Does your business provide a service such as plumbing, lawn care, or cleaning? If so, you should strongly consider making it easier for potential customers to request quotes for your services. Adding a ‘Request a Quote’ button to your Google Business Profile is an excellent way to do this, as it enables customers to send you messages directly from your profile and makes it simple for them to initiate conversations and request more information.
Note: The ‘Request a Quote’ feature is only available to some GBP categories.
If your business is among the service providers that have access to this feature, here’s a breakdown of how to add it to your profile and quickly increase your traffic.
Step 1: Log in to your Google My Business account.
Step 2: Click on the ‘Info’ tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
Step 3: Scroll down to the ‘Add profile short name’ section and add a short name to your profile. This short name will be used to create a custom URL for your Google Business Profile.
Step 4: Scroll down to the ‘Add a button’ section and click on the ‘Add a button’ button.
Step 5: Select the ‘Request a quote’ option from the list of available button options.
Step 6: Enter the URL for your quote form or the page where customers can request a quote.
Step 7: Click on the ‘Create’ button to add the ‘Request a Quote’ button to your Google Business Profile.
While incorporating the ‘Request a Quote’ feature into your Google Business Listing can be incredibly beneficial to your business, it’s important to consider whether you have enough time on your plate to dedicate to monitoring it.
As a business owner, monitoring and responding to requests in a timely manner is crucial. By promptly responding to any service requests, you are more likely to build a positive reputation with potential customers and increase their chances of choosing your services over your competitors.
