What an opportunity Google gives to businesses in Google Places. In comparison to high priced Yellow Pages ads, Google offers these listings at no cost and allows the business to post coupons, add images and video, post reviews and add citations. These are all ways that show people who search for that business that they are reputable and allows prospects and customers to get to know the business even before visiting.
