5. Verify Your Google My Business (GMB)

While Google My Business listing is significant to any local site, it can help boost national sites as well. The most important thing is to operate a verified Google My Business listing in your specialty and comply with Google’s guidelines.

To verify your listing, request a postcard from Google to be sent to your office or home address. Once the card is delivered to you, enter the code encrypted in it and get your GMB listing verified. In case you don’t want people visiting your business address, you can hide it using Google Maps.
