Google Helps Local Business

Having your local business  listed in Google Maps just became more important than ever.

WHY?
Try searching on Google right now for Pizza. Not Pizza Sunbury or Pizza Delaware just Pizza.
See the pizza shops close to you listed with the map on the  first page.

How did they do that? Google is using the location of your ISP ( internet service provider) as your city location and then providing you with local business results for your search.

This new feature has potential to greatly increase exposure to local business.
Your business can be listed with Google Maps even if you don’t have a website yet.
The listing will provide local searchers with your business name, address, phone number and
even coupons if you wish.

If you are not listed in Google Maps, and don’t know how to do it yourself, I can help.

Call 800-339-4528,  I can set up your listing in about 20 minutes.

The way we use the internet has really changed over the last few years and it appears the “local web” trend will continue.

When the internet became main stream we were all thrilled we could get information from across the country – heck we could even get information from across the world.

Now that the web is not the shiny new toy it once was, it is finding it’s way in the local market in a big way.

Yes it’s still fun to talk to someone half way around the globe, but when I need to get my haircut or order a pizza, I prefer a business much closer to home, how about you?
