Is it a bad idea to include a single keyword phrase at the end of the business name in Google Places?posted in Image & Video Optimization
I'm concerned about this for local SEO and citation purposes. It's not spammy and it flows well, and it sounds like a logical extension of our name, but I'm concerned that it will make it harder for Google to pick up our citations. Any thoughts?
