You're a business owner, you're busy, but the importance of an accurate #GoogleMapsListing cannot be underestimated. http://gplus.link/m6fq6

‼ If you're a Business Owner, Please READ! ‼

In the last few months we've found Google My Business listings that were switched back to Private instead of Public, listings that had been disabled for no reason, listings that aren't showing well because updates haven't been reviewed, listings that lost all description and tagline after they had been entered, and a number of other things!

If you want your Business to show in Google Maps, your Local Listing has to be setup correctly and monitored or you could end up losing customers because it's either not showing, or not showing correctly. If you're not sure what I'm talking about and you're a Business owner, reach out and we'll make sure it's setup correctly. I would highly advise you checking it monthly at the very least to make sure it's staying accurate and showing!
