Last year, Google Maps quickly became the number one online map directory service in Australia, surpassing whereis.com.au.
Did you know that you can put your business on the Google Map?
If you haven’t yet done so, head over to Google’s Local Business Center to list your business. The Local Business Center allows you to add your business to Google Maps and list additional information about your business.
Once your business is listed, it will soon come up on the Map in many Google web searches that include a location. For example, if you search on Storage Melbourne, you will see that the search result features a Map like this:
One of the handy things that Google Maps adds is the ability for customers to get directions to and from your business by just by clicking on your business name.
You can see how this change to search results has changed the game a bit. If you had a number one ranking in Google for a location based search, you might now find your website way down the page. So it’s vital to ensure that your Local Business Listing is showing up on the Map.
