I mentioned in my previous post that Google offers an easy to configure coupon feature as part of your listing in Google Maps Local Listings. Here's how you get started.
First go to Google Maps Local Business Center. Enter the details of your coupon. As you enter the text, you can see the actual coupon being built in the Preview section on the right side of the page. Click the Continue button and you'lla table listing of your coupon offers.
Of course, you can have multiple coupon offers active at one time.
If you choose to have coupons expire, you'll need a tracking system to replace the expiring coupons. It's always good to coordinate these coupons with your marketing campaigns - the tricky part is to keep track of them.
Finally, be sure to take advantage of the Offer Code that Google offers when creating an online coupon. This will help you keep track of the effectiveness of each coupon you create.
Happy couponing!

Using Google Maps for Free Company Listing - Part II
So let's get your company on the map - Google Map, that is. First start by heading to Google Maps web page for Business Listings.
By the way, you'll need a Google account, for which you can register on this same page. A Goolge account is the passport you'll need for many free Google services like blogging and free web page creation tools so dive in and get registered if you need to.
Once you have your account, sign in on the same page. You'll see a page on which you'll add your business location information. Notice at the top of the screen that you're inputting your information on the Location tab.
Did you notice the Coupon tab? Google allows you to offer coupons to attract customers who find you through Google Maps. Pretty cool, huh? I'll tell you about Coupons in my next post.
But back to getting your company into Google Maps. Finish entering the required information. Then you'll receive a confirmation letter from Google. Once you respond to the verification, your company should be accessible via Google Local Listings in a few weeks.
You can also place a link for your company location on your website to provide a tailored map to your location.
Good stuff and best of all, it's for free!
