Help customers find you on Google Maps

If you're like me, you don't often leave the house or office to travel to a completely new destination without at least checking a map first for general directions, many of us now a days use an online Mapping service, whether it's MSN, Yahoo ro Google Maps the features are all more or less the same, but recently while searching google maps I came across one unique feature that set it apart from others, The ability to add your business to google maps!



Just one more (free!) way for customers to find you on the internet, Google maps provides this service at no charge, check it out for yourself, go to maps.google.com and lookup "The Technology Coach" not only will you see my location but you'll also get a breif description and "rating" of my business and even a space for customers to write reviews!



Here's how it works:

Millions of people search Google Maps every day. A free listing on Google Maps makes it easy for them to find you.

Use the Local Business Center to create your free listing. When potential customers search Maps for local information, they'll find your business: your address, hours of operation, even photos of your storefront or products. It's easy, free, and you don't need a website of your own.

Whether you run a single dentist's office or dozens of coffee shops, manage all your listings from a single account.

Update your listing at any time

Use the Local Business Center to edit your listing whenever and however you like. Your Google Maps results will be updated in a few weeks, not next year.
