Google Places is a Mobile Friendly Platform

You need to establish your places page today! The first thing you want to do is locate your business on google maps.

This will mark out your location for google to find your business. Then when someone is in your area looking for your product you will pop up.

You do not want to claim your page until you have mapped it. It will take Google about two weeks to call and confirm your place page.

Once that happens. You can go ahead and start to optimize you places page. It will give your business your very own website.

You want it to get your potential customer to do one thing. You can have that be call you. You can put a coupon on the page for them to come and try your product.

Keep it simple.. Do not try to tell them everything about your product or service here. The places page is designed for the smartphone owner to find what they are looking for at any given moment.

When the page is optimized it will have links to your website or blog. You can upload video and pictures here to catch peoples eye.

Just remember that once the page is there it is the key to people finding your business. By making sure that it is optimized on maps they will find you.

You then have the ability to have them call you. Offer a discount or visit your website for more information. This is the new phone book on steroids.
