What impact have the recent changes made by Google had on your business?
If you are a local business then the answer is a lot!
Google Places, formally Google Business Listing is a must have service to compliment your website as it allows you to get more online traffic, more business and more profit as you will be seen in a more prominent position by your potential customers in the search engine results.
The anatomy of a ‘local’ search results page in Google for the term ‘plumber milton keynes’:
Your Options
As you know you have various options when it comes to promoting yourself on the web but they are not always the best for your business. Here’s why:
Pay Per Click Advertising
The problem with Pay Per Click (PPC) is that the more popular it gets the more expensive it becomes.
Google Places Listing
The next best place and most trusted place to be is first place in the Google Places listings highlighted in green. THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE – NOW!
Organic Result
The highest position an organic listing can now get is the first Organic Result (in red). However with the Google changes this is now half way down the page! So it won’t get as much attention as the Places Listings.
So how do you get a Google Places listing that generates more traffic for your website?
Well you can register one for FREE – it’s no secret, but the question is HOW DO YOU GET A TOP RANKING GOOGLE PLACES LISTING?
There are dozens of parameters that Google take into consideration when making their decision and it is these small ‘attention to detail’ parameters that we concentrate on optimising for you.
Who can benefit from the Google Places Booster Service?
The Google Places Booster is essential for any business that trades locally and needs to be seen for local search queries such as Plumber Milton Keynes, Electrician Milton Keynes, Solicitor Milton Keynes, etc.
If your search term does not trigger the Google Places listing results then this package is not for you! For example ‘cheap black shoes’.
What do you get from the Google Places Booster Service?
Google Places Set Up
Our Google Places Booster Set Up service is a one off package to initially optimise your listing and set your business up for real long term results. Once completed we then swap over to our maintenance package for a lower fee to ensure the listing gets to the top and stays there.
You may already have a Google Places account – that’s fine we don’t mind amending existing accounts or starting from scratch. We shall liaise with you and get the lowdown on exactly what you do and then find the phrases that trigger Google’s local places listings and put them in all the right places.
Google Places has strict guidelines, if you already have an account it is more than likely you are breaking their Terms and Conditions without even knowing – they won’t tell you! The fact that your listing is performing badly or not even showing is an indication your listing is breaking those rules.
☑ We make sure your existing listing is fully compliant or if we are starting from scratch we use best practice as recommended by Google themselves.
☑ It’s then a case of filling out all the required information, text, images, videos, business location and getting the listing authenticated.
☑ We’ll create a local kml file for you to help Google identify where you are.
☑ We’ll even create a YouTube channel with your company graphics and colour scheme and create and optimise some basic videos that can then be used in your listing.
Your Google Places listing is now capable of reaching No. 1 – let’s get it there with our Google Places Booster Maintenance Package
