SEOMatrix LLC Blog: Your Daily Ethical Search Engine Marketing Treats

I would rate my ability to cook and prepare foods at, well, lets say extreme novice. In a perfect world I would be able to “replicate” pizza in a little microwave sized cubby-hole like in Star Trek. Despite how many times I click my heels – it hasn’t happened yet; so I’m forced to order takeout day after day from the same four to five mundane mediocre restaurants. Luckily, I can do a quick Google search for pizza in my area and bam – the ever knowing Google gives me ten additional pizza places I haven’t sampled yet. Not only does it tell me there are other options to where I can eat, it shows me where they are, and how to order some delicious pizza by listing their phone number right at the top of Google. This great feature known as Google Local has revolutionized my dining habits. With Google Local anyone can list their business, their contact information, and the location of the business on the ever-so-convenient Google Maps; you can even display photos of the store-front to boot!

Google Local isn’t just for hungry lack-luster cooks looking for a quick meal. It can be utilized for anything. Any type of business can be listed in Google Local, even businesses that don’t have websites (like small pizza places!). Have a flat tire? Google will tell you where you can get a new one. Desperately trying to find a new place to get your hair cut because your old stylist just can’t quite make you look like Brad Pitt no matter how many times you show him Mr. Pitt’s picture in GQ? Google will provide you with a plethora of different places right in your area.

Better yet, you don’t have to spend dozens of hours reading, researching, and learning the latest web development languages to optimize your site for the search engines. You can get your business listed at the top of the first page in Google for free by utilizing this new and rather easy feature.

If you are considering optimizing your business’ website; start by listing yourself on Google Local. It’s fast, free and surprisingly easy. All that you need is a [free] Google account and a computer. Click Here to sign up and get listed at the top of Google and find that pizza place that will actually put hotdogs on your pizza.
