Google maps merchandising is one way to make money fast in your local market. However, Google maps merchandising is challenging and calls for ever changing plans to be always ahead of the competition. Here are a few advise that should help you get higher ranking in Google maps.

 

1. Don't stuff titles only with keywords

 

Quality Guidelines of Google was published in the LBC (or LocalBusinessCenter) recently. It said that the official name of your company, rather than 'merely' the keywords (or cities), should be in the title. Your rank will be positively affected if the name of your company includes the name of the city along with the keywords (relating to the business targeted). Google hates spammy titles.

 

2. Using a local phone number would be better

 

If you use toll free numbers, there is a possibility that you will be penalized. So it is advisable to register a local number. This gets even better if you use the same number you have registered with the agency you had filed your DBA with. To be sure, Google several verification of information with different sources. You need to consider the sources fed by the concerned county records offices which do verifications of your official or certified contact information, address or contact number. When all of your records (of local listing) have tallied what Google cross referenced in those credible sources, this means you've managed to score favorable points regarding the validation area of the listing.

 

3. Create a complete listing

 

When you've input listing into Google's LocalBusinessCenter, make sure you've included as much detailed info as you can. Photos, videos, duration of operation, and any other extra details could be included or might not be included in the listing. After you have created your listing, you may choose to view the real time % of completion if you gaze at the upper right of the LocalBusinessCenter page. But don't get frustrated if you've got anything lower than 100%. Your job would be to head back to your listing and keep adding more content till you've got an excellent quality listing that includes lots of informative photos, along with details.

 

Google maps marketing can be called an art that you have to learn by thorough research and educating yourself bit by bit. However, if you do so, you will put yourself in a position to make money fast, and continue to make money in the future.
