Increase Your Local Search Visibility

Millions of people search on Google Maps for local businesses every day, and a listing will help potential customers to find your business.

Get More Customers with Local Search Results
Google Maps enables you to search the entire web for just those shops or businesses in a specific area. Include a town or postcode in your search and Google will display relevant results from that area at the top of your search results.

Around 30% of the time people search on Google, they are looking for businesses local to them such as somewhere to eat out, or an electrician to fix their socket. That's why it is important to let people know that you are a local business that can help them. Gpages knows how to get your business listed on Google Maps.

Promote Your Local Business Effectively
Are you finding it difficult to promote your local business effectively? A new search engine marketing technique may be the solution. 'Local Search Engine Marketing' is a type of search that has the intent of finding web results based on keyword queries relative to geographic locations. Search Engine Marketing is most important for businesses that serve distinct geographical areas.

With Google Maps the emphasis is on attracting local customers within a specific geographical area where your Gpage, or existing website, would serve as an online brochure and advertisement at what a splendid establishment or service you offer!

Put Your Business On The Map Today
If you're a business with premises where customers visit then you would benefit from a listing on Google Maps.

Or if you can provide a service to local residents then Google Maps would be ideal too.

Are you a Restaurant looking to fill those seats?

Or a Health Club trying to get people fit & healthy?

Or a Travel Agent able to provide a personal service?

Perhaps you're a Plumber that wants people to know who can help.

Whatever your business type Google Maps could be the way to get your business on the map!

When local customers search Google for locally based businesses or information, they'll be able to get key information such as addresses, opening hours, directions of how to get to you, even a photo of your premises. By ensuring that basic information is up-to-date, businesses listed will stand out on the map and be more likely to attract new customers.

Get Your Business Listed
Google Maps are free to be listed on (in order to make the ranking system as fair as possible for everyone), so there's no way anyone can request or pay for a better ranking.

The quick and easy way to get your business listed on Google Maps, saving you the time and trouble, is to let Gpages complete the submission on your behalf when you order your Gpage.

Just tick the Local Search Submission box on the Gpages Sign-Up form and we'll submit your business to the Google Local Business Centre so that it will show up on Google Maps and some Google Search results.

We'll ensure your Gpage is also linked to it to maximise your online visibility, and in addition to the information you've supplied to create your Gpage ( from which we'll add a description of your business), we'll also email you to request additional material to upload, such as a photo of your premisies if you wish to supply one, at NO EXTRA CHARGE.

Simply tick the Local Search Submission box on the Gpages order form and let Google help your business develop.

Submit Your Listing Yourself
If you run a small business you can create a brand new listing yourself by setting-up and logging into your own Google account, and then completing the forms online to submit your listing. To help you we've placed a link to an instructional video from Google for you to view, outlining the sign-up and submission process for the Google Local Business Center.

Managing Your Listing
If Gpages submits your listing for you, you'll receive a confirmation email and be able to view your business listing on Google Maps. You can then email us any amendements or additions desired without further charge.

A Single One Off Fee
Please be aware that our Google Local Business Centre submission service is complementary to a customer's Gpage, and we do not offer this service on it's own. Gpages charge a single one-off fee of £15 (+VAT) for submitting your business for listing on Google Maps. You will be invoiced with PayPal payment details via email but you will not require a PayPal account to pay.

Should you wish to make any amendments or updates in the future, we can either continue to manage the process for you on Google Local Business Centre, for which there is an administrative fee of £10 (+VAT) charged at the time a listing amendment is requested, or if you prefer we can release the listing so that you can take it over and update it yourself.
