Overcoming Google Business Challenges

⚒️ Turns out, not having a physical storefront makes Google Business a bit of a challenge ⚒️

As we build Aine as a digital-first brand, we're embracing the flexibility and opportunities that come with an online-only presence. But, platforms like Google Business are still tailored for traditional brick-and-mortar businesses, which creates some unexpected hurdles when it comes to things like verifying our business and showing up in local search results.

While it’s been a learning curve, we know that trust is key. People search for businesses online — they want to see legitimacy, especially when shopping with a brand they haven’t encountered before. It’s not just about having a cool product — it’s about showing up in the places that matter, and proving we’re here to stay.

We’re working through the technical side, and figuring out how to adapt to a system that wasn’t designed with us in mind. But even in a digital world, visibility still matters. We’re committed to doing what it takes to make sure Aine is seen and trusted, no matter the format.

If you’re running a digital brand or navigating the challenges of Google Business, we’d love to hear how you’ve managed the process!
