So, my mission should I choose to accept it, (which I have) is to have myself (or my domain name) appear on a Google Maps search for ‘nathan pitman berkshire’. Right now I’m listed… well, my work place is anyhow. But I want my house to be highlighted! That would be super neat.

So, here’s how I think I’m going to make it happen. The business look up is provided by yell, this is how google know what to display in the business list on the right, so I’m thinking I just need to be listed on yell right? Right!

I trot off to yell.co.uk thinking that this is going to cost me some £‘s but discover that you can actually apply for a free basic listing that appears not only on yell.co.uk but also in ‘the book’. Wow, how neat is that.

I enter my details, list my business as ‘nathanpitman.com’ select the relevant categorisation, enter my address… blah blah blah… eventually I get to complete my listing and then get my confirmation email. My listing is being ‘processed’!

All I can do now is wait, will I get listed, and when I do, will I show up on the Google Map… only time will tell!

Update: I’m listed on yell but still not showing up on the google map… :/
