How To Get Your Business a Top Listing on Google Places

When people put the word "London Cosmetic Dentist” or "Cosmetic Dentist London" into the Google search box, they will see different results however, one thing that remains constant are the seven listings that are reserved for local London Dentist.

Dentists would normally want their practice to be at the top of that list of seven in the Google Places search.

Getting a Cosmetic Dentist listing ranked first on Google Places is very attainable if the Google Places page is properly optimised.

Multiple Reviews and Google Maps

Having plenty of reviews from the customers is one very good way to get listed high. By "plenty" we mean as many as you can get. You want the amount of reviews to be more than other local dentists in your local area.

Reviews are one of the most important aspects of good ranking and don’t worry about one or two bad reviews because Google loves them, provide they are a very small percentage of your total. It is important that these reviews are real and they should come from your past or present customers. Use email and put a link to the review area in the email.

Use photos and videos.

Use as many videos (five) and still images (ten) as you are allowed to use so that your company looks good. The first photo on your list will be the one everyone sees when they look at the local listing, make this a good one.

The videos don't need to be long, but they must be “youtube.com” videos. They should offer tips and information about your business, and always use your best keywords in the titles of the photos and videos.

Photos are easy they can be about your office and your staff or about particular things that make people understand better what you do.

Keywords and Your Business Description

Take time in writing your business description use your best keywords first and then all the other ones don’t tell people how great you are or that you help the community only use the 200 characters to describe your best keyword.

Keywords in Your Business Name.

It’s ok to use keywords, such as '"Dentist" and "Cosmetic Dentist" in your business name. But never ever use a word that is not your registered business name just to get keywords in to it. If you get reported, by your competitors, Google will drop your page.

Citations

Whatever and wherever you post something on the internet that is related to your business, try to make it link back to your Google places web page, and always use your name and address in business directories and linkable correspondence exactly as it is written on your Google web page, word for word and letter for letter.

Offer Limited Time Coupons

Your Google Places web page has an area where you can offer your customers coupons that they can download and presented to you. This is a good way to check the effectiveness of you web page. Make limited Offers that you can change from time to time to test how many customers you are getting because you are advertising locally on Google places.

People will find you with Google Maps

If you work hard on your Google places web page people will find your Cosmetic Dentist practice fast because you are advertising locally to the very people who are looking for you and there is not much competition, at least until people catch on.
