Uppercase at Last!












As you may all remember, Google updated their business listing user interface about 3 months ago. Among some of the perks added to the interface, our AccuDiagnostics titles all turned lowercase, "accudiagnostics", even though in our listing's edit details section we clearly had it input as "AccuDiagnostics" with uppercase letters.
I wrote Google 2 times complaining about this, and stating that it looked very unprofessional, and about a week ago I found that they were again displaying correctly at last!

While checking out your listing you could also take this time to login to your google account and update your listing to include more coupons, details and video. If you have a happy customer, suggest to them that they could review your business via your business listing. Good reviews really help your listing position. This will be really important now more than ever because some of our competitors are knocking us out of the top 3 business listings for some searches just like we knocked them out when we came on board about a year ago with our optimized listings.

Within your business listing account you will also find a great interface that allows you to see the amount of times your business listing was displayed and what actions people took on your listing; whether they visited your site, asked for directions, or found out more about you.

Our business listings are SO important to your online success, so please take the time to monitor them. Also see the CAMPA TODAY blog post on creating your Bing business listing. Most of you are listed on Bing's business listings, but your listing is lacking in details and a link to your website. Your competitors are busy taking these steps and you should be active in these areas as well!
