I read recently that google launched a phone number 1800-goog-411 where you can call in and get search results over the phone for local stores. I was just wondering if I have to submit my store for this service or does google do a search on the web and provide the best search results?
I am not sure but I think you have to submit your store here: https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?continue=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Flocal%2Fadd%2FbusinessCenter%3Fgl%3DUS%26hl%3Den-US&service=lbc&hl=en-US&gl=US After you have done that they will integrate it with the service you can read about it here: http://labs.google.com/goog411/about.html I think these two services just work together because I found this in the FAQ of the second URL: I also think the extra call option is free and the free listing at https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?continue=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Flocal%2Fadd%2FbusinessCenter%3Fgl%3DUS%26hl%3Den-US&service=lbc&hl=en-US&gl=US too. If you have any specific questions you can't find in their FAQ's you can always take contact with labs+goog411@google.com . Sorry but live links aren't available for me yet.
