Next time you do a search in Google, notice that cluster of listings at the top of the page with the A, B, C, etc. markers?
That’s Google Places, and it’s a FREE method for you to get your business placed on the first page of search results for your business keyphrases!
All you need to do is sign in or sign up for your free Google account (Is there anybody left that doesn’t have one?).

This is something that you have to take advantage of sooner rather than later, because your competitors can also sign up and get their little marker on the map, too.
