Google is now putting more emphasis on “local search results” than ever before! Small businesses in Litchfield Park, Goodyear, Avondale and Buckeye can now compete and in many instances rank higher than “the big boys” on Google!

Try searching for the phrase “coffee house goodyear” from your Smartphone, Ground Control ranks #1! Even above Starbucks! This isn’t because they use Pay Per Click advertising or because they spent $1,000′s on their website, it’s because they know the power of Google Places and have there Google Places Pages optimized!
