For some clients, we create and/or optimize their Google Places listings. JI in the Philippines is our go to guy for that. This post is meant to give you some general knowledge about Google Places listings and what we do.

Google Places is also called Google Local (and used to be called Google Maps). Search on couples counselor denver and you’ll see something like this:

Ranking success depends on many factors, including the organic strength of the site, the optimization of the listing, itself, and most importantly, the number of reviews the client gets.
