Summary
Did you know that 97% of your potential customers will Google your business before deciding whether to use your services? This is why your Google business listing is so important and why you need to optimize your google presence.
On the final episode of the Social Media Summer Camp series, we are taking a break from social media. I’m joined by Google, SEO and social media expert, Sommer Poquette. Sommer has experienced huge success with her clients by optimizing Google listings and truly taking advantage of the Google My Business service.
Sommer is the CEO of Keep it Real Social and is dedicated to helping her clients to effectively use social media to grow their business.
This episode is extra special for me as this is not Sommer’s first time on the BizChix podcast. I previously did an on-air coaching call with Sommer. After being a part of our GrowthChix Group Coaching Accelerator program, Sommer’s company has gone from being a 5-figure business to a 6-figure business! She is now back as our Google expert and I’m so proud of her.
Sommer teaches us all about why we should claim our Google business listings, how to use the free Google My Business service and all the benefits it will bring with it!
Let’s get ready to embrace Google with Sommer Poquette...
On this episode, we discuss:
- Why Google My Business matters and who it applies to
- How to claim and customize your Google listing
- How to optimize your Google listing and the importance of reviews

| 0:00.0 | We are wrapping up our social media summer camp series by not talking about social media. |
| 0:12.4 | I know it sounds weird, but what I want you to do is to divert some of the time you would normally spend on social media. |
| 0:22.1 | And let's be honest, we're all spending a little too much time on social media. And make sure you are set up in Google for |
| 0:28.1 | business. If you have a physical location for your business, this episode is a must listen. |
| 0:35.3 | If you have a virtual or product-based business, you will want to still listen to |
| 0:39.5 | see how you can take advantage of this feature in Google. First of all, it's free. Second, |
| 0:46.3 | it's Google. And who doesn't want to make Google happier about their business? I know I do. |
| 0:59.7 | Before we dig in, may I welcome you to the Biz Chicks podcast. I'm your host, Natalie Eckdal. I'm a business strategist, power |
| 1:04.6 | napper, out-of-the-box thinker, author, speaker, mama, MBA, and CEO of BizChicks, Inc. Our business is dedicated to helping |
| 1:14.3 | women entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses while retaining more profit, yay! And creating more |
| 1:20.9 | time for their VIPs or very important people. My VIPs are my husband Mark and our three children ages four to 17. So we are |
| 1:30.7 | juggling preschool, elementary school, and high school here in this house. I have a very full life |
| 1:36.8 | running a home, family, and this dream business where we coach and mastermind with high performing |
| 1:42.9 | women entrepreneurs from diverse industries, |
| 1:46.6 | locations, cultures, and various ages. In case you're wondering, I don't have a perfect life |
| 1:52.7 | and I don't claim to be superwoman. It all works because I have a team and coffee. I have help |
| 1:59.8 | at home and in the business. I always encourage women to get as |
| 2:04.5 | much help as they can afford. And may I remind you that just because you can do something |
| 2:09.9 | does not mean that you should. This interview is special to me because I am interviewing someone |
| 2:16.2 | I did an on-air coaching call with earlier this |
| 2:19.2 | year in episode 354. I am bringing back Summer Poquette because she has a deep background in |
| 2:26.7 | social media and working with local businesses. And she has found huge success with leveraging Google for business with her clients. |
