No matter how at odds you might be with computers, the Internet, or technology in general, Mr. or Miss Business Owner, I have a simple tip (hey, with video instruction!) that can help you help people in your general area find you… to, you know, give you money. Now, this is but a fraction of our local search visibility package, but we’re talking about Google, the most-used search engine in the world, so this is not minor.
What this video fails to mention is that your website is more than likely not included in your listing until you claim and edit it. There are so many people who see their physical address and numbers are correct and leave it at that, of course most of them don’t even realize the possibilities and options right in front of them either.
The second thing is that by simply claiming your site you immediately get a boost in Google’s 10-pack (that list of businesses beside the map in certain searches). It’s a tidbit that gets picked up in Google’s algorithm and gives your listing a nice kick in the pants for the smallest amount of effort on your part.
It’s time to break out of our old-timey phone book mentality and take advantage of the little angles we can be working online; naming your business “A1” anything may still get you listed first in the big book of yellow pages, but with more people searching for products and services online than anywhere else, becoming just a bit more Internet savvy can be a boon to your business.
Thank you guys, I love this place, you have put a lot of work into it as I see, awesome… good work mods.
I think the amount of sites that try to “grow their supporter base by communication” is literally increasing. Many individuals jumped into building web-sites and posting without knowing the importance of developing a connection with their visitors. Like you have here, congrats.
