While most major companies create basic listings for their hotels via bulk uploads, there is still a large opportunity to fully optimize each location. There are a staggering number of listings that remain unclaimed in local search, which provides a great marketing opportunity. By claiming your listing, you essentially provide search engines with relevant content about your area, suggested categories, value added coupons, and ensure your exact location is correct.
Steps to claiming your local business listing in Google:
Note: You must have a Google Gmail account to verify your hotel’s listing.
These simple steps will allow your business to generate more impressions and be listed for more specific keyword queries, not just geo-targeted searches. Make sure to complete all of the sections including the descriptions, hours, photos, categories, and coupons.
Coupons are a great way to differentiate your listing from others as you see in the image above. Once you’ve complete the validation, now you can learn Important Factors for Local Search Ranking on the Milestone Blog.
