Google Map - Have You Guys Tried This


I am trying to find anyone who has ever tried this and if so did it work? I was contacted by a guy who says he can get me the top ten listing in Google for the local search by the map. I wanted to get there but never know how he also is very affordable, one time small fee, but I don't know if he is legit, Anyone? He gave me references to call and showed me before and afters, but I was hoping someone had done this before. So for example if you Googled roofig company seattle, you would see a map with a-j listing, he say he can me there? do you guys know? yes i posted this in another fourm trying to get someone who knows to answer? thanks Chaz

Oh young grasshopper, you have so much to learn. You could be your own SEO. That would make you your own best friend.

Double posting is not only
annoying, confusing, and rude,
it's against forum rules.

Re: Google Map - Have You Guys Tried This


It seems like it would almost be a needed to get different information from different people? If I only post to the roofers, how would a person who does masonry and never looks under roofing ever reply to the post if he indeed has an answer. Is it not smart to collect data from several different sources, people etc to make an educated decison? Just curious. I guess I should have read the rules. I will do that now. Do you know where it is in the terms? Was hoping not to have the read them all? thanks

What you're asking could have went in several different locations, but it will still show up when we click on "new posts" and everyone will have a chance to respond.

You would read the plans before building a house, right? Read the rules before posting and go ahead and put your location in your profile.

Apparently he's a very
selective reader.

Or I'm just too damn subtle?

Re: Google Map - Have You Guys Tried This


See my "Location" in my "profile" is Tracy, CA. It helps to know what area of the country people are from. We can relate better and sometimes respond better, if we know where you are from.
