Google Local Business Listings Depend on Your Profile

Writing by Brick Marketing on Tuesday, 25 of March , 2008 at 7:35 pm

Did you know that getting listed in Google local listings isn´t necessarily left to chance? You can list your own business, set up your profile and edit your information. This is extremely valuable because you don´t even have to pay!

When you list your business with Google Local, you will be sent a PIN via snail mail to the address you put for your business. This is to prevent people from scamming the system and setting up multiple locations for their supposedly local store when none actually exists. So, as long as you are legit, you should have no problems at all.

The next step, once you have your PIN, is to log into your business profile on Google Local and set up your profile page. This is where the real value comes in. When a business appears in the local listings, there is a little “more” link beside or below it. This will take people to your profile, so you want to sell your business here. Include photos, carefully written copy and anything else that could help promote your business, including location and operating hours.

Google local business listings can be invaluable. Being listed right up at the top of the results page is undeniably the best place to be for free and it isn´t that difficult.
