How To Get Free Advertising On Google

Did you know you can get ranked number 1 on Google for free using Google Local Business Center and Google Maps?

Google Local helps your advertisements show up in Google searches that are made in close proximity to your business which will help you get more traffic, leads and sales.

In the image below you can see the free local google listing again but this time you can also see my paid advertising at the top (highlighted in yellow) which I have paid for through Google Adwords. I use Google Adwords to ensure that I get clicked first no matter what.

























Anyway, keep reading to find out how to get to number 1 on google for free.


What You Need To Get Free Advertising On Google
Before you jump in and get your free advertising on Google you will need to have these things:

* An account with Google.
* A short description of your business for when a user clicks on your business name.
* The phone number(s), addresses and any other contact information you want to advertise. Remember that the phone number will show up on the results page.
* A logo and/or image(s) of your business and products.


How To Get Free Advertising On Google
1. Go to www.google.com/local and search for your business to verify that it is not already listed.
2. Go back to www.google.com/local and click “Put your business on Google Maps” found in the left side bar.
3. Follow the simple steps provided by Google. You will be asked to verify your business by phone or SMS. A good tip is to to not put your full address into Google but rather the largest town in your area. For example I live about 20 minutes outside of Newcastle in suburbia and not as many people would search for ‘graphic designer cardiff’ as they would ‘graphic designer newcastle’. I also do not want to show my home address on Google Maps as I freelance from home so this is a good way around it.
4. Come back in a few weeks and see if your listing is up. My listing took about 3 weeks to show up and started off in position D and somehow moved to position A… I am not sure how this is controlled but I won’t complain.
5. Well there we have it, you can now get free advertising on Google. You can track and edit your listing by going back to the Google Local page.

Google Adsense Money through Western Union

By using Western Union, its a lot cheaper cause the transaction will cost about RM10 which Western Union have already deducted in the first place. So during withdrawal time, my local bank didn’t impose any extra charges on it. Last month I used to receive payment by cheque and banking foreign cheque will cost me RM30 per check.

The below is the steps taken to withdraw the Western Union payment.
1. Login into you Adsense account.
2. Click My Account tab
3. Click Payment History on the sub menu.

4. Under payment history page, click on the “details” on the current payment issue month. See image below











5. After that, you should see the payment details page. Inside this page, it will show your money transfer control number (MTCN). See image below.





















6. With the image MTCN and Google address on hand, now you can visit your local bank which support Western Union. Normally they will have Western Union logo on their bank.





7. Withdraw it via my local CIMB BANK. Just fill in the Western Union form (see below image) and produce your NRIC / MyKad to the cashier and they will do the rest for you.
