Hey everyone! I'm a brand spankin' new member on DF. You might know me from warrior forum, but even if you don't... just say hi! I promise I don't bite. I've got a question for the group: Does anyone use google maps to successfully generate business?
I've never heard of anyone using Google Maps, unless you have a brick and mortar business. But hey, if you have a tip, feel free to share it!
Are you kidding me? You can't use a Google maps to generate business. That's ridiculous. This is the wrong section for a greeting, I'm guessing?
Yes, brick and mortar business is correct. Where can I find search volume for those that would see my ad on google maps (those that are within the vicinity)?
I'm not sure if your serious. A person looks for a local mexiacan restaurant on their iPhone. You pop up on google maps. Your in business. I'm just going to assume that, being on this forum, you understand how important it is to be found on search engines. Thanks for the humor, though. I might be in the wrong section for greetings, but I think I am in the right section for asking about SEM.
I should probably read this over before I post it, I only had time to give a quick glance. http://blog.searchanyway.com/2007/08/how_google_maps_can_effect_seo.html no idea who those folks are really. He did however paste a range of snips from folks addressing your question if you will. I think it will shed some preemptive insight into your question. Its a good one. Don't sweat these folks And welcome to DP... You did miss the introductions forum at the bottom of the page but I am sure the mods will let you slide as there is a pending SEO question involved. hope that helps, Nigel
