Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Google Business Profile for displaying new items on the web that may not be as visible on our physical website or, are a variation of a more popular item. That in turn brings in more visibility / sales to accessory type items (ex, a replacement rubber strap for a respirator mask).

Pros

I appreciate how you can select your amenities and customize your profile to stand out in a unique manner
it's super easy to add new products / post updates about your business
The use of pictures is helpful for our customers, we're at the end of a industrial park and it can be tricky to find the front of our office at times. Customers have mentioned our business profile pictures helped them locate us!

Cons

I don't love the new login, instead of prompting the user to login with your gmail credentials, you now just look up your business name and it logs you in instantly if you are logged into google already. - This is nice but, also feels less secure in a way.
I think the ads are a bit upfront and pushy but, nowadays what platform isn't.
I really don't have any other complaints regarding, Google Business Profile has been very helpful in growing our online presence.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a business, big or small, there is simply no reason to not have a google business profile. - It brings visibility to your business and allows your customers or potential customers to get a feel for your business & what you have to offer. For example, our company specializes in PPE (lots of people think gloves, glasses & respirators) but, we have much more than that such as electrolyte drink mixes, led flare lights, & traffic cones.

We use Google My Business as a place to be able to list our website and information as well as our hours and our contact information.

I wish you could be able to edit and add more information other than what is there
Be able to determine or see what pages your listing is on
Drive more traffic and calls, maybe paid version
