For those of you who want to attract local customers, sign up for your free Google Places Account if you haven’t done so already. Google Places integrates with Google Maps to deliver local listing results to users looking for businesses in a particular area. There is even a Google Maps mobile phone app that works just like a GPS, detecting the user’s location and providing directions as well as a map to the Google Places account listing selected.

To attract advertisers and improve conversion results for account holders, Google has added an additional tool that is free for a limited 30 day trial period. Once your Google Places Account is active you will be able to associate tags, which are either images or keywords and phrases you use to highlight coupons, customer reviews, or other information that will help customers to choose you. The tag appears on Google Search and Google Maps as an eye-catching yellow tag. The tags are meant to highlight your visibility online and attract more customers. Once the free trial period has ended after 30 days, you can elect to continue using them for a flat fee of only $25 a month.

Cheers to Google for integrating this indispensible tool! As a matter of fact, we believe in the value of tags so much they are the basis of our industrial search engine Industrial Web Search. Check out these posts for information for sellers and buyers: Industrial Sellers Finding Success with Industrial Web Search and Why Industrial Sourcing Professionals Should Start with Industrial Web Search.  You will learn how as an industrial seller you get 100% control to manage how you attract your targeted buyer groups by being able to add, edit and swap out your tags, which in this case are keywords and phrases you know to be used by your targeted audience groups to search for what you offer, at any time 24/7/365. And industrial buyers and sourcing professionals benefit from 100% accurate results based on exact matches being made between the terms you used to search and those used by our member sellers to tag their products and services.
