What is the Google Business Profile (GBP)?

It is actually free advertising space in the Google space but you need to follow Google's rules. Your real-life business becomes visible on the internet and can be found in Google Search and on Google Maps. This allows you to gain extra customers every day. As long as you follow the numerous guidelines, Google won't suspend the profile. Your competitors would only love that. Start using your GBP right now!

I'm a top Google Local Guide. What does this mean? 

I have a Level 10 Google Local Guide account which is the highest level one can reach in the Google world. 

Being a member of Google's Local Guide Connect group , they rank me in the top 25 of most successful photographers worldwide. My images have been viewed by potential customers  1,1 billion times. Google trusts my account and this may have an impact on your GBP. First, based on my activity, the algorithms seem to prefer images that are published with my account and, indirectly, your GBP may benefit from this hard-earned trust.  Secondly, we know that images on the GBP help people make decisions. On average, each of my images has currently been viewed over 59.00 times. The algorithms probably see that I have a professional trained photographer from the famous photography schools in Paris Efet and Arles in France. 

Social Media for Art Galleries & Museums

Having a specific interest in art, I attended a special seminar on how Art Galleries and Museums should use social media for better communication and get more visitors. Award-winning social media specialists who currently work or have worked for the MET, MCA Chicago, Smithsonian, the Getty Museum, SFMOMA, the Rijksmuseum, El Prado, Übersee Museum and Tate Gallery shared world class, specialised knowledge and insights. Soon, I'll launch a plan for sharing this gained knowledge with art galleries & museums.
