google maps
| Google Maps (formerly know as Google Local) is a web and satellite based mapping service application and technology provided by Google, free for non-commercial use, that powers many map-based services including the Google Maps website, Google Places, Google Ride Finder, Google Transit, and maps embedded on thousands of third-party websites and third-party applications. It offers satellite images, street maps, street images, a route planner for traveling by foot, car, or public transport and an urban business locator for numerous countries around the world. In 2008 Google Maps became integrated into Google web search results when it was determined that a good majority of searches placed online today were ones looking for a local result... like a restaurant, attorney, plumber, real estate agent, and so forth. Google Maps has become a crucial part of business Internet exposure, and in some cases MORE important that a website. At Growth Engine Incorporated, this is our primary focus; the optimization and management of your Google Places local listings business profile. View the related articles... |
