Have you ever noticed that when you are looking for a business on the internet that Google usually pops up with a little map and all the similar businesses near your location?

It’s now easier than ever to get listed on this map and something you should do immediately today, it will almost guarantee you a first page top link in a matter of days.

Here’s how simple it is…

1)      Goto Google.com

2)      In the top right corner if you hover with your mouse you should see the option to sign in. Click here and if you haven’t already created an account do so now.

3)      Once you have signed into your account the main page should have a number of links on it. Mid way down there should be a section titled “my products”. On the right hand side of this section there is a link for “Places” click here.

4)      On this page you should see the option to Add a New Buisiness.

5)      Complete all the details of your listing, once it’s complete and saved you will need to verify your listing with a PIN entry. This is now super easy as they will call or text you with the PIN. A quick entry and your listing is now complete and will begin appearing on Google Maps and local searches shortly.

6)      When completing your listing take advantage of being able to list in 5 different categories, start typing your keywords and choose the best results accordingly.

Make sure when you write your description you use your primary key word, make it real easy for people to find you. Additionally I highly recommend you attach videos to your profile, the internet now is all about video people want to check you out long before they ever talk to you. Gain an edge over your competition by always having the best listings.
