Google Local Business Center

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Many business owners are missing a simple trick for getting their business found online.

Google has a feature attached to its maps called Google Local Business Centre (it seems they do both English and American spellings). This feature enables business owners to list their business in Google’s local directory.

When a search is performed at Google, in addition to the normal web page results, Google will show a map at the top of the page with relevant local businesses shown on the map and listed adjacently.

We have already seen excellent results for three customers whose Google Business Centre profiles we have either created or improved.

Feeder Sites pt II

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

We’ve added another feeder site to our stable. This time the domain is

Harrow Computer Repair

because we very close to Harrow and can repair computers in Harrow promptly.

We’ll see how this site performs for our search engine activities.

Feeder sites – good or bad?

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Here at Support Lounge, we regularly experiment to determine the best methods of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

Feeder sites can be mini-sites that feed traffic to a main website based on certain keywords.

For example, because one of the things we do is fix computers in Wembley, we have just set up Wembley Computer Repair to help pick up on searches using that term. Should we keep the new site as a separate feeder page or should we re-direct the domain to this one.

We will experiment and determine which works best.
