With increased competition and more savvy customers utilizing the internet to find the best local businesses for their needs, your business may need to adapt in order to survive. The age old adage of, “be where your customers are” still holds true now. Maybe more than ever your business needs to be found where your potential customers are spending time.

How To Rank on Google Maps
To look like more than just a “lead generation” site you need to have branded sites that your company interacts with it’s customers on. This whole process of being where your customers are weighs quite heavily with Google’s constantly changing algorithms.

It is often as simple as speaking into your phone your desired search string, and the phone will give out a few local dots on a map with the option to call that business with two clicks. Relating to Google, that is referred to as being found on, “Google my business” or “Google Local 7 Pack” or “Google Map Pins”. These are very powerful and can give the customer driving directions to your business, let them call you or visit your website right from the Google Application on their phone.
