The future of the great British High Street is hanging in the balance… and it’s not just retailers who are feeling the pinch. Every local business has to fight harder every single day to gain and retain customers.

The problem? Traditional advertising and marketing techniques simply just don’t work any more. 

But luckily, help is at hand! One of the world’s largest and most successful companies has now thrown a lifeline to local businesses - a powerful marketing tool to bring you more customers… and here at Google Places 4 Business we will show you how to use it to win more customers and increase profits.

Question: When you want to buy a product or service, do you go first to the local paper, to Yellow Pages – or to the drawer next to the phone, full of leaflets and cards somebody shoved through your letterbox? That’s the way it used to be done... but NOT anymore!

Most consumers today have a computer or a smart phone and use the Internet giant Google to find local businesses of every description.

91% of all Internet users use a search engine to find information (Source: Pew Internet & American Life Project)

51% of consumers search online before making an offline purchase (Verdict Research, 05/2009)

82% of local searches result in offline actions (Study by Comscore Networks - Click Z 08/02/2007)

97% of consumers now look online when researching products or services in their local area (According to BIA/Kelsey - www.bia.com and www.kelseygroup.com)

And now, for the cost of a small ad in your local newspaper (which as we’ve all experienced, brings zero response) we will help your business use one of the most powerful marketing tools available. It’s called Google Places and it’s a service that very few businesses are aware of... and even fewer are using.

How it works:  We go through the entire process of registering your business with Google Places on your behalf. Once they have confirmed your details are accurate, and you are a genuine business, you will appear prominently in the Google results for people actively looking for your
