Google Local

[imageworks-261290]

Good Afternoon all,

So I am trying to figure out the best way to optimize my Google Local ads. I know I can use Google Boost and it will behave like a ppc ad but I would like to find an organic way to optimize these listings.

Any help that you call can provide would be much appreciated.

Thank You!

You mean Google Places/Maps right? If so, much is about the reviews and mentions with them... least so the actual Google maps reviews and more so the third party review site ones.

cool, understood.  So what would be the best way to optimize?  Encourage users to post their experience on these venues and hope that Google picks them up?

Yes, exactly that

No worries... as a quick tip, Google some stuff, look at where the reviews originate in their places listing and then you'll know which sites to get reviews at
