Google Places -- Must Have for Small Business

Last week, Google announced the creation (actually an enhancement) of Google Places.  You can read about the details on the Google Blog (googleblog.blogspot.com
introducing-google-places).

Google Places is a must have for small businesses and best of all, it's free.  Here are the highlights:
  • Include photos of your location
  • Select or "claim" your service area
  • Coupons to promote special offers
  • Real-time updates
  • Describe your unique proposition/ what makes your business special
  • Track your progress with a personalized dashboard
  • Custom QR Code for your location to print on your business cards
More later on this exciting new Google development.  Go to Google places and look for the Johnson-Woodford Company.
