Local SEO gets your company found by local searchers and improves your inbound marketing strategy

 

While the Internet has connected us with people from all corners of the world, it's also a great way to reach people around the corner as well. As customers become more dependent on the Internet for information, Google and other search engines have quickly replaced the phone book as the local business directory.

Today, search engines have written local algorithms that let people find nearby restaurants, stores, and service providers. Businesses have likewise become more aware of local inbound marketing, and they've added maps, directories, and other helpful local information to their sites.

If you've never considered local inbound marketing services before, today is the time to start! After all, every second you delay is another second that your competitors can take valuable customers away from your business.

How local inbound marketing works

The Internet is global, but you can use it to market locally as well.

Getting found on search engines is a large part of online marketing, but local search marketing takes a slightly different approach to target people who specifically want your company's services in your area. Your potential customers are searching by location as well as by business, and that means you have to optimize your website for both of those factors. It also helps to take out pay-per-click (PPC) ads based on location-based keywords so you can show up twice in search results for high-value keywords.

Part of this optimization includes some basic strategies, like adding your name, address, and phone number (NAP) to practically every page on your site. While that may seem excessive, it's actually an effective strategy at drawing new leads since all of your users can find your company's contact information on any page. You can't control where someone goes on your site -- but you can control what they see. And what they see should encourage them to contact you directly.

How to use keywords to attract local traffic

Not all keywords are the same. On a global or national marketing level, websites have to rank for short, competitive keywords that are more broad than specific, long-tail keywords. However, for local Internet marketing, you’ll need to focus on those long-tail keywords for success.

The reason those keywords are successful is because they drive specific traffic to your site that's more likely to convert into customers than people who use short keywords.

For example, if you sell vacuum cleaners, the short, competitive keyword might be “vacuum store” or something like that. But when people want to find your business locally, they search for specific terms like “vacuum store in New York City.”

These long-tail, location-based keywords are what pull local customers into your site. This is how many smaller businesses have been able to increase their sales in recent years, and you can do the same thing with the right strategy.
