Google Business Profile SEO for Movers: The Simple “Get Directions” Habit

Most moving company marketing feels complicated. SEO, websites, rankings, and Google Business Profile work can feel far away from the daily reality of trucks, crews, and moving estimates.

But one simple action from the podcast stands out: have your team use the “Get directions” button on your Google Business Profile when they drive back to your office.

This is not a full SEO strategy. It is a practical habit a moving company owner can add to the daily routine to support SEO efforts using something your crews already do: return to the business.

What Should Your Crew Do After a Move?

When movers finish a job and head back to the office, they should not just drive from memory. The process is simple: search for the company, find the Google Business Profile, click Get directions, and use Google Maps to navigate back.

Even if they already know the route, the important part is that they interact with the business profile and use the directions feature.

The 5-Step Crew Workflow

• 1. Finish the move or stop between jobs.
• 2. Open Google and search for the moving company name.
• 3. Find the company’s Google Business Profile.
• 4. Click the Get directions button.
• 5. Drive back to the office using the map route.

Why This Matters for a Moving Company Owner

Your Google Business Profile is one of the most important parts of moving company marketing. Customers use it to find your address, call your business, check reviews, and decide if they trust you.

The podcast points out that the Get directions button is a practical way for business owners to support SEO efforts. It is simple enough for your whole team to understand and repeat.

When This Habit Works Best

• Your movers return to the office after jobs.
• Your team can easily find your Google Business Profile.
• Your company has a real office or business location.
• Your crews are trained to follow a simple post-job routine.
• Your manager checks that the process is actually being done.

How Do You Roll This Out Without Confusing the Team?

Do not turn this into a long meeting. Make it part of the end-of-job checklist. The best version is simple enough that a crew leader can explain it in one minute.

Crew Leader Script

“When we finish a job and drive back to the office, search our company on Google, open our Google Business Profile, click Get directions, and use the map to drive back. Do this even if you know the route.”

Manager Checklist

• Show the team where the Google Business Profile appears.
• Point out the Get directions button.
• Explain when to use it: after jobs or between jobs when returning to the office.
• Assign responsibility to the crew leader or driver.
• Remind crews during dispatch or at the end of the day.

What Mistakes Should You Avoid?

This tactic is easy, but it can fail if it is not made part of the operating rhythm. A moving business gets busy fast, and simple habits disappear unless someone owns them.

5 Common Mistakes

• 1. Only mentioning it once. Crews need reminders until it becomes normal.
• 2. Not showing the exact button. Do a quick phone demo so everyone knows what to tap.
• 3. Leaving it unclear who is responsible. Make the driver or crew leader accountable.
• 4. Doing it only from memory. The point is to search the business profile and click Get directions.
• 5. Never checking results. The podcast suggests looking back in two to three months to see what happened.

Quick Win: Do This in the Next 30 Minutes

Pull up your own Google Business Profile on your phone and walk through the exact process your crew should follow.

• Search your moving company name.
• Find your Google Business Profile.
• Tap Get directions.
• Take a screenshot of the button.
• Send the screenshot and a short instruction to your crew leaders.

How Do You Know If the Team Is Doing It?

You do not need a complex system to start. You need a simple accountability habit. Ask crew leaders at the end of the day if they used the directions button when returning to the office.

Simple Weekly Scorecard

• Did crews return to the office this week? Yes or no.
• Did they search the business profile? Yes or no.
• Did they click Get directions? Yes or no.
• Who is responsible for reminding the team? Name one person.
• Will you review this again in two to three months? Put it on the calendar.

How to Apply This This Week

• 1. Open your Google Business Profile and confirm your team can easily find it.
• 2. Show every driver or crew leader where the Get directions button is.
• 3. Add “Use Google directions back to the office” to your post-job routine.
• 4. Ask crew leaders daily if they completed the step.
• 5. Set a reminder to review the habit in two to three months.

The Bottom Line for Moving Companies

Moving company SEO is not only about websites and content. Some of the best support actions are simple, repeatable, and tied to real daily operations.

If your movers already drive back to your office, make the Get directions button part of that return trip.
