I use Google+ for my own business as well as my clients. When Google+ came out with the local pages feature I immediately jumped into it to find out how I can improve the keyword rankings in the Organic Listings for my local clients. One of the Keywords i use is "Mattress Stores" for a local client called Furniture Closeouts located in Bullhead City AZ. I had set up a Google Places account as well as a Google+ account a while back for the business and linked them together. I was getting mixed results in the SERPs as those keywords were ranking in the top 5. I added a Local page the other day to my Google+ account for Furniture Closeouts, uploaded some pictures and videos and tagged them. The results shown below are already showing up for the #1 spot Here is a link to the Local page i created the other day: Furniture Closeouts Here is the Link to the Query I used on Google+: Mattress Stores Screenshot below. While its paying off in Google+ I am still in the top 5 results on Google search for those keywords.i will do some more optimizing and see what happens
Mobile Search With everything going mobile and as more people use the Google+ App for their local searches I'm sure it will increase the foot-traffic to their local business. However most people still use their default search app on their smartphones, so I need to do some more SEO in order to gain the #1 spot in the Organic Listings.

Many a times I have heard my friends and other business related friends asking me to go for these SEO to spread my customer base. But I am of the opinions that if my business works well and meets customers’ expectation and exceeds them, the words of mouth marketing will make me go places. I have recently used industrial vending in my business and have found good results in terms of increased efficiency and easy inventory. These give me more time to focus on quality and satisfy my customers and climb the rungs of success without using any jack. It is all a game of perception.
