Google’s Near Me Now Important For Houston Online Marketing

If you’re a bricks and mortar business in Houston, particularly in the restaurant, coffee shop or bar industry, then be prepared for a big impact from Google’s newly released product, “Near Me Now”.

This application is for the iPhone and phones with the Google Android operating system at this stage, but will no doubt spread to others. Also at the moment, it is only available in the US market.

If you are not taking this new functionality into your Internet marketing strategy, you will be missing out on a powerful segment of the market.

“Near Me Now” identifies your geographical position and then displays on your phone a list of all nearby ATMs, restaurants, coffee shops and bars. It is certainly feasible that this would be extended to other business types in the future.

The availability of this application is a sure sign that if you don’t have a quality online presence with representation in the local business directory of the search engines, then you will most definitely miss out on business. Even worse, you could well be losing some of your existing customers.

As an astute business person, you need to realize the future of these types of applications and begin to do something about making sure your business is listed today.
