I just finished a big road trip – NY to MN to NY. And how did we decide where to stay, eat and visit? My smartphone! If you have a business where location matters, you want to make sure you are coming up on local searches. Over the next couple of weeks, I hope to provide some tips for making sure you do show up! None of the tips will take long – so maybe worth 15 minutes to do each task when you get the email. See if it makes a difference to your business.

First Tip: Make sure you claim your Google Place: http://tinyurl.com/n98wqt5

The process of getting listed is not difficult – but remember to use the good keyword terms that someone would use to find someone like you – not just find you by name. Be sure to include pictures and ask happy customers to post a review for you!
