rnn 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Here is how you can get more exposure for your business for free. It will just take the time to fill out a few forms. Every little thing you do to increase exposure helps. You will want to get your business listed on Google Maps & the INFOUsa Database. Google Maps When you list it on Google Maps anyone searching for your business (which you will be able to put keywords to help people find you) your business will pop up on the search results on the top. http://www.google.com/local/add INFOUsa The INFOUsa Database is great because it will feed to Yahoo! and 95% of GPS devices, all OnStar systems and tons of Yellowpage websites as well as any other website that will purchase the database feed from INFOUsa. http://dbupdate.infousa.com/dbupdate/yahoo1.jsp Combine these 2 and you will be able to increase the exposure of your business. All of this is free to do, but there are companies that charge for this , but all they are doing is putting your information into a form (as you see). If anyone has any questions about this just ask.

rnn 0 Posted January 28, 2010 This still works for 2010, and now there is way more people searching online looking for "local" businesses. This is a great way to increase your visibility and get some more business. Search Engine Land has a great post about local search and how it will grow this year : http://searchengineland.com/predictions-for-the-changing-local-search-landscape-in-2010-31547 And for details on Google local and how great it can be, you should check out the following blog, which has fantastic information : http://blumenthals.com/blog/ Have a GREAT 2010 everyone !
