Most businesses don’t understand the value and importance of those crazy little “google places” listings that show up in the search engines when people look for local businesses.   Google has created over 40 million “mini” websites for businesses.  All these businesses have to do to maximize their benefits is just claim them.  By the middle of 2010, only about 2% of businesses had “claimed” their Google Places page.

Those two percenter’s have a huge advantage over their competitors because their businesses will often end up with more than one listing on page 1 of the Google results pages.  Getting a Google Place page optimized while also optimizing your corporate website so that they both show up on page 1 of Google is a sure way to let customers know that your business is the best option for the products or services that they are looking for.

While there are some little “ninja” things that can be done to turbo-charge Google Places page optimization, most of the work is very do-it-yourself.  Seolidify has prepared a short series of videos that show exactly how to claim your Google Places page and also how to optimize it so that your page ranks higher than your competitors.  To get access to these videos, simple enter your Name, Email and Phone number in the form on this page.
