Google for business

Do your company’s website, hours and address show up right away when people Google you...or at all? If not, you're missing out on big business and Google wants to help you fix the problem.

To this ambitious end, Google has created a custom website for “virtually every town and city in the U.S.,” 30,000 in all. The sites provide small business owners with step-by-step directions on how to create a Google My Business listing, as well as how to improve the information that shows up about their companies on Google search, Google maps and Google+.

“We wanted to make the process of getting online easier for small businesses, and help them find their customers in those moments that matter," Soo Young Kim, head of marketing for Google’s Get Your Business Online Program told Entrepreneur.

These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google.

In 2015, google paid out nearly $10B to her publishers. That’s the power of AdSense.

Google analytics

oogle Analytics is a web-based platform which allows you to collect data about the visitors to your website. It allows you to collect and analyse information about everything from how the user arrived at your website, what they did whilst on your website, whether or not they converted, as well as offering lots of additional information about the user themselves.

Business Benefits

Basing your business decisions on empirical data is crucial to ensure you have enough evidence to suggest that you aren’t simply throwing your money away. Google Analytics is split into four key reporting areas; Audience (who is visiting your site), Acquisition (how they are getting to your site), Behaviour (what they are doing on your site) and Conversions (have they completed what you wanted them to), each of which is useful for difference purposes.

There are four overarching business benefits of Google Analytics, these are; marketing campaign optimisation, website usability improvement, target audience identification and budget allocation.

Marketing Campaign Optimisation

The optimisation of marketing campaigns is an ongoing process, but unless you know you are making steps in the right direction, you could actually be making changes which mean your campaigns perform worse than they did beforehand. This is where Google Analytics data is golden. By understanding what works and what doesn’t, you can be sure to invest your time optimising the right activities, and dropping those that don’t work.

help your image appear in Google search results

To include a picture in Google search results, add your image to a website along with a description. While you can’t directly upload images into search results, searchable images posted on a website can show up in our search results.

Add your image to the web
  1. Post your image to a website

    If you'd like your photograph or image to appear in Google search results, you'll need to post the image on a website. If you don't own a website, here are some free content hosting services that you can use:

    • Upload your images to a social network like Google+
    • Add the images to a blog using Blogger
    • Create your own website using Google Sites
  2. Make sure the image you post is public and searchable

    By posting the image on a public and searchable website, you'll make it possible for Google to find your image and add it to the Images index. When you upload the image, make sure that the page your image is on is publicly accessible. For example, if you posted the photo on Google+, make sure the privacy setting was Public.

    For more tips on posting on a site that Google will index, read about adding a site to Google.

Tips to help your image appear in Search

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that allows you to quickly and easily update tags and code snippets on your website or mobile app, such as those intended for traffic analysis and marketing optimization. You can add and update AdWords, Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Floodlight, and 3rd party or custom tags from the Tag Manager user interface instead of editing site code. This reduces errors and frees you from having to involve a developer when configuring tags.

What is a tag? What is a tag?

A tag is a snippet of code that sends information to a third party, such as Google. If you don't use a tag management solution such as Tag Manager, you need to add these snippets of code directly to files on your website or mobile app. With Tag Manager, you no longer need to maintain each of these code snippets in your source files. Instead, you specify the tags that you want to fire, and when you want them to fire, from within the Tag Manager user interface.

Image

How it works

Tag Manager for web works via its own container tag that you place on all your website pages. For mobile, Tag Manager is deployed in conjunction with the Firebase SDK, with support for Android and iOS. The container replaces all other manually-coded tags on your site or app, including tags from AdWords, Google Analytics, Floodlight, and 3rd party tags. (See a list of supported tags.) Once the Tag Manager container tag has been added to your site or app, you update, add, and administer additional tags right from the Tag Manager web application.

Your Tag Manager account allows you to administer the tags for one or more websites or mobile apps. Although you can set up multiple Tag Manager accounts from a single Google account, you’ll typically only need one Tag Manager account per company or organization.
