Turbocharge Your Business in the Heart of the North East: Elevate Your Google Business Profile with Instagram Magic

Hey there, business aficionados of the North East! It’s Dave from Northern here, and I’ve got a little gem of a strategy that may just elevate your online presence. Picture this: you’ve got the North East buzzing with your incredible business, but your Google Business Profile feels, well, a bit vanilla compared to your Instagram’s vibrant showcase. What if I told you there’s an incredibly simple way to spice it up?

Bridging Two Powerhouses

In the world of marketing, it’s all about synergy. Here at Northern, we’ve seen the magic that happens when you let your Instagram content breathe new life into your Google Business Profile.

The Roadmap to Results

Let’s dive into the steps we recommend:

1️⃣ Revitalize Content
You’ve already created stunning visual stories on Instagram—why not double down on them? By repurposing these posts to your Google Business Profile, you’re leveraging what’s already working! It’s a win-win.

2️⃣ Craft Compelling Descriptions
Sure, images speak volumes, but pairing them with meaningful words amplifies their impact. Provide thoughtful insights about your services, highlight their unique features, and sprinkle in what makes your business essential to the North East vibe.

3️⃣ Localize Your Narrative
Location, location, location! Seamlessly blend in geographical context. Whether you’re shouting out nearby icons or using local lingo, make sure those familiar with the area feel that connection.

4️⃣ Stay Consistent
Consistency is key. Regularly updating your Google Business Profile helps in cultivating a consistent brand aura across platforms. It’s all about creating that irresistible magnetic pull for your audience.

Celebrating Success

We’ve watched businesses embrace this strategy and the uptick is undeniable—their profiles gained visibility and engagement soared.

Boosted Views and Interactions
Repurposed content sees new life, creating a pathway for familiar Instagram interactions to migrate over, fostering trust and recognition.

Enhanced Search Presence
Combining smart text descriptions with local tags gives search algorithms a nudge, boosting your rank in local searches.

The Allure of Visuals

Why does merging Instagram with Google Business work so well? Visuals attract and engage, creating emotional connections that text can’t always capture. This visual dynamism combined with the ability to search locally? Incredibly powerful.

Navigating the North East and Beyond

Given the shifts surrounding us, especially with changes like Brexit, it’s crucial to be adaptive. If your business has felt the tremors, this method offers a chance to refresh your approach and resonate more deeply with local consumers.

Your Go-To Blueprint

Here’s Northern’s step-by-step guide to making waves with repurposed content:

🔹 Choose Winning Content
Start with your Instagram stars—posts that have hit it big with your audience are ideal for your Google profile.

🔹 Structure Regularity
Create a consistent posting schedule, no matter the frequency, to maintain a routine presence.

🔹 Adapt Captions for Google
While Instagram allows for casual tones, Google requires clarity and conciseness. Adapt your language accordingly.

🔹 Weave in SEO
Keywords matter. Drop them in naturally to aid visibility without making them stand out like clunky signage.

🔹 Leverage Google’s Tools
Integrate features like offers or Q&A alongside your posts for maximum engagement.

Keeping Abreast of Market Trends

Staying ahead means engaging with your audience’s desires in real time. Dive into Instagram analytics and observe which posts excelled. It’s those insights that illuminate your strategy on Google.

Enriching the Community Connection

Celebrate being a North East local! Engage your audience with content that echoes the community’s spirit. Collaboration can amplify this, whether it’s teaming up with local influencers or businesses—get creative!

Final Nuggets of Wisdom

Regularly sync Instagram posts with your Google Business Profile.

Enrich content with detailed local narratives.

Keep your brand voice authentic and consistent across platforms.

Stay tuned into market shifts for optimal content strategy.

Cultivate authentic local connection with your community.

Great work from NORTHERN! We were looking to rebrand the company logo, but we were unsure how to go about it. NORTHERN understood our company before designing the rebrand, and it worked great. He introduced ideas we hadn't thought of before, and has a real eye for detail. Very fast turnaround and listened to any ideas we had also.
