How Google Local Places can Transform your Business

In order to understand the significance of what Google Local Places can do for you, the words of a 19th Century children’s nursery rhyme serve admirably to understand the complex web that many local businesses find themselves in. The rhyme ‘Little Bo-Peep’ tells the tale of a little shepherd girl who loses her sheep and is unable to find them. The rhyme ends in the hope that they will come home to her if she just ‘leaves them alone’.

local businesses experience rapid growth during their period as a start-up. High quality, personalized service and quick turnaround times help them build a large customer base. Somewhere along the way, usually after the first two years, there is a period of calm before businesses begin to lose ‘their sheep’ – customers who could benefit from their services. A study of customer behavior indicates that most local businesses are unable to grow during or after the ‘doldrums’ phase because – like the rhyme goes – potential customers don’t know how to locate them. Google Local places your business listing on Google Maps and on Google’s search results to make information about your business and its location available to customers at their point of need. This ensures that:

• The precise location of your business is visible to a large customer base.
• The authenticity and legitimacy of your business is enhanced by its physical location.
•  Google Local can be to reach new customers along with other social channels.
• You don’t have to wait – like Little Bo-Peep did – for your customers to find you by chance.
