Welcome to Business Places!
What is a Google Places listing?
A "Google Places" listing is a pre-indexed, pre-seo’d website of a local business that is already listed in Google. Most Google Places listings are already receiving traffic. A business can use their Google Places listing to show their businesses address, website URL, email address, phone numbers, a description of the business, photos, videos, offers and much more.
When someone searches for a service, such as a doctor, lawyer, plumber etc, organic search results will be merged with Google Places listings and will show up in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).
Claiming Your Google Places Listing
Most business owners are too busy and don’t have a full time marketing experts to go through the tedious process of claiming a Google Places listing. In order to receive a listing, you have to create a Google account, include all your information, categories, pictures, videos, register, and verify. If the claiming process isn’t done properly at 100%, it will negatively affect your Google Places listing in the local search rankings.
Another consideration is the ongoing maintenance, which is the most important part to building and keeping your Google Places listing ranking. Your Google Places listing should updated fresh with new offers, content, and reviews to ensure the highest quality score.
