Google Tags – Make it Easy for Customers to Find You

Google has a new service called Google Tags and it places an eye-catching yellow tag next to your listing on Google Search and Google Maps. Use the tag to highlight coupons, customer reviews, or other helpful information that can help searchers choose you. It’s one way to make your listing stand out from the competition. Plus, it’s affordable and can be set up fairly quickly. If we peaked your interest keep on reading.

The Google Tag…
Google claims the tag increases traffic to your Google Places page while making your company easier to find. In the below example, a yellow tag appears next to a hotel listing.
