Local business search on Google has definitely changed the range in customers for a business owner. Now with the use of 'Google Tags', it will definitely increase the chances the customer will click the ad and see what and how the offer is going to be an advantage for him/her.

How to create a Google Tag?

In your Google Places account (if you are a new user, create one for your business), the Dashboard has an option to 'Create Tag'. Add your tag and choose what to highlight, which can be;

  • Posts from your business (It works!)
  • Coupons from your business
  • Photos from your business
  • Videos from your business
  • Link to your website
  • Your menu
  • Reservations from your business

The account also provides you data on the number of clicks received for the tag through Google.com, Google Maps or Mobile. In most cased your tag will be listed in the search results within hours of your addition.

Tags are going to be an effective advertising strategy to bring in more customers in an affordable and controlled budget. There is no contract, which means you can cancel the service anytime you want. An additional offer for your customer will make them happy and loyal. So go and get tagged!

It's a competitive market. Contact us to learn how you can stand out from the crowd.

    Neat work from Google. Looking at the way Google is going it seems they are bringing in something new almost every time. I am sure this service will be most used by many local businesses. More like what we are doing in Adwords.
