Hi Friend,
It goes without saying that business has been tough and often an uphill battle for the local merchant in this down economy. Virtually every business owner is in constant need of more targeted visibility, more brand recognition, more traffic, more leads and ultimately more customers or clients!
I recently was talking with a local business owner in my area who told me that up until two years ago, his cabinet-making and renovation business was fully booked 6 months in advance! He went on to say that in the last year, his business has become a "week-to-week" operation, and he is uncertain of how much work he will have in any given month. This story is a rather familiar one that continues to repeat itself in every community, in every city around the globe!
With a slow economy, coupled with diminishing returns on traditional and often costly marketing avenues including newspaper, magazine, and catalog ads, television, radio and direct mail, businesses are looking for more successful and cost-effective alternatives to promote their products and services.
So naturally, the average local brick and mortar business owner is turning their attention online, but many still lack the knowledge, skills and time to develop the right online strategy to boost their offline visibility and traffic and grab a competitive edge.
Well, I believe that the local business owner today has been presented with "gift" that if used appropriately could have a profound impact on their traffic and results in 2012 and beyond!
This gift is "Google Places"! (And a few other key location-specific directories, social networks and review sites)
Now, Google Places has been around a while and was formerly known as the Google "Local Business Center". But at the end of October 2010, Google made a significant change to their Places tool that presented a "game-changing" opportunity for the local business owner!
Check out the below screenshot of the new Google Maps layout in the search listings. Make note of the new enhanced business listings on the coveted first page of Google with the easy access Google Map to the right of the page.
Talk about prominent first page visibility in Google: "The Yellow Pages of the 21st Century"!
But, here's the harsh reality.... Of the millions of Google Places pages out there, only 2% of business owners have actually claimed their page. The reality is that most either don't know it exists OR are not certain how to exactly make this work well for their business!
As a result, here lies an amazing, in-demand and highly profitable service to offer to virtually any local brick and mortar business in your neck of the woods....
I am so excited about this income-building opportunity for your business that I felt compelled to deliver a valuable and practical live clinic that will give you the tools, skills and system for helping local business clients ignite their search listings and visibility with Google Places as well as a few other key location-based social networks and directories.
This program is designed to help you officially bring your local business clients into the 21st century!

| "I am new to the internet marketing scene and have thoroughly enjoyed the VAClassroom courses. After many boring university lectures it was a breath of fresh air to finally do a course that was thorough, precise, clear and interesting! With the use of both verbal language and visual presentations, the course was easy to follow and extremely helpful in understanding the course material. Without this great course I would not have known what to do or where to turn! Thank you VAClassroom." |
