Are you signed up at the Google Local Business Center?

December 18th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

If you’ve searched on Google for a local business, you probably noticed that when a locality, such as city and state are part of the search terms, the #1 position in the organic (unpaid) search results is a Google map showing local businesses related to the search term.

An example:

This would certainly benefit you to be a part of that listing because of it’s position. It is a much shorter route to the top of the search results than any other.

The Google Map listing is not directly related to Google Search, but works in parallel to it. So listing in Google Maps is NOT a replacement for good search engine optimization, but a compliment to it.

Listing your business in Google Maps is easy and free. It should take you less than a half-hour to complete the process. If you are unsure about getting it done right the first time, call your web design or marketing professional.

Listing also opens the door to tying in your Google Maps listing with your Google AdWords campaign, and is an essential part of any online marketing strategy for local businesses.
