How to Make Money with Google Maps -

Google Maps is a great tool for driving directions, finding the nearest restaurant, and exploring new neighborhoods. But did you know that it can also be used to make money? In this blog post we will go over different ways you can make money with google maps.

Google My Business Optimization For Businesses

The first way to make money on google maps is to reach out to businesses who haven’t claimed their Google My Business up yet.

If you can help them optimize their page and get it verified, they will likely be willing to pay you for your services. This would help them get higher on the google maps rankings and be seen by more people.

Steps To Optimize Their Google Maps Listing

Get them more reviews:

If businesses aren’t getting many reviews, you can help them out by asking your friends and family to leave a review.

Other ways to get reviews for businesses is to offer a discount or free product/service for people who leave a review. You can also use social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook to get the word out.

Get their information set correctly:

Businesses need correct information in order for Google Maps users to find them easily. If they have incorrect contact info or hours then they won’t show up as well and might not even exist anymore! Once you get this corrected, google maps should automatically update this new data so that all other people using Google maps can benefit from this change too.

Citations:

A citation is simply a mention of your business on another website. This can be in the form of a link or just text mentioning your company name and address. The more citations you have, the better it is for your Google Maps ranking. You can offer the business you’re working with to help them get more citations, but they need good quality websites not just random links.

You Can Charge Them Monthly To Get Them To The Top

You can’t charge a whole lot for this but you can charge a small monthly fee to get them to the top of Google Maps. They will see a small fee for a big reward and possibly take you up on your offer.

You Can Also Upsell Them On Other Services

Chances are if they haven’t claimed their business on google, they may have other deficiencies with their online presence. You can offer to upsell them on other services such as SEO, digital marketing, or website design.

With these services you can charge much more and make a lot more money.

Examples of services you can offer.

Social Media Management

-Creating and managing Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages

-Posting engaging content regularly

-Analysing social media analytics to track progress

Website Design

-Building an optimised website that looks great on all devices

-Integrating with Google Maps so customers can find you easily

Ways You Can Do This Without Actually Spending To Much Time

There are a few ways you can do this without actually spending too much time. You could outsource some of the work to other freelancers, or use software that does a lot of the work for you.

Outsourcing:

If you don’t have the time to do all the work yourself, outsourcing is a great option. You can find different freelancers on sites like Upwork or Fiverr. You could hire someone to get Google My Business Listing Optimized, while you handle the other services that need more of your time and skills.

This will allow you to go out and get more clients and also leaves you more time to upsell existing clients to do more high paying services for them as mentioned above.

You might cut into your profit a little bit but it’s worth it to have more time to focus on getting new business and making more money.

Software:

There are a number of software programs that can help you with your Google Maps marketing. Programs like Moz Local or Yext allow you to manage all your citations, listings, and reviews in one place. This takes a lot of the work off your plate so you can focus on other things.

Conclusion:

Google Maps is a great way to get businesses in front of more people. By following the tips above, you can make money with Google Maps and help your clients reach the top of the search engine results pages.
