50 – 60 % of Local Businesses were kicked off the maps since the latest Google updates starting in September of 2009.  As of October 2010, Google is now integrating maps listings with your organic SEO page ranking.  How has your practice been affected by this latest restructuring ? 

• Did you know the Google Places, formerly known as the Google Local Business Center is a very powerful FREE marketing tool available to any local small business owner?
  
• Did you also know that only 2% of the millions of local businesses in the US have verified their listings in the Maps area?
  
• Many verified listings do not activate correctly and may affect your positioning in the local maps area.  Has this impacted your practice's web presence?
• Does your verified listing appear for all major orthodontic keywords when new patients are looking for you online?
• Does your website appear in neighboring local areas, increasing your exposure?
• How about reviews?  What are patients saying about you in the Google Places area?  How do you compare to competitors?
