My Company is offering claiming your business's Google Places page. This is strictly for brick-and-mortor companies (you have to have an actual business address). We were offering this for $50 application fee but not any more. PM me if you are interested. Also, post here what you think this service should be priced at. I want to give the company feedback/suggestions.
I think there are people interested in local SEO services in this forum. However, you seem not to be offering quite that. Claiming a Google Places listing takes about 10 minutes and does not require any special skills or knowledge other than copy+pasting. Local SEO is a completely different story.
you are correct. This was just for claiming the page for people, for businesses that don't have time. We do a lot more, this is just the 'beginning.' Optimizing a google places page is 100% different and takes a lot of work and time. We do that as well. We are local SEO experts. We guarantee our results.
