Slide 1: Google Local Maps is a totally new and exciting way of getting hits to your website. A lot of people who are involved in any form of website business, know very little, if anything about google local maps, and are losing out when it comes to this form of targeted and free traffic. So what exactly is this, and how do we use google local maps to enhance our website and to increase our chances of getting seen online? The first thing that we need to understand here, is that about 80 to 90% of all searches are local and that most people will naturally look no further than the third service being offered within the google local map search. Once we realise just how powerful this all is, the first thing that we need to do, it to open up a google local business placement, which again is totally free. The only thing that you need for this is a gmail account. The actual descriptions of your site, along with using correct keywords and appropriate videos and pictures, comes with knowing what you are doing and having the correct skills, required to execute that perfect google local maps placement. Once you have completed all of the above, you will be informed, usually via email, that google will be sending you out, a verification code, on a postcard, to your registered business address, the one that you used in your placement. This is purely for verification, making sure that you are in fact the owner, and also for prevention of fraud. This postcard can take up to 6 weeks to receive, but will eventually come out to you. All that is than required is for you to enter that code, and you are away! Ever since google launched its local maps service, millions of people, worldwide, are using this service, but unfortunately, most are not doing this correctly, and have very poor page placements.
Slide 2: Hence being seen online via google local maps, just doesn’t happen for a huge amount of businesses. I cannot stress enough the importance of having a good placement, and would also like to emphasize the fact a strong placement will not only help your business, but will also stamp you in google’s eyes, as an authority.
