Weekend Projects - Google Maps
Posted on May 10th, 2008
Last week we focused on securing folders and using various methods to do that. This week we will focus on adding our business and website to Google Maps. Google Maps has a way to search for local businesses in your area. The idea is similar to a yellow pages online making it easier to find businesses in and around where you live. The more businesses that are added to Google Maps the more useful Google Maps will become.
To get started you need to sign-up for a Google Account. Once your Google account is setup you can add your business and site to Google Maps. The process takes about 10 minutes to complete. Be sure to fill in as much detail as possible.
Once you are done a postcard from Google will be sent by mail. This can take anywhere from 6 or more weeks. In the postcard you will be provided a link to visit and validate your listing. It is important to do this so your business is added to Google Maps.
If you get stuck let me know in the comments.
