Your Google Places Listing

This is the next post in the series How to Build a Business Online in 7 Steps.

Step 2.5 – Google Places listing

As part of getting your website into shape I would advise you to also create a Google Places listing for your business. Google Places (formerly known as Google Maps) is a great way of getting your business listed on page one of Google for those people searching for your type of business in your locality.

There are certain steps you need to take in order to make your listing effective and to encourage Google to display it for relevant searches. To help you with this I have provided the slides from a presentation I give regularly, to small business owners, that goes step by step through the process of getting your business listed on Google Places and optimising it yourself.

You can see the presentation here and you can download it here. Don’t worry I won’t ask you for your email address before allowing you to download it
