Google: The Most Powerful (Free) Growth Tool You’re Not Using

You’re Ignoring Google’s Free Tools—and It’s Costing        You Customers

As a Client Success Manager overseeing over 300 merchants for a major fintech company, I’m still amazed at how many businesses ignore Google’s free tools.

I get it. There’s more to life than obsessing over a company that connects you to your customers through years of data, algorithms, and an army of well-paid tech geniuses.

But here’s the thing:

Google isn’t just a search engine. It’s your storefront, your referral network, and your reputation manager—all in one.

And if you're not using the free tools they give you?

You’re basically turning off the lights and locking the front door.

Pro Tip: Build a Google Habit—Just Like Your Morning Coffee

It’s time, isn’t it?

Just like grabbing that first cup of coffee when you walk into work, you should build a routine around your online presence too.

Start with this simple habit:

📸 Take a photo of your new product

✍️ Rename the file from “IMG_8834” to something like red_love_seat_hollywood_florida.jpg

💡 Why? Because Google reads file names.

Doing this gives your content a better shot at being found when customers search for things like “red loveseat in Hollywood, Florida.”

That small step—done consistently—helps drive traffic to your Google Business Profile, your website, and ultimately, to your store to transact.

Now, I want to share this experience with others by opening Pottery Place. It is more than a business; it's a community where people can disconnect from the daily grind, connect with their creativity, and discover the joy of shaping their own narratives through clay.

— Antonio Hernandez, Client Success Manager & Digital Growth Advocate
