Google Maps Favorite Places

I received this (awesome) letter from Google today and thought it was cool enough to share:

Dear Business Owner,Congratulations! You’re a Favorite Place on Google. Between July 1and September 30, Google users found
your PDX Freelancers – Website Designers in Portland business listing ****** times, and requested driving
directions or other information about your business **** times.

Because you’re so popular, we’re enclosing a window decal that shows customers you’re a “Favorite Place
on Google.” The sticker includes a special bar code that potential customers may scan with cameras on their
phones. Then they can see your business listing on Google, read and write reviews, and add you as a favorite
right there. We encourage you to put up this decal so potential customers know that you’re a Favorite Place
on Google.

With the holiday shopping season here, we encourage you to update your free Google listing right away. It’s
easy to check if your hours, address, and business description are correct. We also recommend you add
photos, videos, and even coupons to help your business stand out. All of this is free. You’ll notice the results
every time someone says, “We found you on Google.”

Congratulations on your popularity on Google. We look forward to providing you with more and better ways
to grow your business.

Sincerely,
Michaela Prescott
The Google Local Business Team
