Google Local – Untapped Potential to Drive Traffic to Your Site
I would say the most common question that is asked of me is: “How do I get my website on the first page of Google – FAST?” I always respond with Google AdSense. Google AdSense is the program that displays the paid advertisements on the right side of any Google search results pages. They are quick and easy to set-up and in minutes you can be on the first page of Google.
Do you know what the second question is… “Well how do I do it for free?”
That is where Google Local comes in. Google Local provides the Google Map results that show on the first page of any Google search result page. They are usually presented in a “lettered” list with little red “push pin” icons on a map to show you all the listings.
Did you know that these listings are 100% FREE? Did you know that with these listings you can list many informational items on your business such as: phone number, website, description, hours of operation and even coupons. All you have to do to get listed in Google Local is follow the steps outlined in this “how-to” manual.
