As we recently reported, Google Places and Google + have merged and this is a pretty important jumpstart tip for small business owners as these recent changes have impacted many establishment and business listings. It warrants a quick check and maybe a housekeeping update too.
So before the long weekend really gets started (or maybe you can use some Labor Day down time to catch up on your social marketing) it makes sense to update your Google account and check your business listing.
Here’s three key points that you should do now:
– Upgrade your Google Account to Google Plus. This will make it much easier to manage your business listing today and in the future.
– Check your dashboard in Places and view the link “See Your Listing in Google Maps” and make sure it is still correct.
– Sign up for notifications on additional upcoming changes to Google Places and Plus.
More detailed information on Google Plus and Places can be found here too. So get started today and make sure your business is looking good on Google.
