- florists Chester
- florist Chester
etc. etc… (whatever is an appropriate customer search term that is relevant to your business)

Certainly helpful. Apart than Google Local business, it is fruitful to post office address on any other site?
Thanks for your comment Nancy, glad you found it helpful. A small business without a website looking to attract more customers through their door benefit by actually having this ‘web presence’, they may otherwise not appear at all in an online search (and miss out on customers). It’s also an added ‘web presence’ for businesses with a website as they ‘may’ appear in the local listing when their own site may not!
It’s always fruitful to have your business information in as many “relevant” places as possible. Google local aims to help local business maintain that relevance.
