A blip of a video that explains how Google Places can now create a ‘service area’ for your business – you can define your service reach by region or radius from your business location. This is great for 2 reasons:
- If you run your business from a private location (like from your home) and don’t want to give out your address.
- If your location does not define your service area.
All in all, local search marketing is becoming the most powerful of social marketing systems we have seen, to date; everyone needs advice on local services, sometimes. Making sure that you can be found on Google Places is a great place to start.
