Three Google Freebies That Everyone Should Have

Posted in Search Engine Optimization, Web Development by Gregg on November 2, 2009

Here’s three freebies from Google that everyone should have on their website-almost no excuse! It’s not completely free in the sense that it’ll take some time to implement, but not much time.

1. Get Google Analytics – it will tell you how many visitors went to your site, and from what search engine, and where they went once they got there. Also-you can look at the reports yourself – you don’t need a techie to explain them to you. Check out the ‘overlay’ feature that shows you an overlay of statistics on top of your website.

2. Get Google Webmaster Tools – Web master tools let’s you know for sure that Google is crawling your site properly. If it’s not being crawled properly, Google will tell you why. You get some quick tips like you should have unique Title tags. It will also tell you if other sites are linking to broken links on your site.

3. Get on Google Maps – Google Maps puts a nice icon on their map right where your office is. There’s a quick registration process and they’ll snail-mail you a postcard to prove that you’re there. You then type in a code off the card onto their site, and you’re done.
