Many small businesses either cannot afford a professional SEO or they simply don’t have a website.  For those businesses, there is a solution and it is free.

Google Business Center is an excellent solution for getting your business found, but really should be treated as a temporary fix.  Many businesses are already listed, but the information could be outdated.  By searching for your business you may find 5 or more listings, all of your business.  And if the information is incorrect you are losing out.

What I suggest is finding those listings, if they do exist, and go through the claiming process.  If you cannot find your business listing, then just go to the Goolge Business Center add page and add your business.  It is a relativly easy process but if you do get stuck just post a comment with your question and I should be able to help you out.
