Have you ever used Google maps and wondered how people seem to have their business listed so that you see a little map pin with the company’s details?
Well the answer is that the businesses have registered themselves on the Google Local Business directory.
It’s a free service – all you have to do is have a Google account. Then you can add the details of your business including your website, phone and email contact details and a description of your business.
If you sell products there is event the facility to upload photographs of your products.
It only takes a few minutes to update your profile and you can also update it over time.
Spending a few minutes writing a compelling 200 character description of your business just could result in attracting new leads and more clients as people use Google maps to find their way around your home town!

Thanks Krishna,
A useful tip and easy to apply. The first time the phone call confirmation aborted but the 2nd time around it worked. Took no more than 10 minutes in total
