Here at 3PRIME we’ve taken a dedicated approach to Local Marketing. Much of the reason we’ve gone this route is because of Google’s focus on connecting users with local businesses. In large part, this change has seen the rise of Google Places, where businesses show off their location as well as reviews submitted by customers. Google has just taken a step to increase the importance of their local listings by purchasing Zagat Ratings. Read the rest of this entry »

3PRIME recently started work for Washington Memorial Funeral Home. They’re based out of North Haven and they are yet another local company that we’ve had the pleasure to work with. Washington Memorial takes great pride in their work, and their attention to detail in all aspects of services is second to none.

Google connects millions of people each day to a wide array of different businesses and services. One of the interesting ways they do this is with Google Places. 3PRIME has been setting up and optimizing Google Places accounts for our customers for over a year now.

Our Google Places service includes claiming and optimizing the places pages, and then promoting them through a variety of methods that have been tested to offer the greatest benefit for our clients. Recently, 3PRIME set up the Google Places account for Image Paint & Powerwashing. They’re based out of Brandford, CT and as always, we’re honored to work with a local company.

If you guys get a chance, take a look at the new 3PRIME Google Profile page. On it you’ll find some photos of quality team building exercises and several other interesting tidbits. We think these profile pages are pretty neat, what do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below.

Do people still say neat?

SEO used to be a lot harder in those days… Link-building brochures alone took weeks to compile. Via Tumblr.

Have you seen this? I think it’s like “just shy of spam”.

Has anyone seen the new Google Image search lately? I did one today and it was honestly jarring at first. I had a severe “Wait, where am I?” moment and I had to check my URL. The image description and titles are gone, unless you scroll over one, which enlarges it and makes it “pop out” from the rest of the results. Also, moving from one results page to another is seamless and I can scroll from page 1 to 20 in about ten seconds.

The new results page for image searches is really aesthetically pleasing (don’t believe me? Check out this search I did on waterfalls) and I wonder if this is a sign of things to come. What do you guys think?

I mainly use Google alerts for Link alerts, to see when Google “publicly” acknowledges that they have discovered a link to a specific domain or URL. I also use web alerts to find instances of content mentioned certain phrases.

Google has now announced that they are re-naming these. So now web alerts will be everything alerts, and most likely we won’t experience any significant change in our usage and benefits from this free service.

I do think it is notable that this follows the changes to their SERPs, the pages on which valuable keyword placed results are displayed to potential customers. As SERPs become more varied, displaying “everything” results (video, blog comments, items from gmail connected users) this has got expose in greater detail the way that they connect all this recorded content together around it’s keywords, and fence off what is “of interest” for you, as the creater of the everything alert.

Enjoy!

Looking for Internet statistics? Google, probably as a response to searches for statistics websites, went ahead and created a portal for viewing internet statistics on core subjects like

• Macro-economic trends
• Technology
• Consumer Trends
• Media Consumption
• Media Landscape

We have only begun to see what this can do but the most intriguing opportunity to us is the ability to submit statistics to google.

We are considering utilizing some of our clients extensive industry experience and authoring informational articles on statistics that we can back up and then submitting them.

What statistics would you offer?
