It’s Friday, and nobody wants to use a lot of brain cells thinking. So I am going to make this a nice quick post. But one that is still pretty important!<\/p>\n

Google Places for contractors<\/strong><\/p>\n

With so much going on in local search, especially Google’s Places page, you need to realize that it is not a set-it-and-forget-it proposition.<\/p>\n

You have to constantly give your Google Places page the care and feeding it needs to continue to bring you that great free organic traffic you have gotten used to.<\/p>\n

You see, you getting the love from Google is only going to be temporary if you don’t continue to add new content such as text, pictures and video…Google loves video.<\/p>\n

You can also change-up your offers or coupons every month or two as well as add any new social media links that make sense.<\/p>\n

The point is, staying on top of your free listing on Google means you will stay ahead of the guys that think social media marketing is for “other contractors”.<\/p>\n
