Did you know you can claim a free listing on Google places for your business?
How often have you looked for something on a Google map and noticed those little red markers? Have you clicked on one? Bet you have. Well that could be your business that people are clicking on if they are in your area.
Basically if your business has a site that can be marked on a map, e.g. perhaps a shop, garage or boarding kennels, then you can have a free registration on Google places. Then whenever anyone is looking at maps in your area, your business will be marked up for them to click on.

So get started today and get yourself seen on those google maps.
