What is Google
Places?
Google Places is
Google’s way of giving local organisations an upper hand. There are so many
benefits to getting listed in Google Places that any charity or not-for-profit organisation
who’s not taking advantage of it is really missing a trick!
Should you be using
Google Places?
Add your charity or not-for-profit organisation to Google Places and you’ll
discover hundreds of advantages for advertising your organisation through this
free service. There are ten significant
advantages listed below.
1. Online
advertising like Google Places is
the way of the future, and it has already started to replace paper phone
directory listings that cost hundreds of pounds per year.
2. Google
Places is free.
3. Surpass Other More Established Rankings. Search engines are
notoriously difficult to get a ranking on. However, with Google Places, you can
quickly leap to the top of the listings even with a brand new website. Your organisation
will be displayed at the top of local searches for your organisation type.
4. You
can promote events for one day, one week, or one month.
5. Your
website, physical mailing address and your phone number are displayed in your
listing, which allows supporters to find you more quickly and to get the
information they need.
6. Mobile
phone users can find your organisation’s listing immediately and contact you on
the move.
7. You
will receive more traffic and new supporters.
8. You
don’t need a physical building location to get accepted into Google Places.
9. By
using citations and reviews, your Google Places will move up in ranking. With
high ranking within eight weeks, rather than eight months or eight years, your
free advertising with Google Places will bring you more targeted supporters
faster than traditional organic methods.
10. Finally,
and the most important to your fundraising goals, is that because it is so easy
for supporters to find your charity or not-for-profit organisation’s listing,
you will raise more funds than you did before your organisation was listed in
Google Places.
