Customize Your Google Local Business Listing to Stay Ahead of the Competition

When Google and Google Maps users click to learn more about your business listing, they'll now see a new layout, with new information that will make it easier for them to learn about your business.

This new feature is called Place Pages for Google Maps, and it allows people to view your basic business information, ratings, reviews, related maps, nearby transit and even a look at your business on Street View in Google Maps - all in one snap-shot view. Previously, users had to click through several tabs to get a good overview about your business.

With this enhanced page feature, you can expect more potential customers to be viewing these pages, so it's especially important to make sure that your basic information is accurate. Make sure you you have added enhanced content like coupons, photos, images, hours -- and it's free to do all of this. View the short video below to give you a closer look at what this means to your business.

To make sure your business' Place Page looks as good as it can, update your content in your account at www.google.com/lbc
