Use Google Products To Enhance Your Local Business

If you have not heard or used Google maps yet, let me tell you, it is a lot of fun! You can zoom in and out of locations and privacy issues have been questioned. But its still a useful tool and has many uses apart from the obvious.

With the popularity of mobile browsing, having your business listed in Google Local/Maps has its advantages. Businesses that have a local brick and mortar business benefits from being listed here.

Did you know that a local business listed in Google Maps comes up in search results if a user searches for a business in that particular location? In other words, you do not need a website to appear in Google search results locally, if you are registered this way.

What are the chances of a customer typing in "pizza, Richmond" in the Google search box? Very high. Or "dentist, melbourne"? High again.
