Local SEO

Customers using smart phones are driving much of the action toward Local Search. Search engines are too. Here’s why you need to get your Local Business listed and active for both.

Customer Reviews

Reviews are flooding the Internet and are becoming a major factor for buyers deciding whether to trust your company. Popular opinion is hard to fake. Buyers are deciding where to buy from and search engines are deciding how to rank your sites based on what your customers are saying. More and more, search engines are looking for recommendations they can trust too.

Who better to trust than your customer?

Word of mouth marketing, which has always been a prime driver of new customers to local businesses, is now magnified across the Internet to include everyone with access to a computer or Web-enabled smart phone.

But your customers can’t review you if your business has no online presence.

Keyword Research & Competitive Analysis

How people search locally matters.

  • Do they type in “consumer product + city” or “city + consumer product”?
  • Where do you currently rank for those terms?
  • Who are your top competitors?

We’ll perform our expert analysis to determine the complexity of the search landscape and build a road map that will lead you to greater search visibility and more Web traffic.

Local Listings

Google Places

Google’s provides local businesses a great resource to enhance their local online visibility with your very own Place Page. There are a few tricks to optimizing it to full advantage. We’re here to walk you through the process flawlessly so that you show up at the top of your city’s local listings.

Bing Business Portal

Bing replaced its Bing Local Listing Center with a more robust listing tool called the Bing Business Portal. Their new business listing portal allows for more descriptive fields which Google has not adopted. We never recommend placing all of your marketing focus on just one search engine like Google. Regardless of whether you see much traffic from Bing, now that their results are powering Yahoo!, you really want to have a complete listing here.

Submitting your business listing is time-consuming and a little tricky, if you’re unfamiliar with their listing tool. For that reason, we provide this as part of our local SEO services.

 

Our Secret SEO Sauce

One of the best ranking factors is gaining local citations. In hyper-competitive business services, like dentists or cosmetic surgeons, we search beyond basic directories to find valuable hyper-local citation sources to keep you one step of your competition.

We’ll complete the comprehensive citation prospecting, analysis and submission process for you.
