Google Places
If you haven't yet claimed your Google Places listing, or have not got your listing optimised for your keywords, you are wasting a prime opportunity and leaving money on the table…
When showing search results for local businesses like yours, Google has now placed more emphasis on the physical addresses of businesses, and as such shows between 1 and 10 'Google Places' results before any of the other search engine results.
This is a 'Golden Ticket 'opportunity for local businesses to jump the queue and show up at the top of Google.
Let everybody else trying to get their websites to the top of Google fight it out, while you get the VIP treatment and use the opportunity Google is giving local businesses to beat the rest of the pack and sneak in at the top with your Google Places listing.
Google offers 1-10 'local businesses' to show up in the search results above all the 'big boys' who have spent thousands on their websites.
You have probably seen it before, but an example of this can be seen below…
What this means is, local businesses can bypass the 'normal' ways of getting to the top of Google and instead, take advantage and use the Google Places business listings to be shown at the top of Google for their particular business sector, at a fraction of the effort and cost of getting listed at the top of Google for normal 'organic' results.
Google takes their information from various places such as the Yellow Pages and whether you have claimed your place or not, they will show your business details in the Google Places search results.
Your Google Places listing can then be 'manipulated' (or optimised) to show up higher in the lisitings (ideally at the top).
Many factors affect your position including your chosen keywords, the number of photos and videos you have (and how they are optimised), the number of reviews you have, as well as a number of other factors.
This is where our Google Places Services come in.
We have the following packages on offer to suite all budgets.
Even if you have already claimed your listing we have packages to optimise your listing to improve your position.
Our aim is to ensure that all UK businesses claim their place in the Google Places listings and that they take advantage of the Golden Ticket Google has provided them.
Yes, you could claim the listing yourself for free, but if it is not optimised for keywords that your customers use to find you or your competitors it is worthless. It is the optimisation of everything on that page that we specialise in, have a wealth of experience in, and that will ultimately determine if potential customers will see your listing or not.
Don't leave it to chance…
Once you pay for your Package via our secure payment processor Paypal, you will be taken to our after-sales page where you will answer a few simple questions that will enable us to process your order, so do not close your browser after you make the payment.
You do not need an account with Paypal to use their checkout services. You can pay using a number of cards. If you prefer to be invoiced so that you can pay by BACS or cheque, we can arrange that for you but this will take a lot longer to process your order. We prefer Paypal.
We aim to fulfil your order within 3 business days of receiving payment.
You can contact us at any time during the process via email or phone.
Here's our up-front not-so-small print:
"We pride ourselves in providing an honest service that you are fully satisfied with. So, we don't make promises we can't keep and we tell you upfront what we can and can't do. This is one of the things that seperates us from our competitors who promise you the earth, promise you a number 1 spot on Google, take your money and run.
We never guarantee that the work that we do will boost you to the top of Google but we do know what works, what doesn't and the tactics that will get you banned.
Remember this is an optimisation service, not a 'guarantee to number 1' service.
Similarly, we have no control over Google and the other search engines and as they continually change their criteria for ranking websites, we continue to change our work to reflect the best practices of the time.
One other thing to be up front about is the time it takes for your listing to show up in the 'live' results. This can take anywhere between 1 day and 6 weeks. We do have a way to get Google to look at your listing after 1 week but ultimatley we are at the mercy of Google.
To verify your listing, if the details are correct, this can be done via a phone call from Google. If your address or business name needs changing this is done by postal verification and can take 3 weeks to receive the verification postcard.
Remember, anyone else not telling you this upfront is deceiving you. No matter how long it takes or what hurdles we run into we always work until the job is complete."
