Local business listings are a free way to get your website in front of potential prospects. If you are a small business, it is crucial to claim a spot in the local business listings.
Your local search will show up in Googles local search results when someone in your geographic area performs a search. On the other hand, if a person does a search from across the country it will not show up.
Most people search online for businesses when they are looking for a location or a phone number to contact the business and ask questions. You want to make sure that your business is listed and can be found easily by customers.
If you do not claim your listing Google will show your business listing with basic information. When you take control of your local business listing you can add helpful information for visitors such as business hours, phone number, address, coupons and other information that a potential customer would find useful.
