<p align="center"> <strong>Did you know that you can put your business on the Google Map?</strong></p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t yet done so, head over to Google&#8217;s <a href="https://www.google.com/local/add/">Local Business Center</a> to list your business. The Local Business Center allows you to add your business to Google Maps and list additional information about your business.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.fortknoxselfstorage.com.au/" title="Storage Melbourne">Storage Melbourne</a>, you will see that the search result features a Map like this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a rel="attachment wp-att-169" href="http://www.conversionrate.com.au/171/google-maps-new-format-for-local-business-results-in-google/google-local-business-results-new-format/" title="Google Local Business Results - New Format"><br />

<p>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.</p>
<p>You can see how this change to search results has changed the game a bit. If you had a <a href="http://www.conversionrate.com.au/number-one-in-google-the-secret-techniques-that-will-get-you-there/" title="Number one ranking">number one ranking</a> in Google for a location based search, you might now find your website way down the page. So it&#8217;s vital to ensure that your Local Business Listing is showing up on the Map.</p>
