Local search allow users to submit geographically based searches against a database of local business listings.

Typical local search queries include info about "what" the user is searching for (i.e. keywords, business category, product name) but also the "where", such as city, town or zip code.

Google, Yahoo, and Bing all display local search in their search engine results pages (SERP).

Local SEO for Organic Search Rankings

Organic search results are the usual listings you see when you do a search in Google, Yahoo or MSN. Good rankings in organic search will drive the bulk of the traffic to your website. It is here where we can also target a wider range of keywords to maximize the local traffic your website receives.

Optimized Placement in Local Search Engines

Within the last couple of years the search engines have been providing improved "local search" features. Google in particular has been embedding these "Maps" inside their search pages as part of their Universal Search results. This has opened new opportunities for local businesses and requires different techniques, from organic SEO, to get exposure there.

We can help your business get more exposure with Local Maps SEO. As Maps usage grows it is becoming more important to be seen here as well as in organic search.

Geo-Targeted Pay Per Click Advertising

For some of our clients Pay Per Click (PPC) is an important advertising method to target multiple areas or wider ranges of keywords for multiple products or services. Or simply as a way to get immediate results while we wait for organic SEO efforts to kick in. Our geo-targeting techniques, keyword insights and landing page optimization will help you develop a local PPC campaign that produces a high return on investment.
