Last week, our team at Outrank.com found that Google revamped its Local Business Center and renamed it Google Places. This change reflects the connection between local businesses and the Places pages that users are directed to upon clicking for more info on a business marker on Google Maps. Google Places allows us to add and optimize information about your goods and services so that local consumers can find you.
Here at Outrank, we are really excited about this change. We’re committed to getting you ranked on the front page of one of the search engines in 60 days or less, and Google Places is an excellent opportunity to create trust with your potential customers and reach out to them. While organic rankings are still incredibly valuable, local Maps results allow users to connect on a personal level with your business. If you have reviews, coupons, or any additional information that users might be interested in, this can all be linked to and viewed on your Google Places page.
