In a story published today, Matt Cutts discussed why good directions and other improvements can help get your website noticed by Google.
Most of Cutts’ tips involve issues discussed regularly here, such as the importance of keywords and tags, but he shed light on another important tool: good directions.
Google’s Local Business center (google.com/local/add) is the place for business owners to submit a site so it shows up in local searches, with a map attached. Savvy consumers who use Google for searches know that the first 10 non-advertising results often are from Google Maps, so if you have a business and haven’t submitted it, you’re losing out on potential customers.
You can sign up and put your information in for free at www.google.com/local/add and use this helpful tip to boost your visibility.
