Google Places and Hotel Finder

[janders]

I work with a few hotels in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Google Places has not launched in these regions so it has been impossible for me to start an account and get my properties listed in hotel finder.

Somehow my competition has managed to get one of their properties listed and it's killing me! Does anyone know of any way to speed up the process? I'm very involved with Google+, FB, Twitter, Pinterest but G Places and Hotel finder or Google Maps don't want to pick me up.

Any ideas?

Thanks Mozzers.

Can you send over a screenshot of your competitor's listing as it appears on Google.

Hi James,

This is Google's reply:

Google Places for Business are not available in my country. How do I add my listing?

You can create a local Google+ page for your business and verify it by post. Local pages include a map of the business’s location and feature its address, phone number, and hours of operation. Local pages also share the functionality of other Google+ pages - you can create and manage circles, start and join hangouts, and share content like posts and photos.

Alternatively, you can add information about your company in Map Maker, if it’s available in your country.

Have you tried the above methods?

Vadim, thank you very much for your timely response.

I have tried to create a local Google+ page, however Costa Rica is not an approved country yet. I have added all of the information possible in Map Maker, I added some more information, perhaps that will speed things up.

Do you have any other ideas? Thanks again for the help.

James
