Use Google Maps to Grow Your Business

Today I’d like to talk to you about Google Maps & Places. The service is obvious enough, since Google automatically maps your place of business without permission or consent lifting street addressed from web sites and listings alike.

What’s not so well knows about Google Maps is it’s value… The free service is a great way to generate business, unless of course you have enemies.

What Can Your Enemies Do On Google Maps?

For starters, they can completely ruin your reputation.

Fact: A single bad review on Google Maps and/or Google Places can cost your business thousands of dollars.

On the flip side, positive reviews can help position your business way ahead of the competition.

My advice when it comes to Google Maps is simple. Keep monitoring your business’ reputation, and more importantly, encourage satisfied customers to share their experience on Google Maps & Google Places.

You should even consider using incentives to entice clients to leave positive reviews. It’s an age old technique that dates back from the days of Moses and Aaron, but don’t get me started on biblical marketing strategies… ;)
