You’ll also find links to a dozen or more online resources, many free or low cost, to help you get found on the top of Google using this strategy.

Here’s an interesting update…

Since I did the webinar last week, things have got even better for Concord Massage Therapist, Lisa Wisen. One of the videos that I uploaded as part of this demonstration was ranked in the number one spot in Google.

Yesterday, I did a search for “massage concord” and I see that two instances of the video are now appearing as thumbnails on the first page of Google. That’s fantastic!

It now looks like this…

These are some of the most clicked links on a search results page and Lisa will definitely benefit from that exposure.

If you want to get found on the first page of Google using short, easy to make videos, watch the webinar replay now.

Another free resource…

Google wants to help you get found in search results. That’s why they’ve created the GOOGLE LOCAL portion of their search marketing business and are investing heavily into the local search market.

You can get local visitors to your site, but that you can dominate your local competition in the search engines. I’ve given shared various strategies with you in the past regarding this and the video marketing approach is a powerful one.

David Frey who hosted the Referral Masters Telesummit earlier this year is doing another telesummit on web marketing and he has as a guest a local search marketing expert named Brian Combs who will be sharing his strategies such as:

* How you can dominate your local search engine traffic with 3 simple tweaks to your website
* The key factors to getting your listing on Google Local
* A tried-and-true strategy to getting your business in front of your local consumers overnight

This is basic stuff for me, but it may be very eye-opening for you. You can listen to the broadcast for free today only: “How Local Businesses Can Dominate Their Local Web Listings And Be Found By Their Most Wanted Clients Through Simple But Extremely Powerful Search Engine Optimization Tactics”

First Page Listing with Google Local Business Center

You’ll want to read about this tool for sure because I’m going to show you the easiest way to get found at the top of Google search results even if you don’t have a website… and it’s even free!

I’ve been preaching it for years, but the message becomes more important with each passing month.

The web is replacing traditional advertising media, in particular the Yellow Pages which so many massage practices have relied on in the past.

People are now turning to the Internet to find local products and services… including massage!

Google recognized this trend years ago and has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in local search technology. They want to make sure that they have all local businesses listed in their system so they can provide searchers with the best possible results.

And Google makes it incredibly easy for you to get found by people who are looking for massage in your neighborhood by offering you a free local business listing that gets displayed at the top of their search results.

You can list as much or little information as you want including: your address, hours of operation, payment methods, photos of your storefront or products and even videos. It’s easy and you don’t need a website of your own. (And did I mention that they do this for free?)

How do you get your listing?

It’s easy. Just go to:

If you don’t already have a Google account, you can set one up for free. Then you basically fill in the blanks.

You’ll need to be verified by Google to ensure that you really are the business owner. If you are sitting by your business phone, they can do this right away. Otherwise they’ll send a postcard to the address provided to make sure that you are legit.

I could give you all the details of setting up your listing, but Google has a great video that you can view here:

One feature that you should absolutely make use of is the coupon feature. Google allows you to create a coupon and will display it prominently near Google Maps. This feature is hardly ever used by businesses, so it’s your chance to be the first on the scene and make an impression. Like your listing, it only takes a couple of minutes to complete.
