Embedding Google Maps into your AR Blogs. What I found today... 

 
I've been working on a set of keywords that I think are relevant in my area. Recently moving to St Augustine, I discovered something I had never heard of before - CDD fees. They didn't have them in Charleston, SC, where I've spent all my real estate time. They are quite costly and can really affect how much home you can afford. Not all neighborhoods have them though. So, I decided to start focusing blogs on neighborhoods that don't have them. I've written quite a few and my SEO seems quite good for the keywords that I'm using. Every few days I check to see where I am with my keywords and today was one of those days. 
 
I noticed that there was a new entry on page 1 of Google.

Clicking on it, I realized that it was my map - the one I created for my AR blogs!

Last Monday I spent a few hours going back to all my hyperlocal blogs, creating and inserting maps. I did it because I was told that Google likes them. All I had hoped was that Google would give a little extra juice to the blogs that I had already written. I did not expect to get another search result out of it. Guess what I'll be doing for all of my future hyperlocal blogs?

Thank you Mark! I had only just started using Google Maps and so I was very surprised. What I've also found out is that my Google Status updates are starting to index now too.
