Add your business to Google Places, Local, Maps and Pages.

Start your Listing in Google Places.

Business listings are created in Google Places and once verified they are published to the Local database so they can be found on business searches on Maps and other Google products capable of querying the Local database.
This Local database was renamed Google+ Local when Google changed the display format of the Local listings to resemble the one in Google+ Pages.
Subsequently, Google allowed the creation of Google+ Pages under the category Local Business or Place.

Google has seen more than 30 trillion URLs and crawls 20 billion pages a day. One hundred billion searches are conducted each month on Google (3 billion a day) according to +Matt Cutts, so don't be too disappointed if you are not getting much traffic to your place.



The key is to be consistent and concentrate on your LOCAL area and MOBILE phone search for your Google Places page. 

According to Pew Research - the adoption figures are stunning by every measure—the cell phone is the most quickly adopted consumer technology in the history of the world—.

Augmented Reality Apps and the Future

Today only 60 million people use augmented reality apps on a regular basis. By 2018, that should hit 200 million, according to a new report by Juniper Research.
“Initial innovations will stem from games, such as Google #Ingress, but the technology will expand to include lifestyle and fitness apps,” Juniper says, adding that there is the possibility of a “paradigm shifting utilization of #AR within social media, potentially breaking the digital-physical wall with potential future uses allowing a digital representation of a person to appear in the users surroundings.” via VentureBeat

The Psychology of Colors in Advertising and Marketing

The Psychology of Colors in Advertising and Marketing

Kurt Geer


Are you stimulating emotions while marketing with your business logo, stationary, business cards, brochures, signs and with your website?If you know it or not, colors speak very loud to our subconscious and have a positive or negative reaction within 90 seconds. On the web you have less that 30 seconds to make a good first impression.Are you using the silent language of color to impress, motivate, divert and persuade your prospects to buy from you?

The following lists a partial summary of how colors stimulate with mental and emotional responses.

BLACK suggests authority, power, boldness, seriousness, is distinguishing and classic. Business wise it's great for creating drama and is good for a background color (except on websites, it is very hard on the eyes). It is ideal for text on a light background. Black also implies submission and is associated with evil.

BLUE suggests security, authority, faithfulness and dignity. For business it suggests sanctuary and fiscal responsibility. It is the most popular and the second most powerful color. Blue can also be cold and depressing. People are more productive in blue rooms.

BROWN suggests richness, politeness, helpfulness and effectiveness. In business it suggests less important items. Solid, reliable brown is the color of earth and is abundant in nature. Light brown implies genuineness while dark brown is similar to wood or leather.

GRAY suggests authority, practicality, earnestness and creativity. Business wise it is traditional andconservative.

GREEN suggests health, fertility, freedom, freshness, healing, tranquility and jealousy. Businesses use it to communicate status and wealth. It is the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing color.

ORANGE suggests pleasure, cool, excitement, cheer, endurance, strength and ambition. For business it is good for highlighting information on charts and graphs.

PINK suggests femininity, gentleness, well being and innocence. For business you must be aware of it's feminine links and implications.

PURPLE suggests spirituality, royalty, luxury, wealth, sophistication, authority and mournfulness. In business it is upscale and works with artistic types. It is also feminine and romantic. However, because it is rare in nature, purple can appear artificial.

RED suggests excitement, strength, sex, passion, vitality, aggressiveness and commands attention. Business wise it associated with debt, is great for boldness and accents. The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing.

WHITE suggests refined, purity, devotion, contemporary and truthfulness. For business it can be sterile and refreshing. The best color on the web for a background color. Doctors and nurses wear white to imply sterility.

YELLOW suggests warmth, sunshine, cheer, happiness, jealousy deceit and cowardice. Business wise it appeals to the intellectual types and is a good accent. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused.

Green, brown, and red are the most popular food colors. Red is often used in restaurant decorating schemes because it is an appetite stimulant.People respond more to non verbal cues than verbal ones. Make sure you use the psychology of colors in all your marketing, especially when you can't be face to face. It's important to match the emotion of your product or service you are promoting with the colors you are using.
