Berkeley SEO questions
When should a Berkeley business update its Google profile?
Before the fall semester starts and again before spring. That's when new students and families are searching for everything for the first time.
Do attributes like 'women-owned' help?
Attributes help customers who care about them choose you, and they make your profile more complete. Only add what's true.
