Tips and tricks for managing your business with Google’s solutions
Signing up for Google Tags is Quick and Easy
Wednesday, September 15, 2010
We get it: as a local business owner, you’re busy. Really busy. That’s why throughout the development of
Google Tags
- our online advertising offering available through
Google Places
- we’ve been acutely aware of the need to create something simple, easy, fast and effective for you and the potential customers looking for you online.

You
may have heard
about our recent promotion inviting business owners who are new to Google Tags to take advantage of a
free 30-day trial
. That trial is still going on, and we’re also excited to announce that we’ve streamlined the sign-up process into three easy steps. Now, it’s even easier to set up the little yellow tag in your business listing and start attracting more local customers for your business!
If you’ve already verified your free business listing in Google Places, sign in to your Google Places dashboard to begin:
1. Click “Add a Tag” from the dashboard
2. Select one of the seven available tag types, and follow the prompts. For example, if you choose a post tag, enter a note about the the unique aspect of your business that you want to highlight in the empty box.
3. Enter your credit card information. If you’ve never tried Google Tags before and are eligible for the free trial, your first month will be free!
Business owners can typically complete the sign-up process in less than five minutes. With that speed, you can get back to all the other tasks that require your attention to keep growing your success!
We’re thrilled that thousands of local businesses have already been using Google Tags to attract and connect with local customers since it became
available throughout the U.S. this summer
. And if you’re a business owner that hasn’t yet claimed your listing in Google Places, learn more about that
simple process
, and then follow the same three-step tags process. This new sign-up flow is one the many features we’re working on to make the product even more efficient. As a reminder, Google Tags is usually offered for a $25 flat monthly fee, and does not affect the ranking of the business listings on Google.com or Google Maps.
