Pro Tip for Adding Questions and Answers!
Google definitely allows and even encourages business owners to ask questions on their GBP, so it won't hurt rankings. In fact:
Business owner questions are beneficial:
Better than having no Q&A content at all
Helps you control the narrative and address key topics
Creates content for important keywords you want to rank for
Shows an active, engaged business profile
The hierarchy would be:
Best: Authentic customer questions
Good: Business owner questions
Worst: No Q&A content at all
So your 90-day plan should definitely include business owner questions as a foundation, then work on encouraging real customer questions over time through:
Follow-up emails asking customers to ask questions
In-store signage mentioning the Q&A feature
Social media posts encouraging questions
Think of owner questions as the starter content that makes your profile more complete and engaging, while customer questions are the premium engagement signals you build toward.
Your goal is to get as many people as you can to Ask the Question on your Google Business Profile. All you have to do is email or text them the Question on the day that you want to add the Question and Answer according to the 90 Day Plan. You'll already have the Answer!!! So once they Ask the Question you should just respond with the Answer within 24 hours.
Next Steps After Completing the 90-Day Plan
Once you've finished adding content as outlined in the 90-Day Plan, it's time to focus on specific locations for your Google Business Profile (GBP).
For example, if you own a locksmith business and have identified that you receive a high volume of requests for residential key replacements in Green Hills, Madison, and Old Hickory, but want to attract more customers in 12 South, Berry Hills, and Sylvan Park, here's what to do:
1. **Create Targeted Content**: Develop Updates, Service Descriptions, and Questions & Answers specifically for residential key replacements in the areas where you want to increase your customer base.
2. **Track Your Progress**: Keep a record of which services you’ve enhanced with new content on your GBP for each service area.
3. **Focus on Relevant Areas**: Concentrate on creating content that resonates with potential customers in the locations you want to target more effectively.
By following these steps, you can optimize your Google Business Profile and attract more clients in your desired service areas.
