Components of a Google Local Search Results Page

Any business owner can sign up with the Comprar avaliações Google program and be advertising on the first page of Google in just an hour or so. There is no easier way to have a business seen on the first page of Google. HOWEVER, it’s EXTREMELY difficult to achieve an acceptable return on investment with PayPerClick advertising.

It’s all but impossible for a novice to put together a winning combination of bid price, ad copy, and landing page. In most cases, a PayPerClick consultant is required. At the very least, tremendous time and work are required by the business owner to test and learn how to profit with

PayPerClick advertising does have its place and should be considered by every business owner at some point. But it’s not wise to implement PayPerClick before taking advantage of all the free options Google offers. Let’s get free local business and organic listings set up and working before spending money on PayPerClick!

Local Business Listings – Google’s Prime Real Estate

Nothing beats free advertising! Notice the Free listings above. The plumbers who have their sites and contact information listed next to the map pay nothing for that advertising!

Simply put, the plumbers who understand how to place their business on that search page are stealing customers from the other plumbers in Augusta every day.

Most searches for goods and services with the name of a city produce a Google map with adjacent business listings (see the above graphic).

Best of all, it doesn’t cost a dime to be listed there.

First, I’ll address two very common misconceptions about the free spots in Google Local Business listings.

• Unlike the Yellow Pages, these great placements cannot be purchased for any amount of money. It’s not about how large a business’ marketing budget is.

• If a business does not show up on the first page, owners do not have to simply settle for poor placements. There are specific steps that can be taken to move any business up in the listing order to enjoy the profits of a first page listing!

Local Business Listings are the listings just to the right of the Google map. (Yahoo and Bing have their own version of Local Business Listings.

Most local businesses are already listed in the business listings. These are seen by clicking the link “more results near…” which is found below the main listings. Although most businesses are listed in those pages, few are ever seen by potential customers. Most searchers never go past the first or second pages when looking for a local service or product.
