Is Your Pet Business Listed in Yahoo Local and Google Maps?

Filed Under Pet Business Tips |

Google MapsI have many customers who say they found me online using the Yahoo yellow pages or on Google. I’m not really sure how I got onto these sites but I am very grateful. Today I went a step further and investigated how I could update my listing to make sure potential customers get more information about my pet sitting business.

The best part is that getting listed on Yahoo Local or Google Maps is FREE and can give you great exposure. I know I use Google maps every day to get to and from the places I need to go.

To add or update a basic listing on Yahoo Local click here

To add or update a listing on Google Maps click here

You will need a Google account for Google Maps but setting this up is easy and you can then access free gmail, Google Adsense and other Google services.

Both of these listings will let you add your contact info, display payment options, describe your services, and display your service area. Having a more detailed listing on these sites that your competitors will give you an advantage in attracting customer attention and getting them to click to your website for more information.

You can never get too much exposure to new customers so take the time to get these listings up and working for you.

If you have any other ideas for free listings please leave a comment and share with other pet business owners.
