Need help creating your Google Places account?

With more and more consumers going online to find the products and services they need, the presence you have online is now more important than ever – and, especially for local services, one of the best ways to expose your business online is by having a correctly set up ‘Google Places’ listing.

What is Google Places?

‘Google Places’ is basically an online store front for local businesses. You’re able to provide all of the business information that you think your potential clients would be interested in, and optimise your listing so that when a potential customer searches for your service or product in one of Google’s search engines (i.e. ‘Google.com.au’, ‘Google Maps’ etc.), your business will appear along with your location on map.

Here is some other information that you should provide in your Google Places listing:

• Your website URL.
• Business trading hours.
• Your business name, along with a brief description of your products or services.
• Business contact details, including phone number and email address.
• It’s also a good idea to encourage user reviews on your Google Places listing if possible, as good reviews are always helpful in encouraging others to use your business.
