --> 00:04:00,930
OK, it is saying our website, it website, which is optional, as I already told you, you don't need

63
00:04:00,930 --> 00:04:05,100
a website to aid your business to Google, but if you have, that is good.

64
00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:07,120
So right now, we don't have.

65
00:04:07,140 --> 00:04:09,600
So I will just say I don't have a website.

66
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:09,900
Right.

67
00:04:12,170 --> 00:04:17,030
So everything is done now, it is finished, so let's get finish.

68
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:26,690
OK, now Google is saying.

69
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:33,640
Like choose a way to verify in order to fully manage and represent this business on Google, you will

70
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,990
need to confirm that it's yours.

71
00:04:36,580 --> 00:04:40,520
So Google wants you to verify this location.

72
00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:42,300
If this is your business or not.

73
00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:45,610
So you can see the address is there.

74
00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:47,170
The address should be correct.

75
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:49,660
And now you need a name.

76
00:04:50,020 --> 00:04:52,210
OK, so here you need.

77
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,040
A name.

78
00:04:56,890 --> 00:05:03,760
For the person to receive that court, Google will send a court basically to verify this location and

79
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,990
that court will be sent to this address and to this person.

80
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,440
By OK, so I was like, man.

81
00:05:15,970 --> 00:05:22,360
And now it is saying a postcard is coming, you will get a postcard with your verification code and

82
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,690
next steps in about 14 days.

83
00:05:25,330 --> 00:05:34,960
So to this guy, to this agency and to this address, I click continue so automatically Google Google

84
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,850
has taken me to Google my business page, OK?

85
00:05:39,460 --> 00:05:46,840
And by default, if you want to aid your business directly to Google my business, then you simply write

86
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:47,920
Google my business.

87
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:57,670
Click this option and it will take you to Google my business page, which is, you know, showing you

88
00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:58,720
all the information.

89
00:05:59,140 --> 00:06:01,250
Engage with customers on Google for free.

90
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,970
Yes, this service is free, by the way, and they know everything, all the information you need.

91
00:06:06,970 --> 00:06:09,460
And we just need to click here to manage.

92
00:06:09,460 --> 00:06:16,470
Now, we can add our business from this page as well, but also when we are adding this year.

93
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,630
So it is saying the same thing.

94
00:06:18,820 --> 00:06:24,880
Now, I can click here Menaged now and Google my business page as well, so it will give me the same

95
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,260
result.

96
00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:31,720
You can see Rezwan rheostat, Apsara apartment, the same address, the same same thing you can see.

97
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:39,550
Now, this is a whole dashboard and a whole account for managing your local business, whether you have

98
00:06:39,550 --> 00:06:45,160
one business to business or maybe 10 businesses, all you can manage within this dashboard.

99
00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:52,110
I mean, this dashboard, if you see the most important thing is this complete your listing.

100
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,690
This is not 50 percent complete.

101
00:06:53,950 --> 00:06:55,990
So we had to complete it 100 percent.

102
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,470
How we can do that will simply it hours.

103
00:06:59,950 --> 00:07:04,840
You can see this is written hours, a description, a logo of the company.

104
00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:07,320
These things we can do.

105
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,040
So it will be a hundred percent complete.

106
00:07:09,310 --> 00:07:10,550
Just eight hours.

107
00:07:10,990 --> 00:07:11,710
Eight hours.

108
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:15,260
And here.

109
00:07:16,180 --> 00:07:19,420
Our businesses open on different days.

110
00:07:20,860 --> 00:07:29,320
Except Friday on Friday disclosed and many businesses are closed on Sundays and Saturdays, so you can

111
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,320
keep their closed in the other open.

112
00:07:31,330 --> 00:07:33,630
Now here what time it opens.

113
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:41,080
In my case, our business will open at 11 a.m. and closes at 8:00 p.m. So this is all timing.

114
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,170
Your timing might be different for different days.

115
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,540
So I'm eating one by one.

116
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:58,110
So, guys, I have added all the timings for all the days, but remember, if your business is 24 hours,

117
00:07:58,110 --> 00:07:59,950
you can also make it 24 hours.

118
00:07:59,950 --> 00:08:03,240
So after that, you will not need to hit the closing time.

119
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,290
OK, after you edit all the days and the timing, just click apply.

120
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:22,380
Operating the hours now you can see it is sixty five percent complete, so let's add the description

121
00:08:22,380 --> 00:08:24,770
in the logo to make it 100 percent complete.

122
00:08:24,780 --> 00:08:27,930
And after that, we can do the other things in this account.

123
00:08:28,380 --> 00:08:29,940
So let's add the description.

124
00:08:29,940 --> 00:08:36,720
The description is a very few words about your business and the operations of your business and what

125
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,950
services you are providing.

126
00:08:40,770 --> 00:08:43,740
OK, guys, I have edited the description.

127
00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:45,980
And now.

128
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:49,880
Let me see.

129
00:08:55,630 --> 00:08:57,560
OK, it is 80 percent complete.

130
00:08:57,580 --> 00:08:58,990
Now let me add a logo.

131
00:09:04,910 --> 00:09:05,270
Well.

132
00:09:11,950 --> 00:09:13,790
OK, guys, I'm eating a logo.

133
00:09:13,810 --> 00:09:15,520
This is not the actual logo.

134
00:09:15,580 --> 00:09:19,760
This is just a placeholder for the purpose of this video.

135
00:09:19,780 --> 00:09:20,800
I made this one.

136
00:09:24,780 --> 00:09:30,570
Now, here, I must tell you that you can read a cover photo, which you should aim to show your actual

137
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:36,660
business, your undercover and a video, a shot with you can eat in some other photos of the interior

138
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:37,530
of your business.

139
00:09:37,860 --> 00:09:41,690
So I relate that to photos, but you should add more.

140
00:09:42,330 --> 00:09:47,340
So this is very good for for Google listings, you know, and for local SEO.

141
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,660
This will make it much better.

142
00:09:51,680 --> 00:10:01,770
OK, now I will click Google my business again and see how much person it is completed.

143
00:10:01,780 --> 00:10:02,930
I think it is completed now.

144
00:10:02,950 --> 00:10:03,750
One hundred percent.

145
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,020
OK, so this is your place for managing everything.

146
00:10:08,020 --> 00:10:11,290
You can get your custom email from Google for your business.

147
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,660
That is, I think, a paid service.

148
00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:15,670
And the rest of the thing.

149
00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:18,160
You can get a manager to manage this business.

150
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,230
You can just aid a person.

151
00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:25,450
Like if you are managing this business for someone or if you want someone to manage your business,

152
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:32,710
then send an invitation to them by adding their email, simply their email, and they will receive an

153
00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:37,040
invitation and then they will be able to manage your account.

154
00:10:37,060 --> 00:10:46,750
OK, you need to set a role for them and you can also get an Internet application to manage this business.

155
00:10:47,410 --> 00:10:50,230
They have some information about covid-19 as well.

156
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:59,260
And our listing is pending verification because they have sent the mail and it will arrive in a few

157
00:10:59,260 --> 00:10:59,530
days.

158
00:10:59,530 --> 00:11:04,360
And then after that, this listing, this business will show up in Google, a local resource who came

159
00:11:05,140 --> 00:11:05,850
in here.

160
00:11:06,430 --> 00:11:15,100
The important thing is let customers message you like what I told you before, that you should receive

161
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:19,120
messages and reviews from customers and you should engage with them.

162
00:11:19,370 --> 00:11:24,700
So this is a very good sign for ranking your business in Google turnaround messaging.

163
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:31,150
I will just on and on, but right now it is not verified, so I cannot do it because my business is

164
00:11:31,150 --> 00:11:31,840
not verified.

165
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,390
But once your business is verified, then we can turn on the message option.

166
00:11:37,450 --> 00:11:44,590
OK, and you know, surprisingly, Google is also giving you forty five US dollars free advertising

167
00:11:44,590 --> 00:11:49,540
credit to advertise this business, this new business, which is a great thing.

168
00:11:49,870 --> 00:11:52,930
Now, let's look at the flip side of this.

169
00:11:53,890 --> 00:11:55,690
You know, the sidebar, this menu.

170
00:11:56,260 --> 00:12:01,690
See, the first is our business named in our address, then the home and then the post.

171
00:12:02,290 --> 00:12:08,950
When I click the post, we can post actually in real time to our business like we need some products

172
00:12:09,970 --> 00:12:10,930
to that business.

173
00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:16,420
If you have a product, like maybe we have a restaurant in our coffee is very, very famous so we can

174
00:12:16,420 --> 00:12:20,080
eat that coffee here, or maybe we are selling something different.

175
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,290
We can eat our main product here or many products.

176
00:12:23,290 --> 00:12:23,620
Okay.

177
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:31,000
And other than products we can add and offer, like sometimes we might run a special offer for the customers.

178
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,440
So we can add that here.

179
00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:39,250
And Google will surprisingly show that on the page to the customers when someone searches for that location

180
00:12:39,250 --> 00:12:40,060
or the business.

181
00:12:40,390 --> 00:12:46,810
And if you have an update, like sometimes our service may be like interrupted or maybe like not available

182
00:12:47,170 --> 00:12:49,720
or maybe like a holiday or something like that.

183
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:58,980
So we can do that by clicking this update and can edit our post button and also a portal about that,

184
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:00,940
about that, about adapted.

185
00:13:00,940 --> 00:13:08,020
And also we can add an event and then a product so we can again and again add more and more Polish and

186
00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:10,120
more and more products.

187
00:13:10,420 --> 00:13:12,910
That's a great thing and a great feature by Google.

188
00:13:13,180 --> 00:13:17,070
Now, the next thing is the info in the info tab.

189
00:13:18,070 --> 00:13:24,610
We have like all the information that we already have added, the name of the the the business, the

190
00:13:24,610 --> 00:13:27,430
the category, the address service area.

191
00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:33,910
Like we can add some more options service areas like for example, which, which is the service area

192
00:13:33,910 --> 00:13:36,880
for this one we have the service area is Karachi.

193
00:13:37,570 --> 00:13:43,300
Like sometimes you have multiple locations like multiple cities or multiple countries, so you can ID

194
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:44,140
that too.

195
00:13:44,590 --> 00:13:46,150
But we had just one place.

196
00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:51,670
Okay, so once the listing is verified, then it will show up at special hours.

197
00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:57,010
Maybe we have like special hours on Saturday or Sunday so we can add that here.

198
00:13:57,010 --> 00:14:00,010
But right now we don't have that for this business.

199
00:14:00,610 --> 00:14:06,440
A website, when we add a website here, then it will show up in Google results.

200
00:14:06,490 --> 00:14:08,200
Like, for example, if I.

201
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,140
Search for Busia makes.

202
00:14:13,890 --> 00:14:16,170
Which is bizarre shop.

203
00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:27,540
You can see the website when there is the result for local, so you can see the website in the direction,

204
00:14:27,820 --> 00:14:33,400
so when you click the website, it will take you directly to the website of that business.

205
00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:37,140
This is when you add your website here.

206
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:45,690
And displays that will show up in Google and I will be later on telling you how you can optimize your

207
00:14:46,110 --> 00:14:53,290
website for local SEO so you can add your website here and the products will be listed here.

208
00:14:53,310 --> 00:14:54,810
We have not added any product.

209
00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:03,000
Services will be here and attributes some attributes like, you know, when I show you that this example

210
00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:05,850
for Black Blasberg.

211
00:15:07,830 --> 00:15:14,430
When I showed you that the shops in Blacksburg and you saw nine in and take away and stuff like that,

212
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,720
you will see that in the attributes, health and safety in other.

213
00:15:19,020 --> 00:15:26,220
You know, you should I think you should it this all things here, it's important opening up your business.

214
00:15:26,730 --> 00:15:32,000
And once you get all this information, I will add this, too, to this business as well.

215
00:15:32,190 --> 00:15:41,330
And you should add this, too, because it will make it much better and it is useful for research.

216
00:15:42,330 --> 00:15:44,000
And then you can see the inside.

217
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:50,940
This is the option for seeing how many customers are visiting your business, who is clicking where,

218
00:15:51,330 --> 00:15:54,150
how they're engaging with your business and stuff like that.

219
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,260
This is a kind of Google analytics of local associates.

220
00:15:57,750 --> 00:16:00,060
Then we have the reviews option in the reviews option.

221
00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:05,400
You will see all the reviews customers are leaving here and you get directly reply to them and like

222
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:05,700
them.

223
00:16:05,940 --> 00:16:08,400
And I would recommend you should do that.

224
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:14,520
Engage with your customers through reviews, not the messaging options will show you when customers

225
00:16:14,970 --> 00:16:16,080
are sending you a message.

226
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:21,540
You will see that here in and really, guys, customers can send you messages through Google.

227
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:31,110
Then you can ID like Porto's, which I already have added some, but you can add more products and services.

228
00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:32,010
The website.

229
00:16:32,010 --> 00:16:40,260
I will click the website here Google say if you don't have a website we can create one for you, but

230
00:16:40,380 --> 00:16:45,870
you can just create this website for free or you can create a new one.

231
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:53,170
It's some other place, you know, this Google has created the simple website with the code called Now

232
00:16:53,170 --> 00:17:01,450
Get Direxion in the name of the business and stuff like that, you know, so you can take some photos

233
00:17:02,290 --> 00:17:02,800
here.

234
00:17:04,770 --> 00:17:07,920
And I mean, this is a good thing.

235
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:12,440
Let's publish this website.

236
00:17:12,460 --> 00:17:18,580
OK, so this you can edit this website with different themes and different.

237
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,350
Information, but right now you can see this is a simple website.

238
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:25,540
And Google will show it.

239
00:17:25,990 --> 00:17:31,120
So Google has, by default, optimized it without any special effort from us.

240
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:38,530
You can see Google has displayed the map, the map and also the contact information to address the opening

241
00:17:38,530 --> 00:17:38,950
hours.

242
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:45,550
In this information, we should distribute it all the places on the Internet.

243
00:17:45,580 --> 00:17:47,270
Okay, so then it will be good.

244
00:17:47,740 --> 00:17:48,430
So this is good.

245
00:17:48,430 --> 00:17:49,980
You can create this free website.

246
00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:51,220
There is no problem.

247
00:17:51,670 --> 00:18:00,400
But if you can create a website separately on what race or any other platform, that is more better

248
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:06,730
than this one, because this is a free website, there is no you can see there is there is no domain.

249
00:18:06,730 --> 00:18:09,210
There is no specific domain for your business.

250
00:18:09,550 --> 00:18:10,690
This is a free website site.

251
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,570
That's it, guys.

252
00:18:12,580 --> 00:18:18,400
These are all the options here are in the local business dashboard on Google.

253
00:18:19,180 --> 00:18:21,610
And the website is also created once now.

254
00:18:21,630 --> 00:18:22,990
We received this quote.

255
00:18:23,710 --> 00:18:25,300
This result will.

256
00:18:26,790 --> 00:18:34,590
Be displayed on Google, and I will now show you and tell you about how to edit your citations or your

257
00:18:34,590 --> 00:18:41,700
local business to different directories other than Google and also will talk about how to optimize the

258
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:42,510
website.
