Optimize for Google Local and Business Listing

Recently, I have started to utilize the google local business center. My first encounter with this feature arrived after searching for competing keywords. When I saw the search results, there was a box of the map with business listings. So I thought to myself. Hmmmm. People see local listings before organic listings and thus would click those more often.

It just made sense. Being high in organic listings was not enough because now there was a listing with business names and phone number. The sweat off my forehead hit the table. I quickly plunged into the google local center and signed myself up.

After a couple of days, I saw no response and my ad was not showing up. Uh-Oh where did it all go wrong. As I read my listing I realized my mistake. I put my business/company name in the listing instead of keywords.

So here is the lesson: PUT KEYWORDS + COMPANY NAME IN GOOGLE LOCAL.
