Google Places joins Facebook and why you should care!

To market effectively you need to be on the Map.

Earlier we shared How to Put Yourself on the Map!  Read it!  In a new push for Google they have joined Facebook to promote their new “tags” offering.  Tags is a way for Google to charge you money for preferred Map Listings.  It is more of a Directory Concept toward advertising.  A hybrid approach more similar to YP or Yahoo than traditional Google.

More on Tags later and much more on Google Places for Business!  In the meantime, flip over to Facebook and “Like” Google Places for Business so you can stay up-to-date.  While you are there please “like” (fan) http://www.facebook.com/Business.Help  Link for Google Places for Business found here.
