Act Fast For a Free Google Tag!

July 20, 2010 - Google loves giving away free help to small businesses and their latest feature is receiving the free trial treatment, but you must act fast!

Google Tags is the latest small business feature to roll out of the Google Labs and for the first 30 days, it's free. Google Tags works with the popular Google Maps feature, found on your web browser and most mobile devices. Tags integrates with your current Google Places listing (and if you don't have one, this is the time to get one!) to enhance it with special features about your business.

The little yellow tag that appears next to your Google Places listing allows your law firm to include special information such as a video, website, photo, or a custom message. The tags are easily updatable to allow for special promotions, announcements, and news updates relevant to your office.

After the 30-day free trial the feature will cost $25 per month and allows businesses to track the effectiveness of the program with dashboard reports. You have until July 23^rd to take advantage of this trial so start tagging now!

As a law firm it's important to your clients that your offices are located relevant to their neighborhood. Most clients prefer working with a local attorney rather than one that's a 2-3 hour drive away, so it's important that your Internet marketing focuses on geo-specific targeting.

Using proper geo-specific keywords such as neighborhood names, surrounding cities, and metropolitan locations are all excellent ways to boost your search engine rankings when a client is searching for local attorneys. Including location-relevant information in your website content is also crucial, as it helps clients searching for specific local cases such as a slip and fall accident at a local water park.

Your Google Places listing is also important to your online marketing efforts as it will allow your law firm to appear on the Google Maps application, as well as in search engine results. A normal Google search often results in a small version of Google Maps displaying local business results - and your law firm could be one of them!

At We Do Web Content we strive to keep up with the latest advances in local business marketing to give your law firm the edge in Internet marketing. We take the time to research your local area and integrate quality, geo-specific features into the content we produce exclusively for your website, newsletter and blogs.
