Places listings not saving properly

2011-12-29T21:58:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone I manage quite a large number of local business Google Places Listings. One of the biggest problems I am having is that when develop the listings for the clients such as adding photos & video so as to maximise and get the best value it is not reflecting on the front end. I mean when we are saving the information we then look on the actual listing and try to view what has been saved then simply the images are not saved and also allot of information. Very frustrating as this will effect how the listing will rank or its one of the ingredients to the the recipe, Once i report the issue nothing seems to change it has on some occasions but the problem is with me anyway is that this information issue is happening more often than not. Seems like 80% of the listings lately seem to have one issue or another. On this SAVING issue i don't seem to have an answer. I hope they are just ironing out the bugs as we all know this is a huge venture which is really cool. GOOGLE PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE SOON.

Ad words Express

2011-12-10T19:40:00.001-08:00

What It Is

AdWords Express is the easiest way to advertise on Google. Creating your ad takes just a few minutes, and that's it. Everything else is managed automatically, ensuring your ad is only shown to people looking for what you have to offer. Now you're advertising to an audience that's already interested in you.

How It Works

When people search your area for the products or services you provide ("flowers in Dallas", or if they're already in Dallas, just "flowers") an ad for your business will appear above or beside their search results. Your business will also be marked with a distinctive blue pin on Google Maps, helping it stand out to potential customers.

Who It's For

AdWords Express is for local businesses looking for local customers. It's for business owners who want the benefits of a targeted online ad campaign, without having to spend time managing it.

If you are a small business or in fact any business in Perth or WA if you want to be competitive online then you need to develop your Google Places Listing.
WHY wait till all the big boys have developed theirs and be pushed way down and have to pay big bux to get on the first page. Google have turned the interface on its head and you need to take advantage of it. In Perth or WA we tend to wait too long on these types of things. You need to get in amongst it, only about 5% of business's world wide have developed their Google Places listings this is insane. I have been working with small business in Western Australia for 5 years now and have seen allot of changes so now is the time to have a crack at the top positions.

Google Places has some fantastic features , for example as opposed to the old style organic listings the telephone number is very prominent also your clients can leave reviews or testimonial's in aussie language.
Most importantly you are mobile fused this means that the higher ranked you are are on the web then generally the higher ranked you are on mobile searches.
This is big

The mobile is really the future and there are some encouraging statistics when it comes to mobile Phones for goods and services. For expample 33% of people with smart phones have purchased something online. 97% of people will open an SMS. This is great for SMS marketing campaigns.
