August 3rd, 2010 Newsletter

Hopefully everyone is enjoying the reasonably nice weather that we are finally getting. It has been a while since we published a newsletter (things seem to continue to be steady despite the time of year) and I felt it was time to get back to helping our clients better promote and utilize the websites that they have with us.

This newsletter will touch on the following topics:

• Google Location Listings

Google Location Listings

If you have done a search on Google in the past while, you will have probably noticed that Google has been hard at work on integrating their Places service into the regular search engine listings. What does this mean? Well, if you have done a search lately with a city or town name in it - like say - Lethbridge movie theaters, in the first few listings you would see a map with marked locations like this:

This is an excellent way to come up very highly in local searches for your business and the type of services that you offer. How do you get listed? It is actually quite an easy process.

You start by heading over to Googles Places site - http://www.google.com/local/add/businessCenter. If you don't have a Google Account already, you can sign-up for one.

For more information on what Google Places can do for you and your business, take a look at this YouTube video:

Client Spotlight

We have been working with a local shop that specializes in some of the most amazing Peruvian and Persian Travertine Tile that I have ever seen in my life. The company is Purveyors of Fine Stone and we think that they are definitely worth taking a look at if you are renovating or looking to build in the near future.

We hope this mailing was helpful. If you found it useful, forward it to a friend. If you didn't, drop us a note and let us know how we can better answer your questions and meet your needs by using our contact form.
