Google Places gives you all the tools you need to self promote your business. First off Google Places allows your
business to be in the game with its free local platform, and we all know that
in order to win, you got to be on the field. Google Places also allows you to dress up your business to
whatever suites you or your target market, giving you the ability to add
photos, videos, post live updates, and even respond to customer reviews to give
that personal touch every business wants.
What
I found that was really interesting was the Google Adwords feature. Google Adwords will promote your
business for you! When someone searches a tag word or search your area for a
certain service or goods your business will pop on their results, and will even
be pinpointed on a map.
Unfortunately Google Adwords is not free, however you are able to
determine your monthly budget, AND are only charged when someone actually
clicks on your site. To top
that off this feature will tell you how many people clicked on your site so
that you can make a decision on your budget… awesome.
Google Places to me is sheer Greatness. Starting your own business is difficult
and scary, Google Places just made your life a whole lot easier.
Very essential for the small business owner in helping promote to areas that have no direct contact with the goods or services provided. The review is beneficial in adding credibility and goodwill to your company through direct customer feedback.

This allows people to save so much money. I know a lot of business people who would save a lot on google places. They are stuck in the past. They have a store for no reason. They pay over $1000 a month for rent when that could be $12,000 a year kept in their pocket.
