HOW BERT INCREASED GOOGLE MY BUSINESS VISIBILITY FROM 181K VIEWS IN Q4 TO 439K VIEWS IN Q1

In Q4 of 2020, BERT began actively managing Smoke Justis’s Google My Business account. We first began with category correction, which meant deleting categories that were not relevant and replacing them with numerous categories that drove an immediate algorithm change within Google visibility. In late December, Google visibility began to climb.

In Q1 of 2021, revenue started to surge for Smoke Justis. After category correction, we began generating 5-star reviews, replying to every review with keywords, uploading geo-tagged photos, and uploading engaging post content. After another month of active management, thousands of locals were recommended Smoke Justis as an option for their relevant searches, which led to significant traffic and revenue growth.

GEO-TAGGED PHOTOS

Photos that have custom geolocation code embedded help Google determine where the photo is from. The better Google can understand you location, the better job it does making sure those looking will find you.

REVIEW GENERATION

Google will highly promote restaurants with many 5-star reviews, which many restaurants struggle to generate. Our tools generate 5-star reviews and can weed out negative reviews.

CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT

Google prefers when messaging is turned on, allowing customers to directly ask questions through Google to be answered quickly by a real person from the restaurant team.

REGULAR POST CONTENT

Posting content regularly can increase visibility. Whether promoting events, new menu items, changes to operation, or expressing gratitude, it’s important to always have a post for customers to interact with.
