You can be forgiven if you are already exhausted just thinking about how much work it will be to truly optimize your Google Places listing. The seemingly simple task of filling out the form for the basic set up of Google Places may be enough to end some plans to get this job done right.

Here then are the simple basic, quick helps for Google Places that will at least take care of the obvious and maybe get you on the

Google Local Plymouth

outside MAP in easy cities for easy keywords:

1. Don’t mess around with the name. Google wants the real name of your company. Add one or two keywords if your company name has no keywords in it. (eg. Jack’s Plymouth Solicitors is the real name and you are a Plymouth Solicitor. Use Jack’s Plymouth Solicitors

2. Google Places wants your real address and they will check to make sure it is the same everywhere it appears on the web. Put the address on the front page of your website and on every page is best.

3. Google Places prefers a local phone number, not and 0845 number, and it needs to be the same number that appears on the front page of your website and elsewhere on the web…just like the name and address.

4. The first category for your company should be one that Google suggests for the top category. The other four may be chosen from Google suggestions or you can make up your own.

5. Use pictures. The first one should be a picture that will look good as a thumbnail picture. It will appear on your listing as part of the inside maps

6. Add one or more videos. Google Places wants completeness. The video does not have to be a video you produced.

7. Come up with lots of additional information for the boxes at the bottom of the listing form. The cool thing is that you can use links in these boxes to your blog, menu’s, reservation forms, etc.

8. Create a Coupon. It really can’t hurt and people love coupons and offers

9. Set up a new Google Account for your business. Don’t use your personal Google Account, or another business Google Account, or even a 3rd party vendor’s Google Account.

10. Get your customers to give you reviews.

This is only the beginning of doing a great job on Google Places Listings. If you are in a difficult category or a competitive city, and if you want to rank on the Google Places Map, either read and completely follow the instructions elsewhere on this blog or hire me to do it for you

Google Local Plymouth

Google Local (now called Google Places, or was Google Maps!) is the new Yellow Pages and you should be there now!

Google Places is the name for the map that shows up on many “Local Google Searches” – We help you get on that map so that you can be in front of a possible customer RIGHT at the moment they are looking for you!

• Example you are a Solicitor in Plymouth and someone Googles “solicitor plymouth” well you just know you need to be on the map or pretty close with a good first impression to get the first telephone call or email inquiry!

• The other scenario could be thus – You are a pub that sells good pub grub on the Barbican in Plymouth – there are a group of businessmen staying in a local hotel nearby – one of them does a Google search for  ”pub food barbican plymouth” and your premises rank high on the map AND you have a coupon available with a nice offer – amongst all the pubs, restaurants and bars on the Barbican who do you think will get the customer? YOU!  We deal with that!

Did you know that an ever changing coupon or special offer can be set up on Google Places and thus rank you high – and drive customers to your business.

With the economy being up and down you really need our help and we really need you !

Just as many small business owners want to stop spending so much money on the yellow pages and move their marketing ££££s to the internet, I also believe shoppers and information seekers will choose the web over the yellow pages in massive numbers in the next month.

Local E Commerce Plymouth

With that in mind, I believe local search offers a great opportunity for small local businesses to reach customers on Google .Those of you who take advantage of this and Google Local sooner, rather than later, have the best chance to win in the end.

Google Buzz, Twitter, Google Places (the map) and one more ;) will take over local internet – Google – rankings very soon!

Estate Agents – watch out for Google Real Estate and the pending UK release. This is proving to be a massive hit in the US, Australia and Japan – it will be huge in Plymouth as I will be showing Local Estate Agents how to do it.

Meetings will be free fancy talk, confusing lingo and to the point! Remember Google is changing the way we advertise – get on board now!

Our local meetings will be held in the luxury, private room at the Treasure next to St Andrew’s Church and the Watering Hole on the Barbican.

Need help and tips with your Google Local rankings ?

If you’re thinking about hiring an SEO, the earlier the better. A great time to hire is when you’re considering a site redesign, or planning to launch a new site. That way, you and your SEO can ensure that your site is designed to be search engine-friendly from the bottom up. However, a good SEO can also help improve an existing site.

Some useful questions to ask an SEO include:

• Can you show me examples of your previous work and share some success stories?
• Do you follow the Google Webmaster Guidelines?
• Do you offer any online marketing services or advice to complement your organic search business?
• What kind of results do you expect to see, and in what timeframe? How do you measure your success?
• What’s your experience in my industry?
• What’s your experience in my country/city?
• What’s your experience developing international sites?
• What are your most important SEO techniques?
• How long have you been in business?
• How can I expect to communicate with you? Will you share with me all the changes you make to my site, and provide detailed information about your recommendations and the reasoning behind them?

It is so easy to rank a site well on Google and build your business online but….

SEO Fairy Stories! Grrr!  I have heard so, so many dodgy seo sales pitches of late it really is getting on my wick.

• SEO Hiring Advice: Be careful of the salesman type that dodges questions and promises rankings
• Several “seo services” try to baffle businesses with science – seo is not really science now is it?
• Way too many lies, deceit and bull going on out there. We just don’t do that!
• We sleep at night – nothing to worry about as we’re happy campers same as our clients!

In many cases we offer an SEO GUARANTEE that you will rank WAY HIGHER than you do now – if not half your money back!

All we ask is that you be careful who you believe – there are no seo secrets! Google are very transparent and everything you need to know is out there!

• We make SEO and Google adWords easier for you – it’s easy!

Google have just introduced Google Places which previously was called Google Local Business Centre.

Soon it will be so easy to get a decent photographer to visit your small business in Plymouth and Devon to get yourself a nice, tidy business listing on Google – you know the maps you see on the search listings that show up.

In the US and Australia it is said that Google are charging about the equivalent of £15 a month to be “on the map” and really that’s fair enough.  Google have changed the way we do business and deserve the money to help change the word which they continue to do!

Brilliant :)

If you need any help I can do so and do not charge an arm and a leg or talk a baffling story!

• We have always taken care of our customers and charged a fair, low rate
• We design simple, attractive websites and blogs. We also recommend other worthy things
• We really do help small businesses in Devon and Cornwall get more business
• The web “by Google” is there for you and we recommend you embrace it – together everyone does well!

Warm regards
