You need to claim your listing. By claiming your listing, you can make edits to your profile page and add more information about your business. Google wants you to do this and make sure that it is up-to-date.
This is often an overlooked factor site (www.goodreads.com) - make sure your website has your contact details including your business name, address and phone number. If you can, put it on every page.
We used to buy stocking stuffers from huge superstores. They carried cheap, small and light stuff that would last one season and then break. We had a lot of people on our list, and we felt that we had to buy something for everyone. We still managed to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars every Christmas buying small junk for everyone. Most were not made in USA, and we obviously contributed to our trade deficit problem.
All you need to do is type in a keyword to find a local business catering in some type of service to see which ones come up first. Then, instead of looking at page 1 for the right businesses, scroll through to page 2 or beyond and you will find listings of businesses that will need your help. Some of these listings won't even have a website to begin with.
Now you have to go through Google Places and compile a list of businesses that aren't set up properly. When you have a list of 50 to 100 businesses who's websites are not properly optimized, your next step will be to contact them.
Even as recent as just 1 year ago,many local small business owners still thought that their local walk in traffic would remain steady and that their print ads in the phone book would sustain them. Well, fast forward a little and you'll see a total change of heart in these brick and mortar owners.
On the other hand, you may want to drill down inside of the niche and focus on specialty doughnuts. You might be able to convince customers that decorating doughnuts for parties and other get-togethers is a pretty cool thing to do. In addition, your shop can add to it services by offering decorating kits to people who might like to do this. It would also be a fun pastime for children at different times of the year. What better way to keep children occupied during the party than to have them decorate their own snack.
Videos- Google loves videos, they bought YouTube after all. So if you have a video about your business and what you do, post it on your Google Places listing.
