Places to +1 Local Transition Updates

It’s Aug.20, 2012 and Google is still in transition from their “Places” to Google+ Local listings

I know they are making things very confusing for local businesses right now, and they will still take more time to settle into their new system.

These questions arise all the time.

• After I verify my business, where do I edit it – the Places page, or in Google+ Local page?
• What do I do if I’m a service area type business and not storefront type?
• I was a service area business in Google places, but now I’m not visible in the new Google+ Local – what happened?
• I verified my business, but now I’m waiting – it’s been weeks and it’s still “pending”.

They’ve now finally posted some updates and a FAQ on this site.

If you received our guide for setting up Google local listings, then you need to keep in mind these updates and constant changes.  The core of setting it up Places is the same, it’s just after you’ve done it where it get’s trickier.

We service-area type businesses that go TO our customers are still left hanging in the transition.  It seems neither big govt. nor big Google still see the importance of our type of business in the economy.  We’re always the last ones or ignored.  Here in Surrey, BC – small home-based businesses make up over 40% of all businesses in Surrey (most of these are service type).  Many of these provide jobs or contract work to others.  Though small individually, collectively we make a huge contribution to the economy.

Come on, guys.  Treat us small service businesses like any other business and equally important!

So, currently, where you EDIT your business listing depends on how new it is, whether it’s brick & mortar, and whether it’s been verified or not.

Those of you who are my Google Places optimization service clients, please be patient as well – we cannot control Google and their many changes – we just have to keep up to date with them and adjust accordingly.

Surrey SEO company

Surrey has a new SEO company

Are you a small business in Surrey, BC that needs to get more customers?

Do you want to be where the traffic is – where most people are likely to find you?

Well, good news.  A new small business was registered in BC late 2011 called Found Online Solutions.

Found Online Solutions (FOS) exists for the “little guy”.  Many web marketing, website design, and search engine optimization companies in Surrey and greater Vancouver are suitable for larger companies that have a big marketing budget, but seem out of reach for small local businesses.  Many of the SEO packages offered by the other metro Vancouver SEO companies are really good, but include elements that would be paid for that are not necessary.  FOS likes to take the obscure offline business and get them online, and to the top of search engines for local search results.  We also consult for local marketing

It was started by Duane Palmer, a Surrey resident who graduated in Spring 2011 from BCIT with a Senior Management Certificate in New Media Design and Web Development.  Before that, he spent thousands of dollars and hours studying and experimenting with internet marketing, keyword research, and search engine optimization.  In his previous work with a non-profit, one role was to make an in-house private membership site and a project-specific website for finding volunteers and raising funds.  His specialty now is making custom lead-generating sites for small businesses that are well optimized for local search, and helping local businesses get listed and ranked well in Google Places for their main keywords.

Call Duane for a no-obligation consultation to briefly:

• review your business marketing goals
• choose your main local industry keywords “house painters surrey” or “surrey chiropractor”
• show you how many are searching for your type of industry
• determine the value of that traffic to your business
• review your online competition
• determine what it would take to get your business to page one of Google or other search engines
• give proven ideas to turn internet traffic into leads and customers with a marketing website
