The Basics of Getting a business listed on Google

If not listed yet, start a free account on Bing and Yahoo local directories

Build out more free directories. Yelp, Local.com, yellowpages, Manta, CitySearch, Superpages and more!

Next Create a “Places” account - Choose a relevant category - Don’t “keyword stuff” the description - Use EXACT same company name, address and phone (NAP) on each - Compete each listing fully - Include OPTIMIZED photos & videos plus special offers etc. - Service Area – Only show your clients address if customers visit them - Optimized Websites are a good touch, NAP in footer (With XML & KML File) - http://www.geositemapgenerator.com/ or - http://www.freemaptools.com/kml-file-creator.htm
