Most operators use only about 30% of what Google gives them, and your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a traveler sees before they book. 

In this episode of the Tour Operator Growth Podcast, Nikki and Greg break down how to turn your profile from a static directory listing into a mini landing page that actually drives bookings, plus the features almost nobody is using.

What you'll learn:
- The foundation that matters most: NAP consistency, the right categories, services, and a strong description
- Why authentic photos, recent reviews, and a real response to every review build trust (and why a 4.7 beats a 5.0)
- The underused features (Google posts, messaging, booking links) that signal you're active to both travelers and Google
- How to measure success with Insights and UTM tracking so you're counting bookings, not vanity metrics

If this episode helped, share it with a tour operator who's letting their profile sit there, and subscribe so you don't miss the next one.
