Google Local Canada, open for business

It looks like Google Local is now open for business in Canada. (I find the process of submitting your business a bit strange.)

Step 1: search for something with a locale specific phrase (e.g. vancouver web design)

Step 2: click on one of the local results

Step 3: scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Information for Business Owners

Step 4: add your business

Step 5: wait for an envelope in the mail that has a PIN to activate your listing!

Regardless, for anyone that has a local customer base, I would recommend following these simple steps. It never hurts to promote your business, especially if the only cost is a small amount of time.

PS. Yours Truly is still showing up as #8 for Vancouver Web Design. 🙂
