Is Your Business On The Map?

Last month we talked about how Google created an algorithm so that poorly rated businesses didn’t rank high in Google search listings. Businesses are constantly striving to rank high in online searches, but unlike an eyewear retailer, being rude to your customers is not the way. Instead, try these inexpensive and simple techniques to generate higher results when searched.

• Keep your customers happy. This will elicit positive reviews and they may even be inspired to write about you on various social networks. Having your company discussed on these media sites will increase traffic and also enhance the exposure of your business.

• Your website should be simple to navigate so that anyone on your page can quickly find what they are looking for. Be sure to use common terminology that all can understand.

• Fill out your Place Page in the Google Local Business Center.This will increase search visibility for free and place your location on a map when searched.If you want to do this, head over to www.cmitsolutions.com/googleguide.

The screenshots above show the results when “technology 11566” is typed into Google. To test your placing, type your industry and zip code into the search engine to make sure that your company is on the map. Any reviews that are given are pulled from various sites and can’t be edited, which is why we remind to keep your customers happy.
