Google is trying hard to get users to upload photos on Google Places. Why all the effort? And what should your business do about it?

75% of communication it's done visually. Why not take advantage of it, it's such a great marketing tactic!

I work with Google as a business specialist. We want business owners to take full advantage of Google services, especially their place page. When they submit photos we know they are engaged and understand how to use this technology. We also know that people go to websites that have pics on their place page more than the opposite.

Business owners SHOULD ask their customers to write reviews on Google. The more relevant the review (details about the service)the better it helps improve their generic search results.

If anyone needs help with Google Places, email [email protected]
