Hey Doctors, Claim Your FREE Business Listing On Google Today

Today, I’d like to discuss an important and FREE online marketing tip for your medical practice, whether you’re a plastic surgeon or dentist: you must claim your business listing on Google. Why? If you don’t claim your practice on Google, then Google will just take whatever information it can find online and create a listing for you. Easy enough, right? Wrong. How come? If Google creates your business listing for you, then your listing may not contain completely relevant information and therefore give a false impression of your practice. What’s worse is that people can easily edit unclaimed listings and negatively affect your online reputation as well. And having a poorly represented listing on Google won’t help your online marketing efforts any bit. Hence, the real easy way is to do it yourself…rnOnline Marketing with Google Places The good news is claiming your listing on Google is actually pretty easy.
