Chapter #10 Google Maps & Places

When you are looking to optimize your local business listing, Google places and maps is a great way to do this. Formerly Google Local, it is truly a powerhouse for free marketing that is available to local businesses.

Google Places displays local business information at the top of organic search results. Organic search results are the results listed directly beneath the search bar. These should not be confused for the sponsored results that are commonly displayed on the right side of the page.

These local results also include a map providing the searcher with directions to your place of business. Since Google will only show up to 7 businesses on their main page (with maps) being in the top 7 for your keywords becomes crucial to your success.

It takes time and effort to become listed in the top 7 amongst the local businesses in your area, but a good way to start is to visit Google and search for Google Places. Register for an account and click on the link that says "Add a business." Google places does currently only allow one number per listing, so make sure it is your company number and that should someone call after business hours they are able to find out about your operating times, and are able to leave a message should they wish to request more information.

When you are creating your description page keep in mind that you are allowed a 200 character description of your business, so you will want to focus almost exclusively on your product or service. This is not the space for going over your company accomplishments or history. This is exclusively a place for letting the customer know what you have to offer.

This way when they run a search for printing paper, if your business is a printing business, it will show up in the search results. Make sure to maximize your 200 character description by choosing very detailed and keyword rich descriptions.

It is important that you don't waste the space and aim to use as many of your top keywords as possible within your description.

Once you have completed your description you are able to submit the form. If you wish to add the business hours and information you can do that at this point as well.

Do keep in mind that with the new Google Places local business, your listing will not be active until you have verified your account. Normally the verification can be completed by a phone call from Google's computers to the phone number of record for the listing.
