Google regional search - act now

Here's an important opportunity for all businesses that offer a regional service.  Google is rolling out its local business search – an additional service that Google is adding to their google maps application.  They are looking to map businesses and services to their geographical location.

Why is this important?  Because Google will display the first 10 local businesses listed on any regional search. Not only is this independent of organic google searches, but it is displayed high up on the page with a large visual weight. Its a very important way to gain traffic from Google.

I recommend that you get in early and don't be disappointed.

Just visit http://www.google.com/local/add/ and complete the application.
