Google Business Profile Adds Social

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) has now added the option to list social media profiles on your business listing. This is a new feature that Google has added, and not too surprising, because after they tried to do their own social media site along time ago which failed, they’re finally starting to recognize other social media sites is important to a business.

How do we go about adding our social media profiles to our Google Business listing?

We need to go to Google Business Profiles and click on edit business settings. Under business settings, scroll down to about the middle of the pop up screen and find add social profiles. Click on this and then we’re gonna add all the profiles that they allow us which are Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), Pinterest and TikTok.

Make sure that you fill them out properly with the exact link that comes from your profile. To do this, navigate to the profile on either Facebook, Instagram or whatever social media site and copy the URL at the top of the page. This will be the exact link that goes to your profile and is important to have this exact link, copy and paste this link into your Google Business Profile. You can make sure that it is the correct link by pasting it into a browser and going to it and navigating and make sure that it pulls up the business profile.

Once you have all five then you are done with that particular part of the profile. It’s important to continue to add to your business profile and make sure that it is up-to-date as possible. The profiles that have the most up-to-date information are the ones that will rank at the top of the map pack when customers are searching for your product or service. Getting to the top of the map pack is somewhat of a complicated task because you need to fill out all the information and get as many reviews as possible and have the business around for as much time as possible.

These are all the factors that go into ranking at the top of the map pack.

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas. SkyPoint Studios is a market leader in both Billings & Havasu and Jophiel is working on building that same level of market dominance in Vegas.
