Marking out your territory on Google Maps

Who else knows where you are? Do you own your own location in Google Maps?

I just discovered, via Danny Sullivan’s SearchEngineLand.com (thanks Danny!) that Google LatLong is the blog for the Google Earth and Maps team.

Think globally, mark locally is a posting that features some very specific information about how to take control of your own location, but also, most interestingly for me as a marketer, the ability to move markers and set locations for other businesses in Australia, New Zealand and USA.

I’m going to play around with it, set a few markers for my clients businesses and let them know I have “staked a claim” on their behalf. Let’s see what the marketing potential of this can be…

“think blogally, market locally” - an interesting twist of the phrase that links to the blog posting.

http://www.google.com.au/search?q=%22think+blogally%2C+market+locally%22+&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

“Did you mean: “think globally, market locally”

No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.

Your search - “think blogally, market locally” - did not match any documents.”

Great, I have just coined a new phrase!

Suggestion to anyone in Australia, New Zealand and USA reading this posting : go forth and claim your business listing NOW, take ownership of it before someone else does.
