How Google Maps Can Help You Dominate Your Competition

As discussed on the previous page on how your customers use Google maps, Yellow Pages is now used less than online local search from Bing, Yahoo and Google.

This offers you the chance to secure some prime online  real estate for your business. It similar to the difference from a retailer being on the high street or a small shop in the suburbs.

What would you choose?

Just because you cannot see people walking past does not hide the fact that we can now with a reasonable accuracy, estimate how many people will be there for specific keyword phrases in a day or a month.

We can even tell how strong the competition is, not only by the numbers of them, but by how well they are optimized. Some marketers think that you should not enter a market with more than 30,000 competition pages, others say 500,000…the real truth whether it is for that top listing on google maps or the top ten spots of google universal search which is the results you normally see when you searchg on google is that itreally depends on how well your competition is optimized.

They may have their keywords in the title of the pages, they may have high page rank web sites, they may have aged domain names which also helps.

Regardless, google maps is a relatively new phenomenon and the chances are that you will be able to get into the 10 box or sometimes 7 box as we call it if we do some very specific things while getting your site listed. We have clients who have been so well optimised that Google has them in a one box all on their own. This form of small business advertising on the web can be very lucrative for a minimal financial layout initially.

We offer some very cool additions to the basic listing service too which many of our competitors are not using themselves for their clients. In fact some of our competitors are advertising that they can get you listed without a web site…well, actually that’s true, but you wont be anywhere to be seen once the competition wises up if you have not optimized your listing, and having a web site is a very basic essential to get the full power of the  local business listing.

If you do not have a web site we will create one for you at NO EXTRA CHARGE if you are taking our Google maps listing & optimization service.

If you are interested to claim some prime real estate for your business online then you need to take action soon before your competitor does. The early bird catches the worm!

Before we go to the superb package we have put together for you, lets see if perhaps you are already listed on Google maps and don’t know about it yet.

Your Customers Use Google Maps to Search For Local businesses.

According to this video by Google, even Aliens could find a local business that has been listed..

YouTube Preview Image

We established on the previous page how you can get your business listed on Google Local Business Center

The stats now confirm that Google maps and local search in general from other search engines such as Bing and Yahoo is taking over from the business yellow pages and white pages business listings. You can advertise your web site for free and get better results than taking the biggest banner on business yellow pages!

These days if somebody wants some information they have the information at hand either through a laptop, a desktop computer and increasingly through their cell phones, essentially they have more info in their pocket than what they can find in the yellow pages. You can get movie trailers, directions, even real life pictures straight from your pocket, i think its safe to say that if you are spending heavily on old media like yellow pages that you should start to consider the budgets being modified to rely less on the old yellow book and more on getting on local search centers from Google, Bing and Yahoo.

If your potential customers are not finding your business on Google maps, then perhaps they will find your competitors. In the next page we will learn how to get the right strategy to dominate your competition

You Can use the form to contact us with any questions that you have.

….Or Perhaps Your Competitors Are Already Listed on Google Maps!

The easiest way to find out is to search for your business name and location, if you are already on Google maps it will show with a map of where you are.

If you are there then click on the map you will probably see a picture of your premises too!

Its pretty cool yeah! But being listed isn’t going to do you much good unless you are optimized too and sitting on the front page is the goal…we want the prime real estate, lets take a look at that in a case study.

Now do the search with your service and location, for example if you are a Plumber service in Miami then type in Plumber services Miami. You should see a list of your competitors there too.

You will see a list of 7 – 10 businesses listed and some markers A through to G for example.

In Fact let’s go a do that search for the plumber in Miami, i just did it and i want you to see something.

You will see listings of 7 businesses, all from A through to G.

A is the top plumbers listing.

Now, this is where it gets interesting, if you click on the A you will be taken directly to the plumbers web site.

Why is that significant?

It is significant because A through to G represents geographical locations, by clicking on the A you would expect to be taken to a list of plumbers in that geographical location but that is not the case, instead it takes you right to this specific plumbers web site…He is dominating Google maps for that geographical area of Miami.

What strikes me when you go to that web site is how badly optimised it is. Does that mean he got lucky in getting to the front page of Google maps? Probably not but i have no doubt he would not be difficult to remove with a well optimized and strategical campaign.

I can’t help wondering what the population of that part of Miami is, and he is right there in front of all of them when they search online for a plumber. The other thing to note is that when people search for a service within a location it is usually with the intent of doing business. They are usually searching for a plumber of fridge repair company or car hire firm when they want to pay for that service…I hope you are beginning to see why we need that prime real estate!

That’s just a very brief look into the power of Google maps for page one listing your business with a real example of our plumber in the previous page  Dominate Your Competition …we would like to take a closer look at another case study and do some Basic Keyword Research for Your Local Business Profits and get a better picture of what a Google maps first page position might be worth to you.

If you want to make contact you can fill the form below but i would encourage you to see our Google Maps Listing package with page one guarantees for our local online advertising  in the next page first.
