How can I get my small business listed on Google?

Q. Do you notice that if you type in the name of most mid sized or larger businesses in Google, it will come up with all kinds of information (including services, products, contact, about us)

I have submitted my small business to Google many times but nothing. I would like to have the full description come up just like regular larger companies. How is this done?

A. The trick is to include the keyword in your title. And to place your address in free classified ads which are google friendly. Why do you pay for it when you can do it free?

First, start a google search with the keyword "free classifieds ...................." (replace the ......... with the country you like to advertise).

Note down the classified sites' names and start posting your ads in it. Include the keyword in your title. But it should not blatantly look like you are doing it.

I have another idea. Start a search with your keyword. Save the first page (first page only) as "Test1.htm". Wait for one week. Again do it after one week. Save the result as "Test2.htm". Now compare both. Look for people who are in both. Use their keywords in your ad.

How we can find a small business subsidies for our very young company?
Q. Me, and my partner heard from somewhere that we can apply for free financial subsidies who help to newly established small business. We checked in Google, but the information over there is so randomized. We are a new Employment Agency, based in Brooklyn NY and we just opened our office.
We guess that the help may be Government or Private (financial subsidies/sponsorship) and that's why we was wondering how we can find the right person or source?
Thank you for your time and patience!

A. There are no grants for a for profit business unless you are opening a daycare. If you need money, you will need to apply for a loan. No lender will talk to you unless you provide them with a valid business plan. Go to http://www.sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplan.com for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plan.

Then, go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss various loan options available to you.
