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
