Q. What Makes Your Service Different Than Using Other Services Like Yellow Pages, Local Ad Link, Or Adzzoo?
A. That is a very important question. Acording to Comscore's report on Local Search Marketing it became very obvious that a local business needs to be visible across multiple mediums of local search in order to maximize their advertising efforts. Most services like Yellow Pages, Local Ad Link or Adzoo specialize in one or two segments of local search which may limit the exposure your company will recieve for your brand and services. At Google Me Local we have designed a program that gives you maximum exposure and guarantees placement of your company on the front page of the search engines, through sponsored links, Google Maps Optimization, Organic SEO & Press Releases.
Q. Why Is It Important To Be Listed In Local Google Maps Listings?
A. It is a proven statistic that over 40% of ALL SEARCH on Google is LOCAL SEARCH. With Google's recent changes in their local algorithim now more than ever you can drive very targeted traffic to your local business from national search. Look at the stats for just 1 key term below for one of our clients. Over 3151 clicks to their website, 1172 Clicks for Map Information and 113 Clicks for driving directions.
Q: How Long Does It Take Before My Google Maps Listing Appears?
A. Your listing should appear in the Google Maps within seven days of submission...however it typically takes 30-60 days to get in appearing on the front page of Google on a consistent basis. This is because Google has a process of confirmation process called (algorithim) of checking several other pieces of information on your listing versus other listings in their directory. Google allows you to optimize for up to 5 keywords for each listing that you have. We carefully choose those keywords to help you obtain the highest level of available search traffic for your listing.
Q: Why Did My Listing Appear In The First Week....And Then Disappear?
A. For the first 30 days your listing will be in flux. This is due to Googles process of ensuring that you have a viable addition to their listing directory and to ensure your listing is not "spam". This screening process takes approximately 30 days, and tends to seek a stabalization rate at a decelerated pace from days 30-90. You can take assurance we are on top of it....every step of the way.
Q. I Have Several Locations For My Business Can I List Those As Well?
A. Yes. Google requires a seperate location and phone number for each of your Google Maps Listings. If you do not have physical locations in each area that you want listings for then your Google Me Local consultant will assist you in developing the best strategy for multiple listings for your business.
Q. Google Maps Offers Their Listing For FREE, Why Do I Need To Pay For A Listing Service.
A. Great question. You are absolutely correct the Google Listing Is Free. However, optimizing it for continuous front page rankings that get seen by local search, GPS, 411 and Mobile Phones is very complex unless you know how Google's Algorithim works. There are multiple steps that must be taken to optimize a Google Maps Listing. Google utilizes a very complex process of verifying that you are a local business and are listed across GPS, 411, Mobile Phone, and Local Search Directories, Categorized correctly and all listings are accurate. In addition you have competitors coming into your space every day that are trying to knock off your listing out of the top 10 listings. Google Me Local handles all of this for you...while you answer the phone calls that come pooring into your business.
Q. Why Do I Need Local Search Marketing And Search Engine Optimization
A. With over 61% of all local shoppers using the internet to find local providers and services....and growing exponentially each year...if you are not getting your website seen you are losing 100% of that business. The Yellow Page Directory worked for the last 120 years, but is no longer the preferred method of connecting local businesses with targeted customers. Google and a number of other search engines publish suggestions that will help give your site higher rankings, but typically it takes an experienced consultant to propel your site into the top five results, where approximately 70% of all clicks come from. The Google Me Local program is designed to position you as a brand leader in your city for your market niche by optimizing you in sponsored links, organic search and Google Maps.
Q. How Many Businesses Will You Work With In My Niche Market?
A. One of the key advantages of our program is we will only optimize one business for a particular set of keywords. The reason for this is we do not want to compete against ourselves, as it would make our job much harder. For example: Let's say you are a dentist in tampa and you want to optimize for (5) Keywords: tampa dentist, dentist tampa, dentist in tampa, dentists in tampa, tampa dentists we would not optimize any other dental firm for those keywords as long as you are a paying customer of Google Me Local. Should you suspend services, we will simply offer our services and organic rankings to another dentist in your area.
