			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take a minute to see how your customers are using Google Maps to find your business. After you watch the video, please take a moment to read my thoughts below.</p>

<h3>Check Your Listing</h3>
<p>Can you see how important it is to insure that your business is listed at the right location? If it&#8217;s not, you can easily drag the icon to the correct location. It will take a few days for the change to take place, but now your customers will be able to find you.</p>
<h3>Link To Your Google Map</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s also a great idea to post a link to your Google Map from the contact page on your website and as part of your signature file in your email, especially if you have a business location that is hard to find.</p>
<h3>Provide Written Directions</h3>
<p>If your customers generally come from one direction, like a local airport, I would encourage you to also print the written directions on your contact page too. This serves two purposes. First, it&#8217;s good business practice to make it as easy as possible for your customers to find you, and second, it&#8217;s another way to help the search engines promote your business listing to the top of their search results page.</p>
