Dive into GMB Business Website

 

In this session Damien dives into a relatively simple part of GMB - the Business Website but shows you advanced ways to boost your listing.

The GMB account allows you to build a simple website using a basic "builder". The idea was to allow small businesses to have their own website. It is not widely used as most businesses have their own websites.

However, while you all have your own propriety pages on the main websites (Pestforce / Lockforce / Washforce)  you can use the workings of the GMB website to power up your GMB listing.

Key things (activity and actions) that will help you and your business grow

What is covered in this video?   Why This Matters You’re being challenged to honestly assess whether you’re truly focusing on the basics that drive results.  These reminders come from real conversations with the marketing team and franchisees. If you want to get the best outcomes, make sure you’re not just “doing the do,” but doing it with focus and intensity.  Don’t forget: support is available—use your digital team, partners, or admin help as needed.   1 . Get Reviews & Replies  A Priority Reviews are the lifeblood of your business.  It’s not just about how many you have, but how recent they are and where they come from.

If you’re not actively asking for reviews and making it easy for customers to leave them, you’ll miss out.  Don’t just rely on automated systems—ask directly.

Don't Put Up With Unwanted Sales Calls.... Taking Positive Action

Boring, frustrating and unwanted!! So take action... after all you are probably paying for the call to you and they are taking up your precious time. Firstly, ALWAYS answer you phone even if you think it is a sales call. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW and second guessing could cost you a lot of money as you will get some genuine calls from numbers outside of your dial code or from commercial businesses that have 0333 type numbers. Secondly if it is an unsolicited sales call don't be polite and let them do their pitch. Be professional and advise them that the call is unsolicited and you are not interested. Thirdly, Block numbers that you recognise to be sales calls. You can do this on most mobile phone. On our Tracking numbers we can block numbers if you let us know. ...

Sole Trader or Limited Company - what is the difference..?

 I have been asked on many occasions what is the difference between running your business as a Sole Trader versus a Limited Company...? In this article I set out some of the advantages and some disadvantages to give you a good idea, however I must caveat that I am not providing formal advice in this article and I am sure you can appreciate that the law does change over time and therefore you should seek proper legal advice before you decide which route you take. In our network today I would say that 75% are sole traders and 25% are limited company although there are more choosing Limited Company than previously. The Advantages Limited Liability separates your Personal Finances from your Business Finances.  This is one of the biggest reasons that people choose this route. As a sole trader the business is "you" and therefore should a customer have a claim against you (for loss, damages or similar) then a claim is against you personally and you would be required to settle the cl...
