Should I wait till after I move to create google listings?

[Lyndon]

Hello,
I currently run a small business and I am looking at trying to get my local search optimisation/local listings up-to-snuff.

However, I will be moving to a new location a few miles away in another 2 months and I'm wondering if I would be better off to wait and create local listings after that or if I'd be safe in doing it now?
Thanks in advance for your insights.

If the move is an absolute sure thing and you know the address, then I would go ahead and start creating business profiles on the sites that don't require mail verification. Getting these going and indexed in Google will help speed up your Google listing verification and ranking once you do move. You can find a list of the top 100+ free sites to create your listings on from this post: http://localsearchforum.catalystema.../10491-top-100-free-citation-sources-u-s.html

Thanks for your response.

I saw the second point "Google Local Business Listing" on this page: How To Move Your Business (Without Destroying Your Local Search Visibility) - Local University So I am wondering if that's a good idea?
Thanks

Build new CITATIONS.For me it was a lot quicker then changing NAP on existing ones from a previous address
