Get Listed on Google Maps

It was called Google Places but now the Google Maps listings are called Google My Business.

At Codefixer we encourage all our clients to get on the map, to be found by those local searchers. A Google My Business listing in combination with Google Organic listings and Google Adwords will boost your page rankings.

Though Google set out with the intention of making Google My Business simple, it has been dogged by a number of issues that make it beyond the expertise of most.

Codefixer can

• Help you set up and verify your listing on Google My Business
• Help you optimise your listing
• Help you with duplicate listings, ensuring you show up in the Google My Business listings while avoiding local penalties

Another research finding stated that

“One in three searches on smartphone occur right before consumers visit a store”.

In addition the majority of store visits following a local search happen within a 5 mile radius of the user’s location. The evidence is clear that “search with local intent” could represent a significant boost to your business. Now’s the time to put your business on the map.
