Local Internet Marketing Tools
So your clients are looking for: “super bowl limo rental miami”, how to SEO it?
The thing about local internet marketing that you have to remember is that the keywords are more relevant than anything. In national SEO, there are over 100 factors that google takes into effect for that particular set of keywords. Now, local seo does that too, but in a different manner. For organic results, yeah the algorithm stands, but the map results are different.
See, the map results also crawls the COMMENTS of the page, not just that listing. The beautiful thing is, all you need is a gmail account to rate your business. Now I know what some of you are thinking, “I’m making my business and using 1000 names to rate myself”. That WILL work, don’t get me wrong, but for about 5 minutes before Google kicks your butt off there!
Now that our little information session is over, onto the real nitty gritty, your client is looking for a specific listing, for a specific time and event. This can be tricky as it will take a long time to get listed right?
Not neccesarily, see say you were looking for:
- Super Bowl Limo Rental Miami
Now these keywords might not seem important, but check it out: there are NO LOCAL LISTINGS!
Go to google business center and create an account using these keywords and your customer will show up in local results for the keywords SUPER BOWL LIMO RENTAL MIAMI
Think about it for a second, go do some searching and play around with keywords!
