Two Important Google Additions you need to make

We've made these changes on Google to the Lombard Chamber Business Page, and suggest you do the same!  It's FREE and is another great way to promote your business!!  Take advantage of it today!  If you need help, don't hesitate to call us and we'll help guide you through!
  1.  Make sure you've claimed your Local Business Page. You've all experienced doing a search on Google and had the map appear with a bunch of business listings. When you click on the 'Places Page', you're given more info on that business like the address, services they provide and reviews. For your Places Page, you want to go through the process of securing your listing. You'll know if you've done this by looking in the top right-hand corner. If it reads 'Business Owner?' you have not claimed your page. If it says 'Verified Business Listing' then you have. They will either call you and give you a pin or send you a postcard to your business address. Once complete, you can update the page with photos, change important contact info, respond to reviews of your business, and receive stats about how many people see this listing and the phrases they used when searching. Do it now!
     
When searching on Google, you can now see a preview of a Website before clicking on the link to visit the site. In my opinion, this is HUGE! I've already decided not to go to a Website after seeing what it looks like in that preview box. If your site looks cluttered, has lots of colors, or too much text, it might discourage someone from clicking on it. So go look at what your site looks like in that preview box, and if you don't like what you see, change it!
