Real & Works updated their range of Google NAP listing solution for local businesses interested in optimizing their online presence and drastically increasing the required criteria for Google 3 pack selections that leads to faster and better ranks this fuels increased customer inquiries.

Real & Works, a company providing SEO marketing solutions for local and international businesses, launched an updated range of Google NAP listing services for clients interested in making their business more visible.

The company has extensive experience providing comprehensive and superior marketing services, including fully managed SEO packages, page optimizations, local SEO solutions and project management.

More information can be found at https://realandworks.com/local-nap-listing-ranking-in-2019.Whenever someone searches for a local service online, Google shows a map among the organic search results without requiring people to perform another click. This pack of local businesses is displayed after any paid ads and before the organic search results, so it is very important for local businesses to get featured into this pack.

Specifically, when a potential customer is not searching for their business name but doing a search for the type of service they offer, Google will list the most relevant businesses in what is called a 3 pack. Thus, of the top 3 businesses on Google, the customer is most likely to select one of these 3 and very seldom search for other options.

According to Real & Works, there are two main aspects of optimizing for the Local Pack. First, clients have to prepare their GMB page and then they have to optimize their website for a local SEO run.

When creating or claiming their GMB profile, every small business owner has to include the business name, business type, the premises address, hours of operations, the main phone number and a link to their website. This is an essential component to get their listings higher, so it is very important that their NAP (name, address and place) is exact and correct.

The fastest way to get listed in the 3 pack is with the help of a professional team that knows exactly how to list businesses on Google.

Real & Works offers a wide range of services for local businesses, including fixing old citations to get high authority citations, featuring businesses on high authority sites that lead to high authority NAP citations, and getting their clients’ businesses ranked in the 3 pack.

New Mediacontinues to rake in the awards with a category clean-up at the Pearl Awards, which were held in New York last Friday. In the Best Print Experience (B2C) category, New Media won both the gold and silver awards with their publications for Sanlam and Woolworths. 

Taking gold, the Sanlam Centenary magazine was one of a series of publications produced for Sanlam to celebrate its 100th birthday in 2018. Woolworths TASTE magazine took the silver for the March 2018 edition of the incredibly successful monthly title. Elizka Ferreira, head of foods marketing for Woolworths says, “We are immensely proud of the experience that New Media creates for our customers in TASTE, and to have that recognised on the international stage is phenomenal.” 

Although primarily a digital content and strategy agency, New Media is thrilled to receive these awards for two printed products. The results reaffirm its belief in print as a powerful solution in the right circumstances. Both products illustrate how careful planning, a relentless focus on excellence and the very best talent can come together to create wonderful reader experiences in what is fast becoming the premium channel of print.  New Media’s group creative director Crispian Brown adds: “Although very different in subject matter, audience and purpose, Centennial and TASTE share a basic DNA for creating great content: a good brief, a client who trusts and collaborates with you, a clear strategy and the best creatives focussing on their craft. A good print execution should pique interest irrespective of where people choose to start reading, and surprise and delight the more they explore.” 

Run by the Content Council in the USA, the Pearl Awards receive hundreds of entries and recognise the very best in content excellence around the world. The awards ceremony was hosted in New York at Hearst Tower on Friday and agencies from the USA, UK, Sweden, Canada, Australia and South Africa were recognised for their world-class work. 

Aileen Lamb, MD of New Media says, “Both Sanlam and Woolworths are long-standing clients of New Media and, in both cases, the relationship of trust allows New Media to push the boundaries of creativity, put the customer first, and invest in quality talent and resources. I want to congratulate our clients and thank them and our teams for their relentless pursuit of excellence and their willingness to always make it one step better. The excellence that has been rewarded in these two products is backed up by a body of varied and excellent of work for both Sanlam and Woolworths of which we are very proud.”
