Google My Map Create Tips

Step 1: Open your browser, and go to https://www.google.com/mymaps to create a custom map.
Go to Google My Maps
Step 2: Press on the button that says, "Create a new map".

Step 3: If you are not already signed in, sign in with your Gmail or Google account.
Go to Google My Maps
Step 4: Search for the business you are looking for, either your money site, or one of your clients websites. This assumes that this website already has its Google My Business page already set up and live. For this example, I am just using some test information for a listing I found called "Test".
Search for the business
Step 5: Copy the NAP information and then press "Add to map". The map pin turns from a green color to a red color.
Add to map
Step 6: Now on the left side where it says "Untitled map", press these words, and in the pop up that appears, add your main keyword that you are trying to rank for in the "Map title" area. So for this example, type in: "Dentist Chicago".
Step 7: And then in the "Description" area, this is where you will want to enter in a short 200-300 word description, similar to what you would have on your Google My Business page, describing your business.
Also here you can put your Google My Business url, as well as your money sites url. And below everything place your NAP info that you copied over.
So it looks like this: You have a description with some LSI and synonym terms, under this you have your website urls, and then under this you have your NAP info which matches your Google My Business page. Then press the "Save" button.
Add a Description
Step 8: Next, also on the left hand side where it says "Untitled layer", press this text and another pop up will appear.
Step 9: Enter in a longer tail keyword you are also trying to rank for here, such as "24 Hour Emergency Dentist", then press "Save".
Enter in a longer tail keyword
Step 10: Press the "Share" button on the left hand side.
Press the
Step 11: In the pop up box you will see where it shows you who can view it. It will say Private and beside this there will be a button called, "Change", press on this.
Change Maps
Step 12: Change it to "Public on the web". Then press "Save".
Public on the web
Step 13: When you get back to the previous screen, you will copy the url link at the top of the pop up box, and go open a private window, or another browser that you are not logged into.
Brand New Private Browser Window
Step 14: Paste the link into the address bar and hit enter. The link will change from an "edit" link to a "viewer" link. This is your link now, if you take a look at the links on the left side, you will now see that they are both DoFollow, and on google.com.

You can now see that you have a citation, and a DoFollow link from a DA 100 seed list website, and it so happens to be Google themselves.
This is extremely powerful folks, you are not only getting a powerful DoFollow link, you are getting the best citation you can get.
And to add to this with another super tip, is that you can create more of these, using different google accounts of course, for other keywords, so just pull up another google account, and do the same process, and do it again for another keyword that you have, again change the description to be different, but you keep the NAP info the same.
Don't forget to add this link to your social sites like RebelMouse, Pearltrees, or Storify and send a PBN link at one of these social sites, which then pass the juice of the PBN off to your Google map listing, which then passes juice off to Google My Business page, which then links off to your money site.
As you can see, this is a domain authority stacking mega sandwich which will get you trust, authority, power, and juice all going from one site to another.
