One of the most popular questions I get from an Owner or Funeral Director is: “How do I get my Funeral Home on Google Maps?” Here is the strategy we use that has helped get Funeral Homes to the first page of Google for their services in their local area:

Google Places Optimization Fundamentals – Here you will find a overview of the basics/fundamentals for getting listed on the Google Map.

Get On-Line Reviews and Testimonials – 88 percent of customers trust reviews from a local business as much as they trust personal recommendations. In current studies, approximately 90 percent of respondents reported using online reviews to determine whether or not to move forward and do business.Online reviews play a significant role with consumers when choosing the services of a Funeral Home.

Video Marketing for Funeral Homes – If I had created a video instead of this website to make my point I am sure I would have enticed an (even) bigger audience than I will now. We would agree that a motion picture normally attracts us more than an intriguing novel or comic book based on the same story.

Although some people prefer reading, when we are focused on exposing our marketing efforts to the maximum number of people, video is the answer. The new trend of explainer videos to do the storytelling has risen exponentially in recent times. This type of video is perfect for promoting Funeral Services because they are short, and convey your marketing message in a unique way.
