Google Map Optimization

Believe it or not, I actually received a call from Google (YES it was Google, I called the number back).
Reason for their call is CMT is a Favorite Place in their local search so we were asked if we would like to participate in their Beta version of Google Maps.

Basically your local listing is a featured listing, whereby, when a visitor passes over your listing it can show a screen shot of your URL, or a video, a promotion, coupon or article will pop up.It becomes very interactive and rather than a red pin you have a yellow one, so far so good, right! It costs $25.00 per month, no contract and from my early research it can enhance your position in local searches. You can build your listing with local keywords then get listed in local directories (name of city)+directory. Build up citations, citations are reference points that can be built through sites like Yelp, City Search, Bing Local, Local.com to name a few. So here you are with an enhanced local search tool that has mobile capabilities.

Local search is smart, we're still examining the possibilites with the maps feature and will keep you posted  here is the link: google local business center
