How to Show Up on Google’s Search Engine Even if You Don’t Have a Website?

Dave — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 03:12:05 +0000

Did you know you can appear on Google's search engine even if you don't have a website?

Well you can and it's FREE too!

Google's Local business center is a very inexpensive solution for getting your lawn care business to appear on geographic-based searches..

What's the catch with Google maps

First of all Google cant guarantee how your listing is ranked (whether you'll be the first or the last) and, understandably, your listing will appear only* when people in your geographic area are using Google; it won’t show up when someone in a neighboring city does a search for the same keyword (i.e "San Jose landscaping" vs "Los Gatos landscaping" ).

Why?

First of all because Google Maps business listings are generated and ranked entirely by mathematical algorithms (to target specific geographic regions and geographic-based searches) - hence, they can’t guarantee how the natural listings show, and the search results can constantly change. Needless to say, if you have ten cities all right next to each other and you want to show up on these searches, you wont, not unless you get a real website!
