Introduction
Did you know most customers in Kerala search on Google before choosing a restaurant, store, or service? If your business isn’t showing up, you’re missing out on sales every day.
Why Google Matters for Local Businesses
- Kerala locals use Google Maps and Search to find everything—cafes, tailors, gold shops, spas.
- 70% of buyers click one of the first 5 results.
Easy Steps to Get Your Business Found
- Create or Claim Your Google My Business (GMB) Profile
- Visit Google My Business and add your shop/service details.
- Add real photos, your address, hours, and phone/WhatsApp number.
- Optimize Your Website for Kerala Keywords
- Use keywords like “best [your service] in [your city]” (example: “best electrician in Thrissur”).
- Add Malayalam phrases—Google recognizes local language too!
- Ask Customers for Reviews
- More reviews = better ranking. Send a quick WhatsApp after every service: “Would you mind reviewing us on Google?”
- List Your Business on Kerala Directories
- Examples: JustDial, Sulekha, KeralaYellowPages. The more places Google finds you, the better.
- Publish Helpful Content
- Write a blog answering common customer questions in your field (see below!)
- Share Malayalam and English posts—they both help!
Kerala Example
A Thrissur restaurant set up GMB, added menu photos, and replied to every review. Result: 3× more reservations through Google in three months.
Final Tip
SEO is not instant, but it works for months and years once you get it right. Combine with Google Ads if you want instant sales.
