The Problem

Amazon and online retailers have the online product search sewn up. But 76% of people who search for something nearby visit a store within 24 hours. That traffic is yours if your GBP is optimised.

Products not visible in local search

Google can surface your specific products in local search results. Most retailers have not configured this.

Hours not updated for seasonal trading

Wrong Christmas hours or bank holiday hours lead to a lost customer who arrived to find the door shut.

No visibility for in-stock searches

Searches like where can I buy X near me are growing rapidly. Product attributes in your GBP capture this intent.

Low review count versus big chains

Ampli5 Pulse in-store review programme closes the review gap with big chain competitors.

FAQ

Common questions from retail businesses.

Can I show my products on Google Business Profile?
+
Yes. Google allows retailers to add products, categories, and prices directly to their GBP listing. Ampli5 Pulse configures your product catalogue and optimises it for local product search visibility.
How does GBP help an independent retailer compete with big chains?
+
Local search results favour geographically relevant businesses over national chains for near-me searches. An independent with a highly optimised GBP consistently outranks big chain branches in local pack results.
How do I get Google reviews from retail customers?
+
QR codes at point of sale positioned on the counter or at the exit, combined with a prompt from staff at checkout, consistently achieve the highest retail review conversion rates.
How important are accurate opening hours for retail GBP?
+
Critically important. Incorrect hours are the number one reason retail customers leave a 1-star review without purchasing.
