Just when small business had given up on EVER getting good SEO results . . .
Google changed
the rules again!
And this time, they’ve made it so much easier for small business to get a top listing in Google.
(I first published this in March 2011, but I think it is worth posting again now as a reminder, as many business owners still have not claimed their listings.)
You probably remember seeing maps being displayed when you did a Google search.
Well Google has taken that to a whole new level now because they recognise how important local searches are.
And they’ve made it easy to do. In fact, you can do it yourself.
1.
You may already have a listing, (set up by Google), so it is important that you Verify your listing now to ensure that no-one else can access and update your details.
The listing is open until you verify your ownership of it, so anyone can change it . . . including your competitors if they were that cheeky.
2.
Then you should update the contents of your listing, add content about what you do and optimise it so that you get better search results.
This subject is so important that we have dedicated an entire page of our website to it with an explanation of how it works, examples of listings, etc.
