I appreciate the link, but I don't see where I'm supposed to go from here? There's no link or site? Can you give me further instructions?
Thanks, Britain

This is the one I want to shout out, as an inn goers it is always difficult to find this info on mom and pop websites! It is the first and foremost info:
NAP + W (Name, Address, Phone + Website)
We have been teaching, but mostly preaching to our Innkeepers that your NAP + W must be consistent EVERYWHERE online for the past 3 years, ever since the 7-Pack became prominent in October of 2010. If you have spelled your Inn name or your Physical address in a variety of ways, or used multiple phone numbers online, you are causing your placement to not rank as high as it could be. The more “differences” there are online the more time it is going to take to correct all of those “differences”. And THEY MUST BE CORRECTED if you want to increase your Local Placement in Google.
