What Happens Now?

• By purchasing one of our Google Places Packages you set in motion a series of events which place your business firmly on the journey to page 1 of Google!
• First we will send you a form which needs to be completed by you for us to get started on creating your optimised listing. You will need to provide basic information regarding your business including address, email, phone etc and any other information you believe is relevant. Don’t worry we have made this process very clear and extremely painless
• We will then proceed to create your listing, validate your account and start producing your videos.
• Once we have fully completed your profile we will then begin the process of submitting citations to the listing.
• Finally, depending on the package you purchase we will submit reviews for your business on your behalf*
• You will always have full access to your account so you can view your monthly report which outlines how many impressions and clicks your listing has received over the preceding month

There are several things which need to be done in order to get the most out of your Google Places Business listing so why not let the professionals handle it for you.

• 100% completion – Very important to fully complete your profile including correct business information, areas serviced, hours of operation and methods of payment accepted. We also cherry pick keywords for your listing to maximize traffic to your business.
• Optimised content – You should add 5 professionally optimised videos and 10 correctly formatted images in addition to written content which describes your services accurately but does not include “keyword stuffing” . By doing this you will remain fully compliant with Google Places listing guidelines
• Categories – Must be relevant, descriptive and most of all properly market analysed with keyword tools.
• Citations – Completing the profile correctly is only half the job. In order to build trust with Google, your listing should be validated in as many high authority directories as possible. Citations can take anywhere from a day to several months to be approved so please be patient. We submit citations to directories which are constantly monitored to ensure quality.
• Reviews – Encouraging your customers to review your services which further convince Google of the credentials of your business

Tips

1. Use a fixed address as opposed to a PO box and make sure you are trying to attract customers from that area
2. Better if you have an established email address eg. info@mybusiness.com.au instead of jim@hotmail.com
3. A fixed land telephone line is preferred
4. Allow some time to set up your profile. Google will send a post card to the address you have specified in order to validate it
5. Citations work for Google Places listings in the same way that backlinks work for organic SEO. In other words the more relevant citations you can get from high authority directories, the higher your listing will rank in Google places.
6. Reviews offer legitimacy to your Google places listing – again the more the better. Please note reviews are provided by the business owner.
7. Upload up to 5 videos all completely unique, geo-targeted and optimized and added to your listing and your YouTube channel
8. If your business has no local bricks and mortar existence, we can include a local address and phone number for an additional fee.
9. Add 10 images fully optimised to your Google Places Business listing
