Are there certain things I can do on my Google Business page to increase activity?

Great question, Dave. Google rewards profiles that stay active and fresh, so it's really about giving consistent signals. The things that move the needle most: Post weekly — use Google Posts for updates, offers, or quick tips. An active profile beats a dormant one. Get reviews steadily and reply to all of them — the flow of new reviews over time (and your responses) matters as much as the star rating. Add fresh photos often — recent, local photos drive more views and clicks. Fill out every field — categories, services, service areas, hours, attributes. Google only ranks you for what it knows. Use the Q&A section — seed and answer common questions; it's indexed and builds trust before anyone calls. Turn on messaging and reply fast — response time is a signal and captures leads who won't call. Do those consistently and you'll see both activity and ranking climb. Happy to help if you ever want to go deeper.
