Default Get free advertising on Google
Did you know you can get free advertising on Google using Google Maps or Google Local. It's easy to set up your account and you should provide as much information as possible.

Just login in to your Google account and look for Local Business Center under My Products. Click on Add New Listing and fill out the information. It takes about one day for the results to appear. A nifty, easy, and free way to get on page one for your keywords in a local search.

I agree, this is a great feature. I've used it for ages.

Shari,

Thanks for posting this here. I saw a blog about it awhile back and went to sign up for it, but it requires that you put your address in. Since I work from my home and don't really want that address in a Google directory I wasn't able to sign up for the service. When I get a P.O. Box I'll be able to do this. It looks like it's a fantastic service though!

Try just putting in your street name or a major nearby street and see what happens.

I just entered my street name but no number. It worked fine. Try it without your street number and see what happens.

That's really interesting because I tried that before and it wouldn't work. Maybe they have changed it for all us work at home types! I'll give it a try again. Thank you!

For some reason "Local Business Center" is not under my Products. I'll have to investigate this more.
