Forget adwords, try Google Local Business
« on: August 30, 2008, 03:40:31 pm »
Adwords cost money. Google Local Business goves you a free advert and even locates you on a map. They will link to your web site and give all your contact details.

It takes about two weeks for things to show up at a decent level.

I have two entries on this service. Try putting these into google and see how it comes up.

I come up high on both of these as Wally the Window Washer and Educoach

Of course, they also list competitors!!!!

Now, get yourself a google account and you can do all sorts of stuff to get more info onto your listing and a direct link to your own web site.

To find out the sort of stuff you can do have a look at the myhome.com entry and click "more"

Yes, no argument at all. I'm sure that adwords work; otherwise people wouldn't use them.

Maybe the title isn't right. It shouldn't be forget adwords. That DOES give the wrong impression, and I apologise. I repeat, I'm not knocking adwords or people that use them.

All I'm doing is pointing out that there is another way of getting high up on a Google search that doesn't cost anything but a bit of time and common sense.

No wally I wasn't knocking you - The truth is I have a whole host of keywords for adwords and had forgotten about the evesham ones so when i typed what you suggested I got a nice surprise! By coincidence I was searching around on google about a week and a half ago and noticed I had overlooked this very thing. I thought hang on I aint on this so I put in a listing!  So dont let me put you off posting about it as it's useful information and I am glad you have started a topic on it like I said it was just funny to see myself up there. Anyway wally Evesham, just down the road from me in Tewkesbury (We'll have to meet up sometime!) Anyway as I was saying to Squeeky earlier I might have a load of commercial work coming up, more than I can handle much more. Interested in subcontracting?
