Google Places gets your business found on local search results on both Google Search and Google Maps and can greatly improve your search engine optimization.

Why Google Places?

1) You gain more visibility.
2) You attract more traffic.
3) You can level the playing field.
4) It’s free.

Google says…

"Millions of people search Google Maps every day. A free listing on Google Maps makes it easy for them to find you. Use Google Places to create your free listing. When potential customers search Maps for local information, they'll find your business: your address, hours of operation, even photos of your storefront or products. It's easy, free, and you don't need a website of your own."

Thanks to your IP address and the advanced search algorithms, Google already knows where you are located. In our case, it’s Smithers, BC. So even though we didn’t specify a location in our search term, the very first results Google returned are from websites located in the same area. This is the power of Google Places. Therefore, people located nearby are likely going to gravitate toward your business because it’s convenient, easy and on the front page of Google.

A google account is required to sign up. With your google account you can edit your listing.
