If you are running a business that has a physical address, adding your business to Google Maps (Places) is IMPERATIVE. However, there is more to Google Maps than just adding your listing.

1. Don’t Spam

I know a lot of business owners who want to try to add their listing to multiple addresses all over town. DON’T DO THIS. You are not going to trick Google. In the end, you’ll get your business from never showing up on the map again! Besides, why would you want to upset potential customers with sending them to the wrong location? That’s just bad for business.

It’s worth so much more to play by the rules. Having your listing show up is far more valuable then never having it show up. We’ll show you why right now:

2. Have O.C. Search Complete Your Google Places and Business Directory Submissions

Why? Because we have helped many local businesses gain a far more valuable return because we know how to do it correctly. There is quite a lengthy process to doing the Google Map submission that goes beyond Google Places. There is also an order by which one should add their business to the correct directories. We specialize in this process and it will pay for itself many times over.

If your business is already showing up at position “A” on Google Maps for the city your business is in, then that’s excellent. You should contact us to make sure you stay there. We will also make sure you are getting to most out of your listing and improve the authenticity of your submission. Finally, we can drive even more traffic from your business listing submissions.

If your business is not on Google Maps, call us right now.

This is a very important and often overlooked SEO technique for small businesses. It didn’t really occur to me how important this submission was until my friend who is a dentist asked me how he could get his practice to show up on Google Maps. After doing a little searching I found the submission link for this service:
