Mapping Community System

This is a system meant to get your local businesses and your website "on the map." It works well for a DMO (destination marketing organization) or an individual business working to develop their website into an authority portal.

It is relatively easy to accomplish. Potential Benefits include:

• High Quality Links that help you in SERP (search engine results placement).
• Improved SERS (Search Engine Results Saturation)
• Improved "local search" results and "image search" results.
  
• Drive Quality Traffic directly to your website

• Link your main map page to your homepage and deeplink each attraction page to an interior page on your website.
• Pull photos from Flickr (below) instead of uploading directly.
