Maine SEO Project: Migis Lodge (Local Search and Google Maps)
Last week we finished up another SEO project, this time for another property in the True North Hospitality Partners family: Migis Lodge. The Lodge is a resort right on Sebago Lake up in South Casco, Maine.
Like many businesses in the hotel and resort industry, local search visibility will be key for Migis. They already have an ideal location: right on Maine’s second biggest lake – Sebago.
One of the more interesting things that happened with this project was, being in a somewhat remote location, we found that Google Maps had Migis’ location wrong. (Google got something wrong. Pause for reaction.) Admittedly, they have the correct street, but the location of the Lodge is actually on the water, which isn’t being shown accurately. This is the current picture shown:
Using Google Local Business Center, we were able to use what I think is one of the coolest tools, relocating the resort to its proper location:
Checking, verifying, and submitting your local listings is quick and easy – so always be sure you take the time to do it!
For a stay on Sebago Lake at the gorgeous Migis Lodge, be sure to make a reservation. Also, keep up with what’s going on at Migis by checking out their blog!
