Maps and local services for business

Help nearby customers and visitors find accurate information about your business. Local marketing starts with clear profiles, correct contact details, useful photos and a consistent response to customer feedback. We select maps, review platforms and directories according to your country and audience, including Google Maps and Yelp where relevant, and regional services such as 2GIS, Yandex Maps, Zoon and Irecommend when they fit the market.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR ADVERTISING CHANNELS

Business promotion on 2GIS

2GIS is a map and business-directory platform to consider in the markets it serves. A useful profile gives customers accurate information about the business, its location and how to get in touch. We assess its relevance to your audience before planning profile improvements or advertising.

Assessing 2GIS for your business

Market and audience fit

Check whether the service covers the locations and customer needs relevant to your business. A platform should be selected for that fit, rather than a general popularity claim.

Business information

Keep the business name, categories, contact details and opening hours accurate. These details help customers understand the offer and plan a visit.

Data and access requirements

Review the requirements of any data or integration service before using it. Assess access permissions, permitted use and the needs of the business.

Customer discovery

Consider the searches and locations through which people may find the business. Use relevant profile content and clear location information to support that journey.

Measuring promotion

Agree which available measures will inform decisions, such as profile interactions or enquiries. Review the evidence before expanding a campaign.

Preparing a business profile for 2GIS

Prepare the real business name, address or location details, category, opening hours and current contact information. Gather appropriate photos and any evidence needed to confirm the listing. Use the current submission or ownership process offered by 2GIS, respond to verification requests and check the published profile for accuracy. Requirements and review times should be confirmed with the service.

2GIS tools to consider

Business and location data

Assess whether licensed business or geographic data would help with market research or location planning. Confirm the permitted use, coverage and data quality before integrating it.

Maps and navigation integrations

Consider available APIs or development tools when a website or application needs location features. The integration plan should reflect current documentation, licensing and the customer journey.

Geographic data for planning

Use appropriate geographic information to support location or service-area analysis where the necessary data is available. Confirm formats and licensing before choosing a tool.

Location analysis

Define the questions a map-based analysis should answer, such as comparing areas or planning new locations. Choose the data and tools to suit those questions.

Business audience research

Use relevant market information to understand potential business customers and partners. Any outreach plan needs a separate review of contact permissions and the appropriate communication channel.

Deployment requirements

Where a mapping project has specific hosting or access needs, assess the available deployment options. Confirm technical and data requirements before making a commitment.

Maps for customer information

Consider whether a suitable map would help people understand a location or service area. Plan its content, permissions and presentation around the intended use.

Business promotion on Yandex Maps

Yandex Maps is a mapping and local discovery service associated with the Russian-speaking market. We assess whether it is relevant to the customers you want to reach, then work on accurate business information, useful content and a clear contact route. Advertising formats depend on the market and account.

Planning Yandex Maps advertising

Map placements

Assess location-based placements where they are available. Make the offer relevant to nearby customers and keep the route to the business clear.

Visual advertising

Consider visual placements that fit the service and market. Use concise creative and a clear action, and assess the results against the campaign objective.

Banner formats

Review the banner options available to the account. Match the message to the context in which it appears and to the destination customers will reach.

Route-related promotion

Where supported, assess promotion connected with a journey or nearby location. Confirm the format and its suitability before including it in a campaign.

Category visibility

Help customers recognise the business through an appropriate category, consistent branding and accurate information. Assess any available paid category placements separately.

Offers on business profiles

Present a clear, current offer where profile tools support it. Keep the terms, dates and contact route easy to understand.

Property presentation

For a property business, assess whether supported map-based visual content would help explain the location and surroundings. Confirm the available format and production requirements first.

7 COMMON ADVERTISING MYTHS

Myth: Once a campaign is live, the work is done.

In practice: Campaigns need regular review. Check spending, audience response and conversion quality, then adjust the setup when the evidence supports a change.

Myth: More clicks always mean better results.

In practice: Clicks show interest, but the business goal may be a qualified enquiry, a purchase or another meaningful action. Evaluate those outcomes alongside traffic.

Gold cat wearing sunglasses beside rising bars.

Myth: Any page can serve as the landing page.

In practice: The destination should match the ad, explain the offer and make the next step clear. Check the experience on mobile as well as desktop.

Gold cat wearing sunglasses beside rising bars.

Myth: Good results are guaranteed as soon as ads launch.

In practice: A new campaign needs testing and reliable measurement. Results depend on the offer, competition, audience, budget and customer experience; no launch can guarantee sales.

Myth: More keywords automatically bring more customers.

In practice: Choose keywords that match relevant customer intent. Review search terms and exclude unsuitable traffic instead of expanding the list without evidence.

Myth: Hiring an agency guarantees a return on investment.

In practice: Agree on the scope, reporting and business goals before work starts. Assess the results against those goals and the full campaign cost, rather than relying on a promise.

Gold cat wearing sunglasses beside rising bars.

Myth: Advertising only works with a large budget.

In practice: A focused test can help assess an opportunity, but the budget must suit the market and campaign goal. Set limits and review the evidence before scaling.

Zoon for local business discovery

Zoon is a regional directory and review platform associated with Russia and neighbouring markets. For businesses serving that audience, a useful profile can bring together service information, photos, prices and customer feedback. We assess the platform fit and work on an accurate presentation of the business.

Managing business information on Yandex

A clear business listing

Bring the real business name, category, address, opening hours and contact details into one consistent listing.

Useful profile content

Use appropriate photos and service information to explain the business. Keep content accurate and relevant to customers considering a visit or enquiry.

Consistency across services

Check how business information appears across the relevant Yandex services. The customer should see consistent details wherever the listing is displayed.

Keeping details current

Review phone numbers, addresses, opening hours and other practical details regularly, especially after an operational change.

Profile and advertising scope

Distinguish basic profile management from any optional paid promotion. Confirm the tools and terms available to the business before recommending a service.

Understanding feedback on Irecommend

Irecommend.ru is a Russian-language review platform covering products and services. It may be relevant when researching customer feedback in that market. We use such feedback to understand recurring questions and concerns, and to improve how a brand explains its offer. Reviews should reflect real customer experiences.

Yelp and local business profiles

Assess whether Yelp is used by the audience and locations your business serves. Relevant categories and accurate location details help people understand whether the business meets their needs.
Review the business page and the available ownership or management options. Keep contact details, service information and photos accurate.
Monitor genuine customer feedback to understand recurring strengths and concerns. Respond appropriately where the platform permits, without presenting fabricated experiences as reviews.
Use customer feedback as evidence for improving service and communication. A rating is one part of a profile, and should be considered alongside the information customers need.
Keep practical information current so that visitors can plan a visit or make an enquiry. Check holiday hours and other changes when relevant.

MEASURE WHAT MATTERS

Start with your target market. Compare how people in each country search for and choose businesses like yours, then select channels that fit those habits.

Match the format to the message. Test search, social, video or display campaigns against a clear goal and review the quality of the enquiries they generate.

Connect reporting to business outcomes. Track qualified enquiries, sales and acquisition costs alongside reach and clicks so budget decisions reflect meaningful results.

Treat every market as a separate test. Review language, location, landing pages and customer response before expanding a campaign or increasing its budget.

Business visibility on Google Maps

Google Maps helps people discover places, compare local businesses and plan visits. For an eligible business, a well-maintained profile can provide useful information to local customers and visitors. We focus on accuracy, relevant content and clear ways to contact or find the business; visibility depends on the market and search context.

Preparing a Google Business Profile

Check eligibility and ownership

Confirm that the business is eligible for a profile and identify any existing listing before starting. Use the ownership or creation process currently offered by Google.

Use the real business name

Enter the name used by the business in the real world. Keep it consistent with the brand and avoid adding unrelated promotional wording.

Choose the appropriate business setup

Decide whether customers visit a business location, the business serves them at their locations, or both. Use the setup that accurately describes how the business operates.

Provide accurate location information

Supply the correct address when appropriate and define genuine service areas where supported. Follow the current requirements for whether an address should be displayed.

Add services and contact details

Describe the relevant services and provide a working business contact number and website. Make it straightforward for customers to reach the right team.

Complete the offered verification

Follow the verification process made available for the business. Prepare the requested evidence and keep profile details consistent; the available method is determined by the service.

Maintain the profile

Add useful photos, accurate opening hours and a clear business description. Review customer feedback and available profile information, and update details when the business changes.

Connecting local promotion with Google Ads

Where the business and account are eligible, paid promotion can complement a local profile. We align location information, advertisements and the destination with the intended audience. Campaign measurement focuses on the available customer actions and their business value, with budgets and targeting reviewed against observed performance.

A useful local profile for customers

Local customers and visitors

Make practical business information useful to people already nearby and those planning a visit. Choose content that reflects the audience and location.

Clear location information

An accurate location and contact route help customers understand how to reach the business. Check the information from a visitor perspective.

A consistent search presence

Keep the information shown in the profile and on the website consistent. Differences in names, hours or contact details can confuse potential customers.

A complete business profile

Provide the information customers need to understand the business: services, contact details, hours and suitable photos. Confirm the management tools available to the account.

Genuine customer feedback

Use real customer feedback to understand the service experience and respond constructively where appropriate. Do not promise a particular rating or treat reviews as a substitute for good service.

Relevant local information

Explain genuine service areas and practical visit details. Profile content should reflect what the business actually offers in that location.

Performance review

Use the performance information available for the profile to understand customer actions. Interpret those measures alongside actual enquiries and business results.

Shopping centre listings and local directories

Shopping centre directories and other relevant local listings can help people understand where a business is located and what it offers. A useful listing includes the real business name, category, location, opening hours, contact details and appropriate photos. We select directories for their relevance to the audience and keep the information consistent with the main website.

What local directories can contribute

Relevant listings can reinforce a clear online presence when their information is accurate and maintained.
Help interested visitors find the website or contact the business directly. Check that links and contact details lead to the right place.
Choose relevant directories for their usefulness to customers. Directory listings do not guarantee high search rankings or replace broader website work.
Use appropriate photos and concise service information to explain the offer. Avoid outdated promotions or claims that the business cannot support.
Focus on directories and categories that match the real area served. Local visibility is useful when it connects the business with the right customers.

Make local information accurate and useful

A local marketing plan should reflect the country, city and customers the business actually serves. Google Maps, Yelp, regional map services and relevant directories each need a separate assessment. Accurate profiles, useful content and genuine customer feedback support discovery and trust. We review the available performance data and maintain the information over time, without promising a particular search position or a fixed level of enquiries.
