Google Places, former Google’s Local Business Center, is quite simply, the best local search engine optimization for local businesses.  You simply claim your spot in Google Places and build the listing correctly and you can appear on the top of the first page of Google for your chosen keywords.

These keywords tend to be city modified.  So, when someone is searching for “Anaheim Restaurants” they will find restaurants near Disneyland.  Here’s an example for “Mission Viejo Dentists:

As you can see, seven listings appear.  If the sites are “claimed” then when the visitor clicks on them, they are taken directly to the dentist’s website.  If not, they are taken to a Google page with information about the dentist scraped from the web.

You definitely want to claim your listing!  One thing Google scrapes is reviews.  Sometimes these reviews are less than positive.  Why waste a page one listing on Google with bad feedback about your establishment?

You’ll notice that there are only seven listings.  Surely there are more than seven dentists in Mission Viejo, CA?  Actually, Google lists 1610 results.  So, how do you get to the top 7?

1.) Claim your profile

2.) Completely fill out your profile including adding 10 photos and video.
