One of our clients recently came to us asking how they could promote a new shop they were opening up in Orlando. They were worried simply adding the store location to their primary website wasn’t going to be enough. We created a short breakdown of things they needed to do and most of the items could also be done for any business.
On top of that list was promoting the new location on Google’s Local Business Center Search: Google Local Business Center.
Adding the new location to Google will often allow it to show in the maps section in searches. So, if someone is searching for “dry cleaners” and they are located in Orlando, there’s a good chance that Google will return a map of results of dry cleaners in orlando first, followed by typical textual listings beneath it.
Adding businesses this way often allows companies to show very quickly at the top of Google searches for their main keywords.

Saturday, March 27th, 2010
At one of my client’s office every one of their employees uses notebooks. Where you used to only primarily find notebooks being used by employees in sales or those who traveled a lot, now you see a growing number of companies giving their employees mobile PCs instead of desktop PCs.
The lines are blurring between distinctions of mobile device types. Mobile phones, netbooks and notebooks are all growing in popularity in both the workplace and at home. 2010 is assuredly destined to be known as the year of the iPad and iPad like devices.
Since these devices don’t typically have what is considered “standard” screen sizes, it is important that web designers and developers design websites for their clients that look good and function correctly on all resolutions and across all browsers and operating systems.
For all of our clients, VolveMedia makes sure all browsers and operating systems are supported. VolveMedia has been working with the iPad sdk to ensure all our clients’ mobile sites are scaling correctly.
With many more iPad like devices coming out this year designer and developers will need to work hard to make sure clients’ sites are optimized for Android the iPad and the upcoming new Windows Mobile OS update.
