1. Hawaii Google Plus Local for 2012

Over 70% of internet traffic is expected to come from mobile devices by
late 2012. Your Hawaii Google Plus Local page is set up to show up
properly on people cell phones, which will give you access to this
rapidly growing class of customers. Most of your competitors, even
those with sophisticated websites are probably not set up to be viewed
properly on cell phones - a real advantage to those who are wise
enough to take quick action. Hawaii Google Plus Local can help your
business get listed on Google Plus Local.
2. For businesses serving their local market, advertising and reaching your
clients has gotten easier - at least for those savvy enough to take
advantage of the huge marketing gift Google offers through its Google
Plus Local service.
It is remarkable is the fact that Google Plus Local has essentially created
pages not only for those businesses who already have web sites, but for
millions of businesses that don't have a web presence. The trick though
is to claim your web page and, once claimed, to get them to appear in
the search results for your local market.

3. Claiming your Google Plus Local site is easy, yet staying on top of the
local market requires some extra steps. Start by filling out your
company's information as completely as possible. Get testimonials from
other sources and get reviews to maintain top positioning.
For most businesses, the initial challenge is to get their business
information to the 100% complete level. Since less than 20% of all
Google pages have been claimed so far, you may already find your
business already on the first page of Google. If your business is not
already on the first page, you can significantly increase your chances of
getting there just by claiming your site.
As more and more businesses claim their sites, those who do the best
job of completing their information are likely to be ranked higher than
those who only do a partial job.
If you fill in just the basics that include company name, street address,
city, town, state and zip, plus your main phone you will get credit for
40% completion. Adding your website and email address adds another
15%. If you don't have a web site, set up a Squidoo page or even a
Facebook fan page and enter its URL for your company's web site
because your site's address is worth 10% so it's important to get a web
address of some sort. It's estimated that as many as 50% of small
businesses do not have a web site.
4. Entering any type of description of your business adds another 5%, but
don't strive just to get the 5%. Provide enough information to let your
prospective customers know what you can do for them.
Ensure you add hours of operation, even if you don't really have hours
of operation, since you get an extra 5% for that information. You'll get
another 5% for setting any of the payment options too.
All of this is straight forward, yet Google and its users love pictures and
videos. You'll find space for 10 pictures and they want you to use all ten
slots to get full credit. So get out your digital camera and take pictures
of your logo, your front door, yourself, your staff, your product,
yourself at work or what ever. Clearly the more business and value-
related these pictures are, the better they will convert your prospective
customers into paying customers.
Your photos don't have to professional, studio-quality pictures, yet the
better the image, the better the impression. This rule is also true for
the last big hurdle: video. Add one video to get full credit - your video
can be as simple as a quick video made using your digital camera or
phone, to something more sophisticated like a power point
presentation that outlines the reasons someone would want to do
business with you.
5. Finally, there is a place for additional details - entering a one line
statement adds 6% to your completion score.
Your first objective is to claim your site, followed by filling in details
about your business as much as you can. Go back and improve the
quality of the content next. Once you are done, you will have a Google
Plus Local Site that will show off your business.
