IDEA: Expensive BUT Possible City Domination

7 replies
Ok, I was just thinking this IDEA over, Nothing ventured nothing gained so here is my IDEA:

Google Places works based upon: Address, phone and website for localization..Correct?

If so, here is my idea for owning every city that the company you are promoting services.

1. Create DBA's for the Area's/cities
2. Register a new domain name
3. Register a new phone number for the area
4. Purchase a new company address

Now How does this work: Pluto Plumbing currently is SEo'd to be at the top of Pluto City BUT Pluto Plumbing supports Saturn and Uranus cities too.. But Pluto plumbing is only showing up for Pluto. So here is how it works, Pluto Plumbing creates a DBA- Pluto Plumbing of Saturn and then creates a new website for Saturn only customers, they go to a local Mail Plus store and get a new physical address of 34 cosmic way .. Saturn, Universe 101010.. Now that he has a new address and website.. we call up God phone company and request a new phone number for Saturn. Create a new google places and then rank for Saturn plumbing..Pluto Plumbing of Saturn or Saturn Plumbing ..

Now Pluto can be listed to Rank for Saturn plumbing but call the same company..

Am I way off or does this idea actually work?

    I'm no expert but wouldn't the website have to have an ip address in that city for Google to place it?

      I dont think so because people host websites on servers all over the world, for example godaddy does not have servers in Virginia but they host Virginia companies that are in the google places for there cities

      No, no one hosts their site in the city they're in. I'm in metro detroit, but my clients websites are all hosted in California, Montreal and New York.

    Yea, of course. I guess I was thinking about how we're tracked locally concerning our own IP and got the two mixed up. It's pulling the IP from the local user not the server.

    You lost me at number 1, creating the dba's. The idea of added accounting and tax reporting makes me want to blow chunks.

    I've read about doing this before but not to the extent of doing dba's too.

    You could always test one. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

      You don't need any of it..don't even need a website to be #1 in Google Places for a keyword.. Google weight loss center mckinney . You'll see 30 day weight loss center #1 and it goes directly to an affiliate landing page.

      Even better, if you live in mckinney and just type in weight loss center, Google recognizes your location and my listing will pop up.

      I do test listings like this all the time. You don't have to register a business or even have a website to rank for great keywords in GP.

        They do however have a local address (which looks like its a UPS store) and a local phone number.
