Local customers already search Google for the products and services you offer. By creating a free business listing with Google Places, you can help them find your business more easily.
Adding a tag to your Google Places listing allows you to highlight info that you want your customers to see.
This new option can help your business stand out among the competition by showing additional information about your products or services on Google.com and Google Maps.
For example, your tag can highlight a coupon for new customers, a video about your store, or even a link to your menu. You decide what's most important about your business and make sure it stands out.
Although, Google Tags do not affect the rank of your listing, it is a great way to show important information that a customer may be looking for in your business.
Google Plans to add this feature to mobile searches in the future, so small business owners should take advantage now before the market changes.
For a limited time Google is offering 30 days of free advertising to local business, afterwards the price will cost $25/month.
