The above example was from a Google web search on Storage Melbourne. 

We’re now seeing about 10 listings in the same space that we used to only see three or four. I think it’s more efficient, don’t you?

 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.

I wrote a post about the new Google Maps “Street View” feature after seeing this funny image recently. The Street View feature was introduced on Google Maps last year in the US, but the peering eye of Google was spotted here in Melbourne Australia today.

Google has a car driving around the main city streets with a special camera fitted to the roof that continually takes photos of the view at street level from many angles. The “Google van” on the right was captured this evening on Melbourne’s South Eastern Freeway.

Google Maps Street View images won’t be live in Australia until later this year. In the meantime, I have hopefully fulfilled my long term (3 week) dream of getting into the Google Maps Street View pictures. When the images arrive, look for me in a blue car on the side of the road around about here.

The Street View idea has caused a range of reactions from fascination to concern to paranoia. On the positive side, it’s quite interesting to virtually visit cities like Los Angeles and New York from the comfort of your blog station (formerly know as PC). It’s also handy to be able to see what your destination looks like before you get there.

On the controversial side, there have been some quite funny and intriguing pictures captured. The privacy implications have also caused some concern… 

From the author: If you regularly advertise for leads in the Yellow Pages®, in the newspaper or on the radio, then there’s a good chance that your website could be generating more leads for you than it is. The key is in your website’s conversion rates.
