Regardless of whether you offer products and services
to local shoppers or nationwide consumers, it is important that you optimize
your website for local search engine optimization (S.E.O). When consumers
search in one of the major search engines (i. e. Google) for your business
services two things can happen: consumers will either find your website on the
first page or your competitors. It's that simple! You may have loyal local
customers, but you will not be able to increase brand exposure or most importantly,
increase your client base. Today, business owners are trying to attract the young
generation and having your business on the front page of Google will do just
that. Leveraging local S.E.O. marketing tips and techniques will help you do
just that. There are several approaches and factors to S.E.O. for local
business owners. The only thing to figure out is, are you optimizing a single
or multiple locations.
S.E.O. For One Location
A simple but important tip is feature your business
contact information strategically on your website, including the home page, the
header, sidebar, and pages with high traffic views. This can help your business
name, since the city & state display in listings when consumers search for a
business in their local area.
A great local S.E.O. marketing method is featuring
links to web 2.0 and review websites. This indirectly encourages readers to
engage with these websites from your home page, thus boosting your own personal
social profiles and more importantly credibility.

One last great local S.E.O. marketing tip is
bolstering your “Contact Us” page. It is extremely important to your search
engine optimization success. Again, ensure your particular contact information
is featured within the contact page, in addition to business hours and also a
Google Map so customers can directly find your business.
S.E.O. For Multiple Locations
To optimize multiple locations, setup a separate page
for each business location. Add fresh content on each page that’s specific to
each business physical location, like its history, business hours, address,
local surroundings, and a local Google Map location.
Create custom URLs for every single location. This
practice will always make it easier with regard to both Google and consumers to
distinguish each location and optimize multiple keywords thus providing a
larger audience for your business.
Create separate online profiles for every single
location to help categorize each location. Create new web 2.0 profiles for each
location on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest and include
links to each social media profile on each page for each location. Then,
promote events particular to each area on each web 2.0 profile.
How Long Should It Take To See Results With Search Engine
Optimization?
There are several factors that determine how quickly
you see results.
A large website could possibly see results in a few
days if the search engines are crawling their site regularly. Typically,
smaller sites take longer because they get crawled less frequently. Crawling
your website means, the search engines are reviewing your content. As they
crawl your site, they index content which will appear in the search engine. If
you are nervous regarding your results, wait at least a week (maybe closer to a
month) before deciding whether to change your S.E.O. strategy. Regularly add
fresh and creative content, this is the easiest and most efficient method to
guaranteeing local S.E.O. marketing success.
Never depend on search engine marketing alone for the
growth of one's business. Often, businesses that fail are the ones that depend
on S.E.O. alone for business growth. The companies which survive and thrive are
the ones that have a stable approach and market in a number of ways both online
and offline. S.E.O. can be pricey; nonetheless, it is only one slice of this
local S.E.O. marketing pie. A popular technique today is Video Marketing. Look for a NEW blog post later this week.
