The famed line "If you build it, he will come" from the 1989 film "Field of Dreams," might not have played so well in the Internet age. If you want website visitors to find your physical business or organization, you need to show them find you. Sending potential clients or contacts to an outside source like MapQuest or Google Maps adds just one more step to the task of finding your location.
