Ok, so you know that it's important to appear on the first page of Google search results, and you know that search engine optimization is the way to get there. But have you addressed Google Maps?
If your business services lots of customers in a local area, then you need to look at local optimization of your website. One way to do this is to claim your spot on Google's map listings.

When someone does a search, Google often uses your IP address to provide you with a list of local business results, right there on page 1 - what a great way to get in front of your potential customers!
Do it in 3 easy steps:
