Get Your Business Listed - Tip #2

This posting is a continuation in a series to assist business owners and organizations to receive additional online visibility to their website for FREE. This would be accomplished by enrolling or signing-up to a service through the web, which is usually a 10 to 15 minute process.

The first tip in the series recommended getting your business signed-up to Yahoo! Local. This specialized Yahoo search shows relevant products and services in the customer's local area.

Google Maps is a great way to get customers to find you on Google Maps, when they of course are using Google Search. This is another free sign-up that you can do for your business or organization.

Google Maps, like Yahoo! Local, is a free listing. Click here to learn more about the Google Local Business Center account. According to Google, you are able to do the following for a business or organization:

- Reach new customers on Google Maps and Google.com
- Works great for businesses of any size
- Update your listing at any time
- Catch their eye with printable coupons

The sign-up process will take about 15 minutes and at the end of the process Google will inform you of your listing by mailing you a notification to your physical address for confirmation. Google will take about 2 weeks to send you this notification.
