They’ve Got 20 Cards Now, But More Are Coming, Get Your Local SEO Act Together!


We recently got our hands on Google Now and we have been playing around with it for a while now. The application is a huge improvement over Apple’s Siri in processing speed, accuracy and a natural voice tone! I mean, Siri was the greatest thing to happen in mobile voice recognition, but now Google has taken over and created a huge gap with its voice recognition and contemplative abilities. It is almost magical how Google Now updates you on your schedules, the traffic congestion, your restaurant bookings, appointments, game scores and almost any information you search on your Android mobile.

The concept of cards is just wonderful in that it creates updatable pieces of graphical information that can be tracked and found with just the swipe of your finger across the top of the screen, right where you fish for notifications! Google Now works when you have internet history activated, and you will also require a data plan to feed the needs of the application.

At present, Google Now works with 20 different cards and Google promises more in the future. Using the existing set of 20 cards, you can find almost everything that you might ever need if you are an average Joe with average needs. From the local SEO standpoint, this does not affect many businesses barring those in the hospitality industry, but given the promise of more cards, we think it is time you got all the loose ends together.

This latest addition from Google makes it all the more important for local business to optimize their websites in order to survive through the competition online. We think that since this is a Google service, a lot of the information displayed will be influenced by Google+ Local Pages. If you have not created one yet, head over to Google+ and make one right away. You may also want to check out our post on making a highly optimized Google+ page for your business here.
