SEO for Ecommerce Podcast

Can Google Business Profiles help ecommerce businesses attract more customers and increase their local visibility?

In this episode of the SEO for Ecommerce Podcast, host Glen Chamisa is joined by Mike Martin, local SEO specialist and founder of GBPly, to explore how ecommerce brands can make better use of Google Business Profiles in 2026.

Many businesses create a Google Business Profile and rarely update it. However, Mike explains why treating your profile as an ongoing marketing channel, rather than a one-off setup, can create opportunities to attract local customers and generate more sales.

During the conversation, we discuss:

Google Business Profiles for ecommerce: Why online retailers with eligible physical locations could be overlooking a valuable source of customers.

Local SEO and business visibility: How maintaining accurate business information, citations and online profiles can strengthen your presence.

The GBP Loop: Mike's framework built around profile completeness, pictures, posts, praise and consistency.

Common optimisation mistakes: Why outdated images, incomplete information and neglected customer reviews can undermine your profile.

Multi-location management: How businesses and agencies can manage multiple Google Business Profiles more efficiently.

GBPly and automation: How technology can help streamline profile management, content scheduling and review responses.

Mike also shares real examples of ecommerce retailers that have expanded their local presence through Google Business Profiles, alongside practical steps businesses can take to improve their approach.

Whether you're an ecommerce business owner, SEO specialist or digital marketer, this episode explores how local SEO can complement your wider ecommerce marketing strategy.

In our latest episode, we chat with Tarun Kamath, from Arcady Media on how AI is changing retention marketing for ecommerce brands.

We discuss why retention is one of the most powerful profit levers in ecommerce in 2026, why it’s significantly easier to sell to existing customers than acquire new ones, and where many brands fall short after the first purchase. We break down how AI can be used to improve segmentation, predictive modelling, and lifecycle automation while maintaining brand authenticity and customer trust.

Tarun also covers the risks of misusing AI, the importance of clean and reliable data, and why understanding customer journeys should always come before implementing automation.
