Google comes to your rescue with its arsenal of powerful marketing tools

March 31, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

Emily Fordice from Nashville's HORTON GROUP has a informative post about Google Business Photos on her blog.

"Google right now handles about 67% of all online searches in the world. Every day, the search engine registers about five million searches. So it is evident that you HAVE to optimize your business on Google to garner visibility amongst your target audience. But this is easier said than done. Your competitors, too, are thinking along the same lines and you will need to pull out and play all the marketing cards that you have up your sleeves to clinch podium position on the Google search engine results pages.

Thankfully, Google comes to your rescue with its arsenal of powerful marketing tools. Google Business Photos is one such tool that marketers can wield to competition-crushing advantage. It is slowly but steadily making its presence felt in the digital marketing spheres, and if you make your move now, you can win an edge over your competitors."
