Now is the time to sign up to Google Maps

If you haven't used the Local Business Center to add your company to Google Maps yet, you'd better pull your finger out!



It looks like Google is starting to add suggested businesses to Google Map search results under the name of 'Nearby place you might like...', as reported in a Google Maps blog.

We've already seen other business results have been slowly creeping into map pages, and have also seen an aggressive push from Google to encourage businesses to ad their details. We recently received a Google mailer ourselves (yes, offline promotion from Google!) pushing the very same thing.

Adding your business takes just a few minutes, and you can even add details on opening times, payment methods accepted etc.

But best of all it's free, so what are you waiting for! Sign up now
