Local Search
Local search marketing is a cost effective way to get your business found by people looking for your products and services, people who are ready to buy! Google, Yahoo! and Bing all provide local search listing services in their search results, and there are hundreds of other directories offering local listing services that your business can use to be found by your local prospects.
Most local search directories are free, or offer a free listing with fewer options, and claiming those listings is a great first step. Before you declare victory in local search optimization for your business because you’ve claimed your listings, check to see if:
- You’ve done the keyword research to find out what your clients really search for in your local market
- You’ve gotten listed above your competitors
- You’ve made your listing stand out from all the rest – especially when the map shows all your competitors
Your local search listing can be a great source of targeted leads for your business, especially if it’s been optimized to be found for what your prospects are looking for, which is not necessarily what you think they’re looking for!
