Ennen Mobalia

The team struggled to update details, respond to reviews, or showcase what made the store special.
Inaccurate info and a lack of control meant customers’ first impressions were often negative or misleading.
The Google Business profile was unclaimed, outdated, and filled with unflattering, irrelevant images.

Mobalin jälkeen

Mobal claimed and verified the profile, giving ICA Nära Sergels Torg full control over their digital presence.

Outdated images were replaced with fresh, on-brand visuals; info is always accurate, and weekly offers keep the profile dynamic.

The result? +75% more actions, +66% more profile views, and a 78% jump in local search visibility—turning Google into a powerful channel for foot traffic and engagement.
