Can You Be Found? Google Places Wants YOU!
Even though we are home based businesses – we still want people to find us. We may conduct our business at the local coffee shop or via the Internet or at our customer's office – but we still want to be associated with a spot on the map.
Google Places gives you that opportunity for free. Register your business by signing into your Google account and then visiting Google Places to add a company.
Long ago I registered my business with a number of online business directories including Yellow Pages.com but I never signed up for Google Places. Until last Friday.
The application starts with the basics: name, address, phone, website link.
But then you get to add some cool stuff:
- key word description
- up to 10 photos
- up to 5 videos
- assign your business to a number of categories
Just one more way to put the word out about your business on the Internet. Although we work from home – we still need to be visible to our prospects. Check out Google Places and sign up today.
