BAMMO Alert…

* Recently Google introduced what they call: Google Carousel. It triggers local branded searches at the top of the search results page, as a slider of images in a horizontal bar display.

Question? – How do you ensure that you are not losing traffic to the likes of Yelp, Foursquare, etc. in the Google Carousel? … What’s a Carousel (btw)?!

Answer: Be sure to properly set-up your Google Places for your Business a and/with your G+ page [as noted in this Chapter], which provides pertinent information about your biz. Ensure that your high-quality images are placed in sequence of importance. And, have your customers review your business on your G+ page.

Note: Make sure that your positive reviews are placed by your customers using their own computers ‘away’ from your local wi-fi access. This will prevent Google from kicking-out reviews that appear to be generated (beyond your own computer) from your store location.

A Google search result example (below) regarding ‘the Carousel’
… using the Keyword search: ‘San Diego Pizza’.
