Google Places Unleashed Review

Google Places Unleashed (not an affiliate link)

This is a program from Mario Brown and it is finally something in the past month or so that I actually feel is a quality product that would genuinely help people to make more money than they are making or to start making any money at all.

No blind sales letter
No big promises

Definitely worth checking out.

      The video might have been annoying, but you know what wasn't annoying?

      He told us what he was selling
      he told us what it did
      he gave us realistic expectations as to what should be expected

      In my book, that's a win.

        I Find videos that can't be paused are very frustrating ... the phone rings and you can't pause the video ... I just bomb out in that case and don't come back.

      When I went the page the video is only 3 minutes long AND it lets me stop if I want. But I didn't want to stop it. I wanted to see and hear what Mario had to say. I liked the way Mario presented himself as a down to earth kind of a guy who seems to want to help us. Without all the hype!

      So I don't see what's so annoying about this. What annoys me is that you're complaining about this yet you have a page on your sig file I clicked on. It takes me to a page that automatically plays the videos and I had no way to stop it myself. So, you shouldn't be so hypocritical.

        When gp is a lot different 4 months from now will you still be updating it?
        Hey John,

        Thank you so much for your interest. I'm not going to update the videos every week or something like that but yes when I hear about news I let my list of buyers know and send them to the source where I found the news, that way everybody is up to date with all the changes - and it's obvious that Google still has changes coming regarding local search.

        Hi,

        Great to hear that you liked my new video. He was referring to a different video that I tested for one day, and it played automatically, typical video sales letter. Let me know what you think about the course.

          Hi Mario

          As mentioned we were only about 2/3rd's through the modules when we last posted.

          Well we finished.

          The course content is very good and to us the most important part was the information on the most recent update which changed the way that Google Places needs to be treated and enhanced through SEO.

          We have loads of other info on Google Places and this is as good if not better than any others we have seen with one exception.

          That exception is that this is the most up to date.

          All the best

    Well Jeremy, Maybe it does a great job of explaining what he is selling and what it does. Maybe he does give great expectations..

    My point is personally...speaking for me...I am tired of autoplay videos and sites with NO content that talk about the offer. Maybe they are working right now, but Personally...thats me I am sick of them. And the start of this video just made me want to RUN...

        Hey Jeremy,

        Thank you for the positive feedback, means a lot to me coming from you, seriously!

        Thanks!

        Dr. Net,

        Man you just missed the written sales letter .

        It was running in the last 24h since launch and I just changed it 60 minutes ago to test conversion.

        I might switch back to the written letter or to a hybrid version but you can get the full scoop HERE if you prefer reading

          Just a quick note on the course I bought..... I was really hesitant but it really delivers...I am about halfway through it and have been pausing the video doing the setup steps with Google Places on my own site so that then I know how to do it for clients.
          I reccommend this course highly!

              Just wanted to let you know that I have been working my way through your very informative videos.

              As always you have way over delivered! The videos spill the beans on everything needed to get a business ranked 1st in Google Map or Places.

              I had just recently been asked to put a local business onto Google Maps. I went through the set up and it seemed reasonably straight forward. BUT after going through Mario's Google Places course I realized all the mistakes I had made - big ones that were not helping this co.

              During the videos I paused one and implemented one thing that I had just learned. My listing moved from 7th place to 2nd place - I refreshed the page and there it was in 2nd place! The client was very impressed!

              I love this course because I know now I can easily get my listing to 1st place!

              Thanks Mario, you have made me look like a Google Maps master in my clients eyes.

              Anyone looking to either get their own company onto Google places or to get paid to put others on there then in my opinion this course is not going to disappoint.

              Thanks Mario!
              Thanks for posting your review Kaz, that is awesome. I can't afford to purchase at the moment so hopefully the course will still be available in a few weeks!

    Just thought I'd chime in and say Google Places Unleashes is defo worth the purchase

    Providing you're willing to take action and implement what you learn, you WILL make money.

    Anything Mario puts out is first class, if you're on the fence, I'd recommend you grab it

    There's no way you're gonna make less than $67 with offline consulting

    Has anyone been able to compare the original local listing WSO with this new one? And if Mario is around maybe he can give some input on this for the former WSO clients.

      Hey filfy,

      Thanks for the question.

      The first course that I launched back in January was really just about setting up a Google Places listing the right way.

      Since then, Google made some major changes to Google Places and I've learned a lot of new methods to achieve better results and higher rankings, including the new changes Google made.

      But not only that, I also include in Google Places Unleashed how I do local SEO and you can get your client's or you own businesses' website to rank high locally fast - the simple way without overwhelming you.

      Then, I go in very detail and show you how to attract clients and I only focus on simple strategies that I used when I started out, very straight forward and actionable. Depending on your level of comfort, I show you how to approach potential local clients.

      If you are not comfortable talking on the phone, I show you how I got my first $1,500/month client on Craigslist via email and how you can do the same.

      If you're comfortable with talking to clients, then I show you what to say, how to overcome the typical objections and how to network, plus much more.

      Also, and just as a bonus, I'm including a video course explaining mobile marketing.

      And there's more

      So yes, Google Places Unleashed is very very different compared to my first WSO.

      Let me know if you have any other question.

      Cheers,
      Mario

        Hi Mario,
        is this something you could also apply outside the US or would you say that at this point it´s more likely to work in the US, Canada or UK ?
        Thanks,
        Michael

          Hey Michael,

          I think the easiest way to apply it is in the States, UK and Australia - but yes, it works in any country where local SEO is displayed, and that's quite a lot of countries

          I live in Miami, so I really don't know how hard or easy it is to sell this service in other countries but I have many students that don't live in English spoken countries.

          Cheers,
          Mario

      Hey Mario

      Started the download process on this yesterday and will go over the info over the weekend.

      It looks pretty extensive and we are looking forward to seeing what it brings to the table.

      If its anything like your other products we will be more than happy.

      Hi Kristoffer,

      I don't know about David Jabas' course, never heard of it. I know that Google Maps Cash was launched quite some time ago and I'm not sure if it ever got updated.

      I updated my videos last weekend, so I'm proud to say that it's one of the most up to date courses out there, including the recent changes plus how to find clients and a lot more.

      So if the last course that you consumed is a couple of weeks or even months old, then yes, you'll get a lot of new information in this course.

      All the best,
      Mario

        I finished going through everything a little while ago, and I've got to say that information wise, this is one of the best "launch" products that I've bought in months probably.

        Because of the "recent" changes, we are going to give everything a couple runs through and if all is good, we're going to use the course to train our in house people that do GP. So all in all, this will more than likely turn out to be a very profitably investment.

              One more thing. What's the success rate of your Google Place method Say out of 10 clients that signed up with you, how many that you've succeeded in bringing their websites to the 1st page of Google, preferrably within the 1st top 3 of the Google Place?
              The thing is, I'll be doing my offline marketing campaign soon and I'd like to focus on the Google Place method. I just want to get some sort of assurance that your method works! It doesn't have to be all the time - as long as it is most of the time I hope you understand...

                  Hey CoolMomma,

                  Thank you so much for your interest.

                  Now, with the recent changes, I definitely recommend that you do SEO for your clients website in addition to the Google Places optimization.

                  Out of 10 businesses, I get 10 to the first page. It takes me on average 2-4 weeks, especially if it's a brand new listing. If the listing is life already, I've seen changes to the first page within 6-24 hours, depends a bit on how optimized the competitors are.

                  You showed so much interest that I've decided to send you a free copy via pm CoolMomma - only thing that I'm asking for that you come back to this thread to let other Warriors and myself know what your honest opinion is about the course.

                  I'd love to know what you think.

                  All the best,

                    Hey Mario

                    About 2/3rds of the way through the course and really impressed.

                    It does cover quite a lot of what we already know but also adds a couple of things we didn't. And more importantly an easier way to do them.

                    Will get back to you once we are through the lot - just thought we would give an update.

                    Regards

                    Hi Mario,

                    Thank you so much for your response! 10 out of 10 is really really awesome! 100% success rate!

                    Thank you..thank you so much for sending me the free copy! You are just awesome! I can't wait to devour your course! I'll definitely come back here for a review, though, I think you know already what it will be

                    Best,

                    Now, with the recent changes, I definitely recommend that you do SEO for your clients website in addition to the Google Places optimization.

                    Out of 10 businesses, I get 10 to the first page. It takes me on average 2-4 weeks, especially if it's a brand new listing. If the listing is life already, I've seen changes to the first page within 6-24 hours, depends a bit on how optimized the competitors are.

                    You showed so much interest that I've decided to send you a free copy via pm CoolMomma - only thing that I'm asking for that you come back to this thread to let other Warriors and myself know what your honest opinion is about the course.

                    I'd love to know what you think.

                    All the best,

    I run adwords company and also provide services for google places listings. I thought to take a look at Mario's course and it really giving you everything that I had learned in some months by testing different things. And the good thing is the course is latest as there were some changes recently.

    Hi Mario,
    I hope its the most updated gmaps course since most courses I encountered does not involve changes in google algorithms. Does it involves new google product such as google hotpot, tags and boost ? Hope this course can help my promote my sister's local business in USA even im here in Asia. Cheers

      The course content is very good and to us the most important part was the information on the most recent update which changed the way that Google Places needs to be treated and enhanced through SEO.

      We have loads of other info on Google Places and this is as good if not better than any others we have seen with one exception.

      That exception is that this is the most up to date.

      All the best

      Bronwyn and Keith
      Awesome, I'm happy to hear that you like the course and that you rank it amongst the top courses out there - and yes, it's definitely up to date, I made sure that I only launch it if it's really current with all the changes Google recently made.

      Oh Yes it is the most updated course carlog.

      I talk about Hotpot and how to use it, tags are covered by I don't talk a lot about Boost, I'm going to get into Boost once there's more info available and once it's out of the testing phase.

      You will definitely be able to help your sister's business in the USA.

      We have both.

      Ken's course is excellent but the updated info isn't as organised as Marios.

      Being organised saves us time and makes us money.

      Both great courses.

    I have not gone through this product, so let me get that out of the way up front. This is not a review of the product Mario's selling. But I can tell you that Mario is one of those rare marketers who DOES what he teaches and KNOWS what he teaches works. And he's one of the nicest, most down-to-Earth guys you'll ever meet, which I think matters.

    There are only a few people I would buy from just because his/her name is on the cover. Mario's one of them. If you trust my judgment about the character of the product's creator, and if you have an interest in Google Places, buy this. It's from Mario, so it's a given that it'll be underpriced and overdelivered.

    Disclaimer: Mario had no idea I'd post this. This is not a product review. It's a product CREATOR review.

      Mario,

      When the maximum number of slots on the first page (approx. 7) for Google Places has already been taken by other businesses, are you still able to rank your new client on the first page for that keyword, or do you have to find another similar keyword?

      The main course is absolutely sufficient for Google Places, it's really all you will ever need. There is one upsell currently for $97, and it's a shocking offer, allowing you to have your business up and running with contracts, agreements and everything within 24hours.

      But again, Google Places Unleashed is all you need, the upsell allows you to get your consulting business up and running and teaches you how to run your business and how to appear more professional.

      [QUOTE=joan007;2997050]Mario,

      You can and should outrank the competitors and in Google Places Unleashed I show you how to do that fast

          Hey Mario, I got the Google Places Cheat Sheet, and, in a recommendation from the creator, LiquidSEO, I'm about to get your GPUnleashed Product.

          My goal is to use all of these to get my own offline consulting business going. I've spent about a year trying to learn SEO and setting up blogs to make pennies, then finally dollars with AdSense, promoted Amazon products as an affiliate for a few bucks a month, promoted Clickbank products for a few bucks a month, then finally, I wrote my own product, and I'm sort of seeing that this route, rather than doing the AdSense internet marketing, is where my talents lie.

          I can't wait to dive into your course and really make some things happen - I have some great ideas for marketing and some contacts already that would love to have me do this for them.

          Are Google Places Unleashed and GPScraper from the same people, or are these competing products? Does Google Places Unleashed teach me HOW to market and charge clients, and set them up the way they need to be set up?

            Is there a proper support desk for this?

            Mario emailed yesterday about the videos going offline, to download them, but the download doesn't work for me. Says the filename.mp4, but when I click on it Amazon S3 has it so protected that the file tries to download as "GPU" with no extension.

            I replied to the email, but haven't had a response yet (and it seems to be a gmail account so maybe he doesn't check it daily...) and I sent a PM this morning here but saw others that said they'd sent one but never got a reply... so I thought this might be the best place to reach Mario?

            Help? I want to download the videos because I paid but haven't had time to get to them all

      Hey Rob,

      I had a look and I have to admit that I missed the email that you've sent me after purchasing the product, I'm sorry about that.

      I normally get back within 24 hours (mostly faster) if customers have any issues with something. Trust me, if my customer service was non-existent, this thread wouldn't be full of outstanding testimonials, which I'm very proud of.

      I got back to you regarding your question, let me know if I can help you in any other way.

      All of the tutorials are in video. Now this is great so you can just sit back and learn. Nothing hard about that. Now it would be great to offer pdf downloads but hey you can't have it all.

      So I viewed the videos I skipped about 4 of them(Keyword research and citations)

      I then applied what I learned to a new client's listing with 2 keywords and never checked in on it afterwards.

      Today when I was doing research for the google places, I then found my client ranked #1 for the 2 keywords I had used.

      At first I thought it was me seeing things so I went on a different computer and ran the search when I saw that yes my clients were ranking #1 locally for those keywords.

      The Good:

      - Excellent step by step videos that take you from how to do all the basic set up, keyword research, and everything necessary to dominate google places with all the new Google changes. Nothing is left out and you get your moneys worth. I never did google maps before and by the time I was done with the course I browsed away armed with all the power and ammunition I need to kill it now with this new service.
      - Bonuses such as the client attraction method and mobile marketing (which will be the new thing of 2011)!
      - Support from Mario as you get his personal email address.

      I recommend Google Places Unleashed. Get it and have a merry Christmas!!

      Thanks for the nice words, stuff like this motivates to keep going and to produce quality content. There is a lot of crap out there and recently there are some horrible launches on Clickbank, so I tried my best to create a killer product that over-delivers - without all the hype and fake scarcity.

    First, I just want to thank Mario for providing us with such detailed and intensive course on Google Places. The course is huge guys! This is the main reason why I haven't been able to provide my review as soon as I get a hold of this course. Sorry Mario...

    The course does not only have lessons on Google Places. It also has courses on Local SEO and How to Get Clients for your Google Places and/or Local SEO service. It also has 2 bonuses, Mobile Profits and Offline Fortune. All these courses and the bonuses contain detailed videos on each topic.

    The Google Places course itself is massive. It has about 20 - 5 to 10 minutes video containing the step by step details on how to get your Google Places listing optimized, from creating the listing, all the way to getting reviews and coupons listed for your listing. As we all understand, for Google to rank your Google Place listing high, not only it has to be SEO optimized, it also has to have reviews from the customers of the business. Without giving away too much of the content of the course, Mario shows several different ways to optimize the listing without looking spammy to Google. Without this course, I would've created a listing that's full of my target keywords all over the place! Thanks to Mario's course, I now know better

    If you're on the fence, I hope my review helps you in your decision making process.

    Thanks,
    CM

    I hear version 2.0 is coming out.

    If we purchase version 1 now, do we get version 2 free as an upgrade?
