SEO for local biz OFFLINE question...
- SEO |
If I google for example, breast surgeons in (my city), I'll get a list of about 7 surgeons or clinics on top with the google map and map markers, etc. Some of those listed don't even have websites. Some that have websites are not even on the first page of the google regular listings, but further on down, like page 2 or even 7 and beyond.
So with Google Places being offered, why would a business owner on page 4 need SEO services like article writing, backlinks, meta-tags, etc., if all they had to do was list in Google Places?
My theory is that many, many, many businesses list with Google Places, so maybe then Google goes with other factors that determine who among everyone is part of the lucky 7 on page one -- or is there something else that determines who is listed in Google Places?
It just stops me in my tracks when I see businesses (that do not even have a website) posted way up on top of page one, complete with map and location marked.
So my crazy question is why go through all the typical SEO strategies when just using GooglePlaces will put you on page one so easily?
I feel like I'm answering my own question, but it also feels like I'm just guessing until I can get confirmation from some of you guys.
Thanks!
