Google Guaranteed: The #1 Solution to Local Business Marketing!!!
With Google’s new Guaranteed program, small business owners now have an alternative to expensive search engine marketing. For those who are unfamiliar with the program, it offers local companies a way to attract more traffic without investing in paid search campaigns. The idea is that contractors will be able to show up at the very top of search engines even above the traditional paid ads with a green checkmark displaying the Google Guaranteed logo.
What is Google Guaranteed?
The Google Guarantee is a service that is provided to customers who find local businesses through the Local Services Ads platform. The guarantee is up to a $2000 reimbursement for anyone who found your services through Local Services Ads and they aren’t satisfied with the quality of your work. This instills confidence in potential customers when they’re looking for your services and they see the green checkmark by your business name displaying the google guarantee badge.
This means contractors can show themselves as the top result on Google’s Search Engine results pages without investing time or money into paid campaigns like Adwords PPC campaign where there are many other competitors trying to get the same spot!
The Google Guaranteed rollout was a little slow at the beginning because of the verification processes and prerequisites. To be guaranteed by Google you must abide by the laws and regulations of your state for the given trade. In some states, your special contractor trade might require a license and in some states, they don’t. You however as a contractor should be up to date with that information.
Depending on whether you have to enter a client’s home with your business your employees might be subject to a background check before you are approved. One of the best ways to outrank anyone else on Google Guaranteed is to be the business with the best and most reviews as well as with the most photos. At Triumph Unlimited we have proprietary strategies that can help you generate a ton of authentic reviews by utilizing a direct link and list of customers you’ve already served in the past.

One important factor when creating and managing the listings and social media accounts across the internet for your business is consistency. How consistent is the NAP (name address and phone numbers) for your business. Similar to a credit report Google looks at inconsistency as negative signals and instead of getting rewarded, you get penalized.
