Episode Description
Google Business Profile (GBP), formerly Google My Business, is the platform that gives your business the opportunity to show up on local or brand searches. But it is still under-utilised by most businesses I come across.
It is a platform that every local business owner should be aware of and use, given that the information you submit to your listing can appear in a number of different ways on the search engine, including the knowledge panel and maps.
Google Business Profile brings with it a whole host of benefits for local businesses, including helping them reach new customers, increase their overall visibility, and ensure that their customers can find information as easily and as quickly as possible.
Just remember: local searches go beyond the simple discovery of new businesses. Often, people are searching for directions, contact information, the busyness of locations, reviews, and more.
A Google Business Profile is effectively like having a free ad for your brand on Google. If someone searches your brand or keywords closely related to it, your listing takes up a 3rd of the screen’s real estate on desktop and sits between ads and organic search results on mobile. If you are old enough to remember, this is like the old premium listings in the Yellow Pages — but you don’t need to pay for this one! The amount of information you can display in your listing is incredible.
With this 5-minute workshop, I want you to set yourself a task by updating one aspect of your Business Profile each day. Once optimised, set yourself just 5-minutes per week to keep this updated with photos, videos and news. By doing so, you will increase your chances of your brand being found and increase your chances of gaining new customers.

Breakfast Buzz Podcast – issues that kept me up last night hosted by Culden Kamea.Culturally we Pacific Islanders are not good at asking the hard questions and giving the hard answers. It’s a poor excuse I know, but it’s a real one – more often than not we’ll sweep the Q&A under the mat and sleep on it, or mix a tanoa of Kava.Well not anymore. Now that I am just old enough to be able to ask the tough questions and probe for the truth. More importantly, I will lean on dear family to join me in sharing their views and expertise on key issues facing Fiji and our Pasifika brothers and sisters in areas like gender equality, finance, the law and our rights, climate change and our Pacific ocean, Women’s rights, politics and governance, sports, especially Women’s sports, tourism, religion and social issues.As you may know, we Pacific Islanders have really big families and mine includes Richard Naidu, Cathy Wong, Robert Wolfgramm, Im
