You Must Have a "GREAT"

Now this one is an extra. But I put it up top because it is key. Why is it an "EXTRA", well it is a Paid Placement. Google Ads gets you there based on search, but you must have a great Google My Business Profile to bump the next bidder if all else is equal. It is the "Google Love"!
