Best Key Word Optimization; Best Business List Submission!

            A Statement From the Director of Express Submit

I have used my expertise to get your company a rapid first page listing on the valuable Google Local Business Directory. While I have submitted a rich list of key words to keep your listing on the first page of Google, key word submission is only part of the game. Below, I have listed some simple steps you can take to bolster your hard won ranking; and help you come up high on even more key word local searches for your product or service.

  1. Get your business and or web site listed in the other major local directories, including:

  1. Yahoo Local
  2. Bingl
  3. SuperPages
  4. Yellow Pages.com
  5. InfoUSA Today
  6. Insider's Pages
Get reviews for your listing
Offer a discount to some of your favorite/frequent customers if they will promise to rate your business. Do not demand or bribe to get positive ratings, because that would be considered to be an unfair influence however, you could hand discount coupons or other favors to customers who particularly liked your product/service, and ask them to rate you online in order to have the discount.

If you have a web site, the following simple changes will help to optimize your web site for the local business searches:

   A) Add the common nicknames for your locality into your site’s front page text.

   B) Display Business Info Clearly on Your Site – You should start by adding a footer with your business name, address, and phone number it in, so that it appears on all pages. Also, it’s wise to include your target geographical keywords and key phrases within your page titles, if it’s possible to do

   C) Make Sure You Have Specific Content in Your Advertisements and Website that reference All of Your Locations

Get References and Incoming Links From Other Web Sites:

Citations and links from other web sites that include the business name and location would, in theory, be helpful in ranking for local search terms. This might include references from the Chamber of Commerce - style sites, Visitor Bureau - style sites, city/town directories, and even school web sites, not to mention the local categories of DMOZ, Yahoo Directory and the like.
