These search results are triggered when someone makes a location-based search such as “plumber Sydney”, “florist Gold Coast” etc. Google Places results are displayed on the first page with red “push pins” beside them. Very often, Places results are the first thing a prospective customer sees, therefore you get an inquiry.

SEO Web Logistics has been helping companies influence the power of the internet for many years. Before exploring more about our Google Maps Optimisation services, let’s first understand what exactly it is…
A Google My Business page is free to set up, but if you are competing against many other businesses in the same industry, you will need to optimise your Google My Business page in order to appear in the Google local search results. There are hundreds of “plumbers” for example, especially in city/suburban suburbs, but only a maximum of three of them have a spot on the front page. Are you one of them?
What rankings will I achieve?
Google My Business is a long term investment and it is important to recognise that some key phrases will be more competitive than others, so you can’t rank for a huge range, just a hand full of industry specific Google approved categories.
No responsible SEO company can guarantee rankings so don’t be scammed, be sure you do your homework…..Does your SEO company have ranking Google My Business listings for their own company and clients? If they offer the service, they need to prove it in “real time”.
What else do I need to know?
Not all SEO companies understand Google My Business, nor are they equipped to meet the requirements, so do your research first, if your internet marketing company cannot practice what they preach, then maybe it’s the wrong company to use.
Google My Business is critical for local search optimisation as listings are larger and higher than traditional organic results, as well as targeting your surrounding local market.
Traffic from Google My Business is free. However, with only 3 places available it is imperative to secure your position by employing an expert to optimise and link your places listing correctly.

Google uses a complex algorithm to decide what pages are most relevant to display in the Google My Business results. There are thousands of factors involved in getting your listing ranking, some of them are:
- The quality and quantity of your website’s inbound links. In plain English, it’s the reputation your website has compared to other sites on the Internet.
- The quality and quantity of your businesses citations. A citation is a mention of your businesses name and physical address on another website or directory, Yellow Pages for example.
- The number of reviews on your Google My Business page. Google is smart enough to pick up fake or spam reviews intended to artificially influence your Google My Business ranking, so don’t cheat!
- The quality and quantity of information on your Google My Business page. Google prefers pages to provide as much useful information as possible, and the listing needs to be 100% complete.
- Whether or not your images and video links that are placed on your listing are optimised
- Categories!! If not researched correctly your listing will not rank for your business keywords!
