List your business on Google Local Business Center
by Marieke Hensel on February 18, 2010
If you’re alive in the 21st century and have used the internet to get information on a business or restaurant, chances are you have already used Google maps. Google maps now has an enhanced feature, the Local Business Center, that allows business owners to add pertinent information so it’s easier for your customers to find you online.
Google LBC allows you to post your hours, phone number, address, menu options and/or many other details your customers might find relevant. Google even lets you put coupons in your listing.
By doing this, Google compiles information about your web traffic. This is helpful to determine how customers are finding your business online and where they are coming from geographically.
Spend a few minutes today updating this information. Let us know your results in the comments. Keep in mind, the changes won’t be immediate, but over the course of a year, you might be surprised at what you find.
Visit Google Local Business Center to get more information and watch a video about other perks.
This is a great post! We’ve just written about the power of personal branding with Google Business and Google Regional tools as well. Take a look at my url.
Google LBC is indeed a great help for businesses. I am just starting but I am already aware how much it can help me. Thanks for this post and the links.
