If you are a small business owner serving a specific geographical area, your first priority when it comes to the category of internet marketing for small business is to make sure that you are getting the most value out of your FREE Google Place Page, and the video or videos that you can upload to your Google Place Page listing.

These are powerful marketing tools that can bring new customers and clients into your business and the best part is that they are FREE!

Every small business owner should know by now that most people who are searching for information about a business in their local area will now use the internet to find that information – unlike the past, when the Yellow Pages was the dominant player in local search marketing.

Today, the internet rules, and Google still rules the internet.

So, once again, if you are a small business owner and you want to be found by people in your local market who do not know about your business but are looking for the products and services that you have to offer, your first priority is to make sure that your Place Page in Google has been verified and completed, so that it appears in the page 1 listings in Google universal search and in Google Maps searches.

Your Google Place Page is FREE!

A Google Place Page is a FREE page on the internet that Google has created for your business -yes, it’s FREE – you don’t pay to create it or to host it. All you have to do is verify and complete it, and it will market your business to prospective customers and clients in your area for you – 24/7.

That is why internet marketing for small business BEGINS with your Google Place Page – period! It is more important than your website -especially if you are a new business and are strapped for cash.

If you don’t know how to verify and complete your Google Place Page, Local Search for Local Success can do it for you for a couple of hundred bucks, and you will reap the benefits indefinitely.

Your Google Place Page is the best internet marketing for small business opportunity you will EVER see.

A Google Place Page allows you to upload up to 5 videos – even if you only have 1 video – you can upload it to your Google Place Page, and it will help your Place Page rise in the Place Page rankings.

Then, you can take that same video, keyword-optimize it in YouTube, and it will also rank in the Google listings.

To see how this works, watch the video below:

The Power of Video for Marketing a Small Business Online

As the above video demonstrates, including a video in your Google Place Page increases the ranking of your Place Page in Google’s universal search, and in Google Maps searches, and your video also appears in the Video searches in your niche as well.

That’s a lot of value from one video.

Plus, you can embed your video on your own website, and also in a video email format – but I will talk about that in another blog post.

In this blog post, I am focusing specifically on the power of video to enhance your Google Place Page ranking in universal search and Google Maps, and to achieve its own independent ranking in both Google universal search and in a Google Videos search.

All of that marketing power from one video – and it’s all FREE!

Except for the video production, which is included in the couple of hundred bucks we charge at Local Search for Local Success to set up your Google account, and to verify and complete your Google Place Page, if you haven’t done so already.

Again, I cannot state this emphatically enough – if you are a small business owner, your Google Place Page is the best marketing opportunity you will get – EVER – because it is FREE!

Internet marketing for small business BEGINS with your Google Place Page.
