Tips For Optimizing Your Local Search Listing
Get your business and or web site listed in the other major local directories, including:
- Yahoo Local
- Bing
- SuperPages
- Yellow Pages.com
- InfoUSA Today
List your web site in many directories. If you don't have the time to submit your site to many directories, contact us, or call us at 877-833-4552. We will submit you to 65 Search Engines and 250 Directories for $10.00.
Get reviews for your listing and post them on the web. You can collect reviews by offering 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:
- Add the common nicknames for your locality into your site's front page text.
- Display business info clearly on your site You should start by adding a footer with your business name, address, and phone number in it, 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 its possible to do
- Make sure you have information on your web site and advertising that refers to all of your locations. However the footer contact information orn your Home page, About Us page and Contact page should refer to your main headquaters.
-
Citations and links from other web sites, which include your business name and location is helpful in ranking for local search terms. This might include references from the Chamber of Commerce, Visitor Bureau, city/town directories, and even school web sites.
