Good Question - Easy Answer!
You should take advantage of any free marketing tool for your business. Google Maps is one of those outlets that are available to you at no charge.
You'll increase your business visibility and provide your customers with a snapshot of your business in an easy-to-use application.
Simply go to:
Google Local Business Center
Add your business listing and fill out the online form:
1. Required Information
2. Category
3. Hours and Payment
4. Photos and Video
5. Custom
You can also create a coupon with your listing that can draw more customers to your business.
Encourage your current customers who are happy with your services to rate and write a review of your business.
You’ll need to verify that you are the owner of your business by phone verification or having a postcard mailed to you.
In addition you can also list your business on Yahoo! by going to Yahoo! Local Listings and creating an account with them.
I encourage you to add your business listing today and start getting the word out - it's easy and it's free!

Hi
Great information and encourage your current customers who are happy with your services to rate and write a review of your business.

Great advice. This is one of those little things that can make a big difference, especially as people increasingly access Google Maps from their mobile phones. This means people won't be searching the web for you/your category, they'll just be searching the maps directory. Listen to Joanne: don't miss out, sign up!
I have seen a lot of people who register for Google Local but do not provide the relevant information to have their maps listed, getting your map out can provide potential customers a clear route to reach you and give you an edge over your competitors
nice information regarding listing myself on google Maps....
Thanks for the post...
Thanks to the author for this exciting post. This topic of taking advantage of any free marketing tools like Google Maps is new and not easily available on the Internet. I came across other two sites like www.karmiccoach.com and www.mysticselling.com providing interesting tips for a successful small business.

Getting into the Google Maps list is so easy, all you have to do is to register your business and they will call you immediately for further instructions. Good luck!

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost
a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
