If you're a business person, don't play with the exposure Google Maps can give to your business.
It works like this:
Everyday people go online to look for people who can help them with certain services. Everyday people go on Google to search for the contact details of plumbers, event planners , caterers and even sharwarma shops around them.
When they search for these services, Google suggests businesses that have been listed with them.
For example:
Esther runs a real estate agency. Esther can go ahead to list her business on Google maps , with her contact details and office address.
When people are looking for real estate agents within that location... Esther's business will appear on the list.
Same for Jude the tailor.
Nneka that sells crocker fish.
Mrs. Obi and her primary/secondary school
Listing your business on Google can have you receiving calls from complete strangers who found you on Google and want to do business ASAP.
If you run a business, don't sleep on it. Get someone to help you set it up. Or you could send me and email and I could teach you... And a few other things at an extremely low price.
Check the picture � imagine your business being at the top of the list on the first page when people search for whatever you do.
