Google Maps Optimisation Training Course

ONE-TO-ONE Training Workshop, relevant to you and your business. It used to be that when people wanted a local business or service provider they grabbed the yellow pages. Well not any more... over 65% of people use the internet. If your customers are locally based, the importance of concentrating on the local optimisation of your website and local directory listings is paramount.

Millions of people search Google Maps every day. Google now displays its maps results on the first page, in their regular search results. They call this the “10 box" because 10 local businesses are displayed in a box, right there on the first page. You will also find that the 10 box shows up regardless of whether the searcher used a geographic term in the search.

Google is reporting that 1 in 3 local searches now shows a map. In the US, maps received 868 million impressions in December alone. That is massive, especially when you consider the proportion of searches that are for terms such as “facebook” where a map would never show. This is great news for the small business, wanting to target local customers. It is more important than ever that your local business is showing up in those Google Maps results.

Getting a free local listing with Google’s Local Business Center is easy, but attaining top positioning is not. You must understand the ins and outs of how Google ranks their local listings, which does not play by the same traditional SEO strategies for the organic listings. This workshop will demonstrate the techniques to achieve a top local business listing in The Google 10 Box.

This is a more straightforward and faster way of achieving a position 1 listing on Google. If you follow our methods and procedures we guarantee you a position in the Google 10 Box.
