Event Details
Attention: Local Business Owners...
Get Your Business to the Top of the Most Valuable Real Estate on the Internet!
At the end of this unique, hands on, all day Google Maps Boot Camp, you'll walk away with the most optimized, most compelling, most competition-crushing local business listing in your market!
You’ve probably heard by now t
hat the Yellow Pages are dead... the Internet is where the action is now.
As a result, as a local business owner, you no longer just have to deal with the Yellow Pages reps pestering you to run yet more ridiculously expensive ads that no one is ever going to see.
Now there’s a whole new assortment of sales people from local search directories, social media experts and online yellow pages reps making all sorts of claims about how many leads they can throw your way if you just sign up for their services (at some ridiculously high monthly fee).
But did you know this?
You can get your business listed on the most coveted piece of real estate on the web, the place that more of your prospects turn to when looking for a local business than any other source, the place that has become the new Yellow Pages for millions of people…for FREE?!
Google Maps
That’s right. Google Maps is where the action is now. When your prospects go to Google to look for a local business like yours, a listing of local businesses appear smack dab at the top of page 1 of Google.
And it’s as simple as this … either your business is listed there, drawing the eyeballs of your prospects - or your competitors are.
Bob Sommers and Adam Kreitman are local search marketing experts and have a history of helping businesses claim, optimize and launch their local business listings to the top of Google Maps. They know first hand what Google Maps means for the local businesses who take FULL advantage of this free service.
Posetek Appliance - Ft. Myers Florida
One of our many customers, Joe Pose of Posetek Appliance in Fort Myers, Florida was going out of business. He was told by his largest lead generating source (Whirlpool) that they were going to stop providing him with 40% of his business.
After optimizing his business listing on Google, Yahoo and Bing for his target audience he was not only able to avoid bankruptcy, but he opened a second office in Naples, Florida to handle all the new business he was generating over the Internet ... and he did it without spending a dime on advertising.
Uptown Automotive - Maui, HI
Dave Schelfe, owner of Uptown Automotive on Maui knows the value of Google Maps. Last year he decided to create a discount coupon on Google to attract new customers while at the same time dropping his $500/month Yellow Page listing.
Result: Dave gave away $20,000 in coupon savings to his customers in 2010 while saving $6,000 in Yellow Page ads (just think how much business he had to generate by giving away that much in coupons!).
Regal Car Rental - Ft. Myers Florida
Tom Kindelan of Regal Car Rental in Fort Myers Florida was receiving 50 calls a month prior to jumping on the Google Maps bandwagon. Today, less than 10 months later, he is having to turn down 50 callers a day because he can not meet the demand. Better yet, many of Toms leads are coming from sites other than Google ... again, for FREE.
The Dirty Little Secret of Local Search
While working with local business owners like Joe and Dave over the years we’ve noticed a striking pattern. The business owners who take an active role in their local search marketing efforts are the ones who get the best results.
You see, no one knows your business like you do.
And because of that, the only person who is 100% qualified to effectively market your business is you. No local search marketing company can do it successfully without your full participation and understanding of the process. Not even the local search marketing experts at the Main Street Marketing Community.
New Program - Better Results
Because we’ve learned this lesson, we’ve decided to create a program, unlike any other, to help local business owners like yourself claim and optimize your company’s Place Page on Google Maps.
This one-day boot camp is not just about teaching you all our secrets for creating a compelling Place Page that has the best chance of getting to the top of the rankings.
This is about rolling up our sleeves together and going through the comprehensive step-by-step process with you live at the boot camp.
And here's the best part. When you leave, all of the hard work will be done!
We charge $1000 to go through this process for our clients. But during this boot camp we’re going to show you the exact process we use … all the steps … all the secrets … to create the most compelling Place Page possible and get it ranked as high as possible in the search results.
Here’s what you’ll accomplish at the boot camp
- How to easily find the top keywords your prospects are typing into Google RIGHT NOW to find you (get this part wrong and the rest of your efforts won’t matter)
- What it takes to claim your free business listing on Google, Bing and Yahoo! and how to make them the most compelling business listing out there
- The magical resource that will submit your business listing to over 60+ other local search sites so your business will be listed everywhere your prospects may be looking for you (this one tip can save you hours and hours of work!)
- The secrets to using photos (and videos) to make your listing irresistible to prospects AND Google
- How to “spy” on your competition and use the information on their Place Pages to your advantage
- An easy way to quickly generate 5 star reviews on the most popular review sites
- The essentials of search engine optimization and how it affects your local business ranking on Google (3 months ago this didn’t matter, but due to recent changes, it’s essential you know about this!)
The Big News
* Your success in getting your business listing to show up high on the first page of results on Google Maps has very little to do with the information you provide on your business listing. It has to do with the dozens of little things you do elsewhere.
Now don’t just expect to sit back at this boot camp, take notes and absorb all this information for use in the future.You’re going to be doing it right along with us, with your business listing.
And at the end of the day, your local business listing will be claimed, optimized, posted and poised to attract new and profitable customers!
Less Than Half The Price We Charge To Do It For You
We charge $1000 to do all this for our clients. What are we going to charge to teach you all our secrets (and risk turning you into one of our competitors because you’ll know so much about local search marketing!).
The investment for this seminar is just $497. That is a one time fee. And for that you’re going to walk away with an optimized local business listing on a number of key websites and know how to do it for any additional locations you have or businesses you may own.
And, we think this is so important, that if you want to bring along your office manager or internal marketing manager who is the person responsible for maintaining your local business listing, you can do that for just $100 more!
Compare the Price
Compare that pricing to what it costs each MONTH to run an ad in the Yellow Pages...or do direct mail...or place ads in newspapers...on TV or radio.
Not to mention Google is where the vast majority of your prospects are actively looking for you these days.
For this one-time investment, you’ll end up with the most compelling listing in your market poised to attract the eyeballs of your prospects and make Google want to feature your business on Page 1 – the most valuable real estate on the web!
And Understand This
It’s estimated that only about 3% of local businesses have claimed their Place Page and even fewer have optimized it correctly. But that’s not going to be the case much longer. Your competition isn’t going to remain in the dark about this forever.
More and more businesses are figuring out that the Yellow Pages aren’t working and are shifting their attention online.
There is a limited opportunity here to take advantage of their continued ignorance. What you do and learn at this Google Maps Boot Camp will put you light years ahead of your competitors – at least 97% of whom still have no clue about this!
You have the opportunity to stake your claim now and build such a huge head start over your competition, it’ll be nearly impossible for them to catch up!
