Google Maps – The New “Sweet Spot” for Local Businesses
Whether you are a business owner relying on walk-in traffic or you are a local business who wants more customers to meet with, Google Maps is the new “sweet spot”. The organic listings which are displayed directly underneath the map are still great, but nothing when compared to a top listing on the map.
Studies have shown a 42% increase in phone calls to your business just by having the top position compared to 18% for the second map marker. Visitor activity diminishes for the lower listings. Even worse is not being on the map at all!
Get on Google Maps
Google is mostly famous as a search engine and people are unaware of some of the other services that it provides. One such service that is highly useful is Google Maps, a feature of their Local Business Center. The Google Maps is a web based mapping service that provides directions, company information, images and much more to people who are searching for such information. The geographical information of the local business community is presented in an organized manner, making it highly relevant for people looking for anything from pizza delivery to dry cleaning or even a local roofer. This type of search service provides street maps, urban business locators that aid in finding any type of business in numerous countries of the world and a route planner that is very helpful for those traveling by public transport, foot or car.
Google Maps – Good for Small Business Owners
The mapping technology provided by Google is very effective for the businesses as it is an easy way to portray one’s presence online and with the directions and locations provided by the service, finding a business is relatively easy and quick. Small businesses are always on the lookout for inexpensive methods of advertising and marketing their businesses. Most small business owners however, are still unaware that one of the best services that they should be using is Google Maps, part of the Google Local Business Center. Unfortunately, getting a listing to appear is oftentimes nearly impossible. With all the pizza shops in Manhattan for example, how can Google determine which of the lucky 7 pizza shops should be displayed?
