5 Ways to Use Google for Your Business

This are quick notes that I jotted down when listening to a new clip about using Google web tools to help your business.

  1. Google Profiles

    Guaranteed page one of search for your business or name when you fill out a profile.

  2. Google Alerts

    Notifications of competitors or rapid response of your business and / or products. If there is a web posting to a blog, twitter, photo tags, etc., Google Alerts will send you a notification that you have been mentioned online.

  3. Google Places

    White pages are gone. Map the location of your business. Add your business to Places with profile, coupons, video, etc. pay extra for more.

  4. Cloud computing

    Applications and content are stored, managed and made available on servers in the internet (the cloud) and the documents become accessible from anywhere as you travel, share or collaborate.

  5. Google Trends

    Reports of what is going on in your industry.
