I was out an about this past weekend and since I had my HD camera on me I thought I’d shoot a quick video about how I was in the mood for some Croissants and Coffee.
It was early in the morning so I didn’t want to call and wake up friends for a recommendation – you know – good ‘ole Word of Mouth and secondly none of my friends live in my neighbourhood.
So I did the next best thing – Google Search…
I performed two searches:
- Best Croissants downtown Toronto
- Best Coffee downtown Toronto
Why? well first I didn’t want to travel too far and wanted to stay in the general vicinity of the Downtown Toronto Core. I could have opted to search by district e.g. best croissants Corktown and I would have considered it if the results returned were more than a 10 minute drive.
Filling out a Google Places listing is fairly straight forward but there are some techniques so that every entry is loaded for your prospective customer to find you.
An Optometrist optimized for Google Places
We performed one such Google Places optimization for a Optometrie in Charlesbourg, Quebec and now they are getting found for numerous keyword searches and beating larger competitors such as Iris which I think is a Franchise based operation.
So, Is your Google Places (Free) listing optimized? Or have you even claimed your Business Listing on Google Places???
