This is not a Joomla-specific recommendation, but can be extremely useful, so I am including it, to help your site come up on Google searches. This is in addition to adding your site to Google at http://www.google.com/addurl/. Most firms don't know that they can have their name, address, website and other specifics listed in Google, in a way that will make their business and its website come up more easily.
This will take a minute or less, it's free, and can be as productive as all the work you can do on Search Engine Optimization, that can take hours or hundreds of dollars.
- Go to Google Maps, and in the lower left portion of the page, click on Add or Edit your business
- Click Add a new listing
- Fill out the information, including website address. You can list your areas of specialization, office hours and a brief description of your practice.
- You will be asked for confirmation, by telephone or by mail. Include a contact who will know why Google is calling your office.
With this simple step, when people search an area for a given business, it is more likely that your name, address and website will come up on the Google search. It will take Google a week or two to add your particulars to their listings.
