Are you using Google Maps?

By billy sticker • Apr 24th, 2008 • Category: Internet Marketing

I discovered a VERY valuable tip today. If you search “Chiropractor [yourtownhere]” a list of DC’s appears next to a map. So I did a little research.

If you go to www.google.com/local/add (you first have to have a free google account) you can add/update your buisness info. This is what is used next to the maps.

But it gets better…You can write a discription about your business, what you treat, office hours, forms of payments you accept, you can even upload your photo and…you can upload up to 5 youtube videos! All for FREE! But wait…That’s not all…You can also add a personalized COUPON to your listing! For FREE!

You have to go check this out. If you have any questions, let me know.

    Hey Billy,
    Great post. I found google maps about 5 months ago and registered right away.
    I just started a blog on chiropractic marketing and would love to talk with you. Email me.

    Quick update: I had a new patient the other day come in. She said she found me on her GPS system. I did some research online, and found that a lot of GPS systems use google maps.

    This is a great tip Billy. I signed up my chiropractor in Google Local and set her up with a WordPress website. She is getting several new customers every month from Google.

    More people are using Google instead of the print Yellow Pages, and Google now includes local businesses in the results if you register your business and claim your profile. I’ve published some tips on how to set this up at http://expand2web.com/quickstart.

    p.s. Here’s another hint - people search using the word “chiropractic” 2x as many times as they use “chiropractor”
