Purpose

To describe the different steps you and customers can take in order to increase Google Visibility by changing settings in Timma Pro, as it isn’t always clear what does and does not affect it, this article is here to help explain the steps you can take and also why.

We do not provide support for Google, so further inquiries regarding Google Business Profile need to be directed to Google.

Procedures

Much of why a company is or isn’t visible on Google is mainly on Googles end and unfortunately quite unreliable from time to time, but there are certain things we can check for if this occurs;

If a company is not visible on Google, we can start by looking at the settings of the company in Timma Pro and also depending on which services they use in Timma Pro.

Here are two steps, based on what they use in Timma Pro and also what you can do regardless of which part of Timma Pro you use;

1) They use Timma website builder:

You can add descriptions for the website through keywords and website description. Make sure that the keywords are non-generic (i.e haircut, makeup, coloring, etc.) and instead to some degree personalized and unique to the company. (Mainly company name + location, company name + haircuts, etc).

Example would be: “Patriks salon Stockholm, haircuts Stockholm, Patriks Haircuts”, etc. The idea is to focus on the main part of your business and repeat it as much as you can with different combinations.

• Step 1: Build the website with customer
• Step 1.1: Add keywords and description of website to Google

2 ) Things you can do regardless of which services they use:

• Step 2.1: Check that the adress is correct in the company information
• Step 2.2: Check that their onlinebooking and Marketplace links work correctly.
• Step 2.3: They have open days and are bookable.
• Step 2.4: Add adress, description, images for the marketplace on the company page in Timma Pro.
• Step 2.5: On their social media pages, like Facebook, Instagram etc., add the link to their Timma online booking as well. This link can be found on the company page. Reason being to show Google that this company is connected and active on different platforms just like the step above.
• Step 2.6: Add their website (if they have one), social media channels and connect them to their Timma Pro account under the company page. The reason is we can’t multiple connections between Timma Pro and customers other plattforms.
• Step 2.7: Google Business Profile. Google Business Profile is free to sign up for and create a profile for your company. If a company profile is made, you can then further add descriptions, adress, links to website (or best case scenario ask them to link the website button directly the their onlinebooking with Timma).

FAQ

”Is there a way to check the Google indexing for the company?”

Yes, in these cases send your question for a Google indexing to #Dev_support in Slack.

”Company isn’t showing up in Google even after these changes have been made”

If the changes haven’t affected the visibility for the company it could be due to multiple factors. In many cases the Google algorithm needs to update which can take a day or more, up to a weeks or worst case scenario a months time. If the company isn’t visible after a period of time, one to three days, notify and check with #Dev_support in slack if they can assist/check Google indexing.

Troubleshooting

If you’ve done all the above steps, and even waited for a time and nothing seems to change, the best you can do to troubleshoot is to check with #dev_support.

These are case by case situations and the reason for it to not work can differ between each company.
