		<description>Hey Doug,

Here&#039;s a few things to try.

1. Google is notoriously slow with it&#039;s updates for Google local. Can take 1-2 months.

2. Make sure your address and phone number are all listed on your website. Try putting them in your footer if you&#039;re still not getting results.

3. Get listed in local directories and make sure it has your address and phone number on them. Hotfrog is one example, Truelocal is another. (I think Truelocal is Australia only)

4. Get people to write a review on your Google Local listing

Cheers,
