Service-related companies identified with the Google Guaranteed badge, are more apt to be selected for a job by people browsing local search results.

What Is a Google Guarantee?

‘Google Guaranteed’ is Google’s way of suppressing fraudulent service companies and those who provide sub-standard work.

Google Guaranteed companies must successfully pass the Google screening process for identity verification, insurance and licensing.

Per Google:
“If you’re backed by the Google Guarantee, and your customers (that came to your business through Local Services Ads) aren’t satisfied with the quality of your work, Google may, in its absolute and sole discretion, reimburse the customer up to the amount paid for the initial service, subject to a lifetime limit.”

The trend is for people to just set up a business Facebook Shop and start selling, but their website is getting lost in the shuffle. Either there isn’t one, or if there is – it’s being neglected.

Are you depending on Facebook to make all the magic happen?

Let’s take a look at a few reasons why businesses need to have a website along with a Facebook Shop.

Visual marketing has become an important bridge to connect with those seeking what you’re offering.

Why Has Visual Search Become So Popular?

• Has become essential in most digital shopping experiences, and is especially important for e-commerce Brands.

• Many people don’t know what they want but “will know” when they see it. Some know what they want, but don’t know what it’s called.

• Is a growing opportunity with the potential to push significant organic traffic and conversions.

An Email Subscriber List is what businesses use to build relationships with potential customers, while staying connected to established buyers.

Once a person subscribes to your list, they’re allowing you access to their Inbox – along with their family and friends … they’re offering you their trust because they’re interested in what you offer.

To some, building a solid Subscriber List that will help your business grow may not seem an easy task.

More and more businesses are learning the value of using Facebook to connect with potential and repeat buyers.
