How many of your current customers are carrying an iPhone? Have prospective customers been searching for the products/services you offer with their iPhones? Has your lack of Google Places optimization cost you business?
Some of my readers would answer is “I don’t know”. But if that’s your answer, than the next question has to be “why not?”
Google Places Optimization is Inexpensive
The data is available. And Google Places optimization is very inexpensive; especially compared to losing sales from not being found by people searching for the things you sell on their iPhone.
You see, Google just upgraded their Google Places app for the iPhone and it affects what people see when they search on their mobile phone. One thing is expanded focus on YOUR reviews. How many of those have you collected? Do you have ‘bad’ reviews that you’ve not even responded to?
Eweek.com wrote about the changes with the Google Places iPhone app recently and its worth the two minutes it’ll take you to read it for yourself.
According to the article “Google just acquired Zagat to beef up restaurant reviews for Places, which pairs local business information, such as address, telephone numbers, hours of operation and reviews with the concern’s location on Google Maps.”
If your business is not found on Google Places, or the information they share about your business with searchers is incomplete or missing, chances are you are missing too. Missing out on new customers that you otherwise could have.
