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.

*Simply 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? Simple. If you’re a plumber in Manchester, try searching for ‘Plumbers in Manchester‘. If you’re a painter in Liverpool try the search ‘Painters in Liverpool‘, and if you own a shoe shop in Preston try ‘Shoe Shops in Preston‘.

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.
