3 min readIf you’re a property manager, you already know that timing is everything. A prospective tenant browsing listings at 9 PM on a Sunday isn’t waiting until Monday morning to hear back. If your Google listing says “Closed,” their business may go to a competitor who is open and ready to help.
Being available 24/7 isn’t just about great customer service, it’s a powerful way to boost your visibility in local search results, drive more traffic, and sign more deals.
88% of local searches lead to action
88% of searches for local businesses on a mobile device result in a call or visit within 24 hours. The first business to respond gets the deal. That’s why being “open” in Google’s eyes is critical.
Google prioritizes businesses that are open
One of the top factors in Google’s local pack rankings is business hours, specifically whether you’re open at the time of search.
For example if someone types in:“apartments near me” at 10:15 PM or “emergency maintenance in Dallas” at 6:00 AM, Google’s algorithm prioritizes showing businesses that are open, not just nearby or highly rated.
If your profile shows “Closed” your chance of appearing in the top 3 local results (the Google Map Pack) drops dramatically.
Be open without being glued to your phone
Your Google Business Profile can show you’re open around the clock if someone trustworthy is there to answer.
By updating your Google Business Profile and using a live 24/7 answering service, you can show up as open all the time, without sacrificing sleep or peace of mind.
This tells Google (and your prospects) that your business is responsive, reliable, and worth ranking higher in local search.
