Well, it is pretty easy to get listed in Google Maps for the iPhone. Just head on over to Google’s Local Business Center at www.google.com/local/add and login with your Google account. Of course you have a Google account because you followed our advice on installing Google Analytics.
The Local Business Center interface walks you through the process with a step-by-step interface, so go ahead and walk through that to sign up your business. Since the process is easy, let me give you some tips:
Fill out as much as you can
Optimize your categories to relate to searches
Add good description text
Add images and videos
Use your additional details section to add services and other important keywords
Get in Google Local today to take advantage of the opportunities. If you are looking to make sure you are listed in other applications such as UrbanSpoon, you may need to research their source and get added to the directory. Fortunately, many get their information from Google Local, so it is the best way to start.
