Google Local Coupons

home title Posted by Michelle Harrington on Feb 4th, 2010 | Comments Off home title

Yet another (Free) way to attract customers online.  Small businesses can use Google Local listings to promote special offers, discounts and giveaways, offering Google searchers incentive to choose your business above your competition.  By adding coupons to your listing in Google Maps, Google’s users can print your coupons and bring them to your business.  Coupons will appear alongside your business listing on Google Maps.  The more savings you offer, the more customers you’ll gain.

It’s free and it only takes a few minutes. Just enter a few lines of text for your coupon, set an expiration date, and tell Google which of your locations accept the coupon.  Users will start seeing your coupons within a few hours.

To take advantage of this feature, login to your Google Local Business Center and look for “View Report”, to the right of your Local listing.   You might want to check out the report while you are in there, as there should be some pretty neat stats on how often your local listing is getting shown/clicked on.  From this page look for the blue tab above labeled “Coupons”.   Choose “Add Coupon Now” and follow the instructions.  Here’s the information you’ll need to set up a coupon for your local listing.
