Google Maps – Let Customers Find You
Will You Be Found?
Do your locations show up when customers search in your area? One easy way to let customers come to you is to make sure your company shows up on Google Maps.
Spend 10 minutes and claim your business, put in basic company information and then site back and watch. Even better, add coupons or get your customers to write reviews. Make it easy for potential customers to know what you do and how good you are. For franchisors, you can even manage multiple locations through the Local Business Center.
Getting Set Up
- Go to Google Maps & type in your company address
- Click on the letter for your location
- Click on ‘Claim your business’ and put in the information requested
- Add your hours of operation, company description, website and other relevant information.
- Google will add links to web pages that mention your company
Advanced Options
You can invite your customers to write reviews of your company – just ask them to search on your company & then click on the ‘Write a review’ at the top left-hand side.
Add coupons by going to www.google.com/local/add (where you can also manage information about multiple business locations). There is no charge to set these up. Consumers then see your special offers and can download them, print them off, and bring them in to your location to redeem. Another easy component to a comprehensive online advertising strategy…
