5 GBP Mistakes Costing You Customers (And How to Fix Them)
Think your Google Business Profile is working hard for you? Chances are, it’s quietly losing you customers every day. Most business owners make these 5 common mistakes—and miss out on big growth.
Mistake #1: Ignoring Photos
• Problem: No photos? No trust. Profiles without visuals get 42% fewer clicks—and that’s customers walking away.
• Impact: People judge your business in seconds. A blank GBP looks unprofessional and forgettable.
• Fix: Upload 5+ high-quality photos today—your storefront, products, or team in action. It’s a simple step for big growth.
• Tip: Bonus: Add a new photo monthly to keep it fresh!
Mistake #2: Weak Descriptions
• Problem: A generic bio like ‘Local business’ doesn’t cut it—it’s invisible to Google and boring to customers.
• Impact: You’re missing chances to rank higher and hook clients who need your services.
• Fix: Write a short, punchy description with keywords like ‘[Your City] [Service]’ and a call-to-action—e.g., ‘Call us for [Service] today!’
• Tip: Keep it under 750 characters for max impact.
Mistake #3: Incomplete Hours
• Problem: Outdated or missing hours confuse customers—and Google might skip showing your profile.
• Impact: If people can’t trust when you’re open, they’ll go elsewhere.
• Fix: Double-check your hours in GBP. Add special hours for holidays or events—it’s a quick win.
• Tip: Set a reminder to update seasonally—takes 2 minutes!
Mistake #4: No Reviews
• Problem: Zero reviews? That’s a red flag. Profiles with reviews get 7x more engagement.
• Impact: Customers trust peers over promises. No reviews = no credibility.
• Fix: Ask 5 happy clients for a review this week. Send a polite text or email with a direct GBP review link.
• Tip: Respond to every review—shows you care and boosts trust.
Mistake #5: Sloppy Posts
• Problem: Irregular or vague GBP posts waste a golden opportunity to stand out.
• Impact: Posts boost visibility, but only if they’re consistent and clear.
• Fix: Post once a week—share a quick tip, offer, or photo. Keep it short and add a ‘Contact Us’ button.
• Tip: Schedule posts in advance with GBP’s built-in tool—easy growth hack!
