Have you noticed that when you include the name of a city in your google search, the top listings are displayed next to a google map? You can control your listing through http://www.google.com/local.
You can enhance your listing by adding your business hours, your logo, keywords, even video! In order to create or “claim” your business, you’ll need a google account. If you don’t have one, create one now. Google offers a ton of features that you can use to enhance your web site, which I’ll be writing about on this blog.
Here’s what to do:
- Sign into your google account.
- Visit http://www.google.com/local
- Click the link labeled “Put your business on Google Maps”
- Click the link labeled “Add New Listing”
- Fill out as much as you can.
That’s it!
