New Changes to Local Search...

One thing you can count on Google for is Constant Change...

        Recently over 80 million Google+ Local Pages were created from existing Places Pages, but this is not the only change in local search. A new tab has been added within Google+ named “Local” which will help to combine social networking and local search. To make local business listings more social, Zagat Reviews have been implemented as well. According to Google this change will allow for better review ratings since the Zagat scale is much more dynamic than the usual 5 star review. (Zagat has 0-30 Scoring System)

        Why the merge? It appears as if it's part of Google's effort to compete with Facebook and make Google+ more relevant, and also part of their effort to make their local business more social in general. "Learn about local businesses from people you know and trust" is the mantra, and integrating Google Places with Google Plus is a good way to help people do that. Google is also trying to make everything as seamless as possible across all Google products -- search, maps, mobile, social, etc. - so the move makes sense from that point of view.

How Datastream can help You Dominate..."

  Google + Local Place Page Management Program!

First if your place page hasn't been claimed we will claim it for you, not claiming your Google page is like
standing on the sidewalk staring into the big glass window of your business without being able to go in.

Second - Google loves data- Fresh Content , as a matter of fact they actually require it. And the more data,
media information we provide the more your place page will be rewarded with the end results of Google giving you
Exposure on relevant searches in your industry. We will create content and update your page frequently, this content will be accurate and relevant to your Google Place Page visitor. Just as important, we will make sure your Place Page is complete and geo-targeted so that it will have the highest success of being found.

Third - Google has made available over 49 million Place Pages but only 7% have actually been claimed (up from 4% in December). Of that 7 percent, a very small portion of businesses actually edit, update or mange them after the second month. By month three, the information initially added is the same data that appears today. This instantly lowers their Organic rankings as Google prefers "Fluid" Sites - those that are relevant and updated frequently.

Fourth - Original Content Pictures, Informational Videos - Every month we will create a new "Traffic Magnet"
Video's for your place page upload new and relevant industry pictures and keep your place Page fresh for your visitors, Creating Coupons and special offers to attract new business into your sales funnel.

Fifth - We help you with a comprehensive plan to acquire Awesome Testimonials from your Clients and Customers - This will be "the" KEY FACTOR IN YOUR FIRST PAGE RANKINGS!

As with Google Place Pages, The New Google+ Local merge and the social dynamic land of organic rankings will be forever altered and reward those who are more attentive and relevant. As such, maintaining a Google Place Page has become a perpetual line item on the business agenda and in our OPINION A MUST! by William Smith
