Local Search Engine Optimization (LSEO)
Reach your local market... simply, directly, and for one low cost!
Recent studies show that as many as 93% of Net users go online to research local products and services. New mobile technologies are pushing that number even higher. Online searches are faster and easier, and the information is more reliably updated. In a few seconds, searchers can find all the businesses that meet their needs-the exact location, phone, customer reviews, and more. The days of the yellow page directory are over.
Enter the field of Local Search Engine Optimization. LSEO puts your business in the Google "top of page" listings for searches in your neighborhood, city, or region. It's the first thing the searcher sees, and it's where your competitors are . . . right now.
Local SEO Is The Solution
Local Search Engine Optimization boosts your profits rapidly. It drives foot traffic to your physical location, and creates both calls and emails. It’s the technical answer to the local search revolution. This is a brief description of how we actually achieve visibility for your business online.
1. We perform a Keyword Analysis
We use our own proprietary processes to identify the best keywords for your project—the search terms with the best traffic and ranking potential.
2. We use the Microcard hCard format
Microformat is an open data format that allows search engines to interpret address information and
identify it as an address—not just plain text. Microformats are powerful ways to give the search engines information about a business. This information makes for “better crawlability” which leads to more targeted traffic (and more profits). Both Yahoo maps and Google maps have hCard microformat incorporated in their search results.
3. We place the geo tag format in meta tags
Placing geo tags in the meta tags allows for the addition of placename and region tags in the meta section of a webpage. This placement gives the page an extra push when someone searches for your business.
4. We set your geographic location in Google webmaster tools
Often overlooked, this is a high impact strategy. It tells Google you are interested in targeting a specific geographic location. The result: targeted traffic and more profits.
5. We submit to the local listings of top players
These top players account for more than 80% of Internet searches. If you are listed on these sites, your chances of being found for searches on your products or services increase tremendously. The benefit: huge potential exposure. Included are Google Local, Yahoo! Local, Live local, AOL Local, and as many 20 additional services.
6. We submit to the other significant local search players, online yellow pages, pop directories, and data providers
These contribute significantly to your traffic for local searches and increase your “local profile.” Databases like InfoUSA are used by many search engines to get data. Internet directories like Superpages.com, Switchboard.com, and Yellowpages.com have a huge user following. We submit your site to as many as 50 carefully chosen sites. See list in right column > >
... And more!
We will work with you to further customize your local search reach. We can submit to your local Better Business Bureau, Chamber of Commerce, and merchant associations.
