Well, it’s a great FREE tool and when you consider that a recent Deloitte’s report predicts eConveyancing will be the norm, with 100% of conveyancing transactions taking place online by 2022, it certainly adds weight to the statement.
It’s a great snapshot of your business even before users and potential clients delve deeper and visit your website - users can see all your information at a glance.

You can attach original images and photos to your listing, for personalisation and to give you some control of how you appear on the Search Engine Results Page and Google Maps.
Let’s Take A Closer Look at Conveyancer Benefits.
It's Great for your Local Presence
Google My Business (GMB) allows you to appear in Maps and Local Pack listings. The organic search results for your conveyancing business can enhance your online presence and your paid digital marketing efforts, while also promoting your physical shopfront presence. It’s highly visible and puts your business in front of users in your geographical area.
The physicality of your conveyancing business is still an important consideration for potential clients. Even as the process of the transactions moves to digital, local knowledge and expertise will remain critical to successful transactions and outcomes for buyers and sellers.
Customer Reviews + Interactions
GMB offers instant call and message services and enables your customers to leave reviews; so above all it’s another free and simple way to answer customer questions and calls, book meetings, and instantly respond to reviews via the GMB mobile app attached to your account.

You want people to share those successful experiences; it’s word of mouth, and for your conveyancing business it’s imperative that those successes are shared. The GMB feature makes it simple for your customers to leave reviews, good and bad.
Reviews improve local SEO and increase sales overall.
