In the past year, local SEO has taken on a more prominent role for various niches, including within B2B manufacturing marketing. Having an optimized listing on Google is especially critical if you serve a lot of businesses in your area.

In your listing, you will want to make sure you have your phone number, website, hours, photos, and other key details of your business set so that you can be easily contacted by potential customers. And if you are making a new listing, getting reviews on your Google Business Profile listing can help immensely.
