Local SEO: How to Optimize Your Business for Local Searches
Let’s face it folks, business listings in the phone book don’t pull in local customers the way they used to. When was the last time you even saw a phone book, let alone used one? That’s what I thought.
Now, if local customers are looking for a product or service, they turn to Google search (or on rare occasions, some other search engine like Bing or Yahoo). If you’re the owner of a small business, you may be in despair about this, thinking “Woe is me, searchers will never see me – big, national chains own the SERPs.”
Quit panicking and listen – a good local SEO strategy can help. With the right search engine optimization, you can get to the top of the local search results. Take a minute to calm down and breathe, and then we’ll teach you how to lift your local search ranking.
