For small businesses like dental practices, this is important. More patients, or would-be patients, use Google Maps to find you.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u00a0just released an updated version of their map app with a sleek new interface and new features that, among other things, make it easier for users to write reviews. Not to be outdone, Apple has released an improved map app that is also loaded with new features designed to make it competitive with Google Maps.<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0Google Maps, according to industry observers, remains the gold standard. Given its prominence, it&#8217;s important that your practice is on it. Getting on Gooogle Maps only takes a few steps, and it begins with claiming your practice on Google My Business.<\/p>\n<p>ProspectaMarketing\u00a0is here to help you get the most out of your Internet presence.
