Google Maps Scam

Business selling FREE Google tools is an out and out SCAM and you can do it for free.

If you are a MerlinFX client, we'll do it for you for nothing.

If you get web related offers in the mail or "act now before you lose your domain"; it's best to check with your web developer or whom ever manages your web related services; before you go and spend your $$$ on services that are otherwise free or misleading.

It's also a point to have all your web related services handled by one company or person. If you are super organised and can track where your domains are registered, who handles email set up, web hosting etc; then you are fine. But my experience, most business don't. Most web developers should offer to manage all that for you.

Here is a link on how to set up your business on Google Maps. The article mentions that you can select to have the verification process handled by Google sending you snail-mail. Frankly having them call (automated) or SMS you is a lot easier and faster.
