It’s free to list your company in Google maps. That’s right it’s free! I’ve been called so many times from companies wanting to list me in Google maps, it’s beginning to almost be funny. That is if there weren’t so many small business owner getting scammed. These are not Las Vegas SEO companies trying to get your business, they are normally telemarketers trying to “scam” you. They all say pretty much the same things, you’ve probably heard it. The bottom line is that they want you to fork out a set up fee of $99. which is not so bad, everyone has to get paid for their time. But then they want to charge a fee of $100 and up per month for doing absolutely nothing. Oh you can play with categories and keywords in your title and all but in the long run it doesn’t work. No body really knows what Google is thinking when it comes to local search and they’re not letting on.
List your company in Google maps by signing up for a Google account. Once signed up go to the local business center and fill out your profile. You’ll probably have to confirm by phone or email that it’s really your business. Then fill out as much information as you can or want to, the more the better. Watch your stats, they’re free in local business center and you’re off to the races.
