19th August 2013 by Alan Leave a Comment

Google have been busy integrating their products and moving everything towards Social Media. For Google, this means Google+.  A while back you could get your business onto Google Maps as a map pin, via their Google Places, but now you should use Google+Local.

  1. Creating a Google+Local page for your business is fairly straight forward
  2. If you haven’y got one yet, get a google account https://accounts.google.com/SignUp   (if you have a gmail account you are ready)
  3. Then join Google+ https://plus.google.com/up/accounts/upgrade/
  4. Under the ‘Home’ button menu, top left, you will find ‘Pages’, click on that
  5. On the right you will see ‘Create a Page’, click
  6. Select ‘Local Business or Place’ and start filling in as much detail as you can in the sections provided, address, website, categories, opening hours etc
  7. At some point you will need to verify you own this business, this is either b a call to your business phone line, or a registration card through the post
  8. Once activated, you are ‘live’

Having a Google+Local page for your business is a key aspect to local SEO.  A properly formatted and approved entry will appear in searches where a local map is appropriate.
