If you’re at all unsure about how useful a professionally made Google Local Listing will benefit your business locally, why not take this simple test and see for yourself.

It only takes a minute and will show you exactly what’s going on in your business sector locally.

Here’s what to do.

Go to the Google homepage and search for your particular industry in your town or city.

Simply search for your type of business in your town

What do we mean?

If you’re a plumber in Maghull, try searching for ‘Plumbers in Maghull‘. If you’re a painter in Liverpool try the search ‘Painters in Liverpool‘, and if you are a physiotherapist in Ormskirk try ‘Physiotherapist Ormskirk‘.

Get the idea?

Use this search to find out exactly how tough your competition is and how many of your competitors’ businesses have already taken advantage of Google’s free local listing services to promote their company, in much the same way as Yellow Pages traditionally has, but on the internet and with zero recurring costs.
