This book is excellent! I’m not really an internet person; however, this book is very easy to understand and helped me get my business on the front page of Google. It was very easy to follow and non-technical. I’d recommend it to anyone!

A quick and to-the-point book about how to get your brick-and-mortar business listed on Google. As well, the book offers the tips and tricks you need to know to make your ranking higher. I know this about business owners: most are passionate about whatever widget or service they are selling but few have skills in marketing. For most biz owners, they need the basics of SEO (search engine optimization) clearly and succinctly explained to them.
With this book, a business owner (who may or may not have a building) can now easily learn a step-by-step blueprint to making an impact on the mysterious Google process and move their business to the top of the local search results. For example, the author’s suggestion about how to solicit and get legitimate reviews is very good and not one that is at first evident to the average Google user.
Every business owner experiences sales people trying to sell them the latest advertising gimmick- gimmicks that are expensive and usually with no real payback. I think that the investment in this book will give you an ROI that far exceeds the results of what most advertising brings. So, biz owners: get the book, read it carefully, follow the steps, do the work, be patient and see your rankings (and your foot traffic) grow.

First the basics, this book is a rip off. Its short, very short. Even though the book uses insanely large type and spacing, and even though the book is padded with pictures and large paragraphs quoting US patents (seriously it pads itself by quoting patents) it still only manages to fill 81 pages. Some of the “chapters” in this book are less than 1000 words, I’m not exaggerating.
Ok so its short and padded, but how informative is it. The answer is not all, the first half of the book simply covers terms and then explains how to add your business to the Google local business directory. Anyone who knows what the term SEO means will already know how to and most likely already be listed in the Google local directory.
Maybe you are thinking that once he gets into the actual SEO part of the book is when he tells you the secrets. Nope the rest of the book just tells you some free directories to list your business in and then the book is padded with information about how to add photos and videos to your Google listing.
There is no actual SEO information in this book. It’s information that you already know and most likely have already done. Pure misleading rip off.

I was looking for a book to help improve my company’s visibility on the Internet, especially with Google searches. I found this book on Amazon and thought it would help me achieve my goal, and it certainly did! This book has nice structure; I was surprised at how easy it was to follow giving me step-by-step instructions on how to improve my company’s listing position on Google. The book was very clear and wasn’t filled with nonsensical information like most business help books. I’m very pleased with what I’ve learned and I’ve applied it. I’m happy to say I’ve seen my company’s site reach the front page of Google search results and since more hits on my website.
