Get Found! List Your Business on Google Local

Here’s a quick post to let you know about a free service from Google that allows you to make sure your local business listing can be found on Google.  This is a simple Internet Marketing tactic to help your business be found in Google search results.

Here’s how to get started:

  1. Visit google.com/lbc.  Create a Google account if you don’t have one, or sign in with your account.
  2. Enter information about your business, including address & phone, hours, website address & more: You can even add photos of your business and coupons.
  3. Verify that you own or run the business: Follow the instructions and enter a PIN code when you receive it, to complete the process. (We recommend using the Phone your Pin option as it takes much less time!)
  4. Now you’re all set! You can log in daily or weekly to see how your business listing performs on Google, including how many times people found it, and what actions they took.
  5. To get started today, visit the Local Business Center.

Why is this important?  First, nearly 65-70% of all searches on the Internet are done using Google!  So you want to be found on Google!  Second, posting this information allows Google to know about you and index your business location which is helpful.  Third, you are making it easy for locals to find you as your location will be identified on the Google map.
