Local SEO Firm Localized Search Engine Optimization Specialists
When search engine optimization and localized search is combined it becomes a powerful strategy for offline businesses to be able to reach the local people in their geographic area.
Recently in my reading I saw numerous times different studies which reflected that either 78% or 80% (depending on which study it was)of people buying things locally check prices, descriptions, and reviews twenty minutes before making their offline purchase. When I read this the first time I thought about my own personal experience. This week I needed to buy a new cell phone. I went online and picked out what service provider I’d use and went on to find the phone model I wanted. I left from home to do the shopping for my wife (she was ill) and picked out the phone just 25 minutes after. I can remember doing the same thing on my laptop, mp3 player, flip video… I have the habit of checking the internet for any electronic purchase I make to see if I can find a sale locally and support the local stores (none in Greenfield), instead of getting it on eBay… How about you?
Recently I had a referral come in and the person said that they had a nice ecommerce website done and no one knew it was there! This situation is nothing new since it’s like that on many websites. The businesses may have created their own or even paid thousands of dollars for someone else to do a top notch website. The problem they all have in common is that there wasn’t a proper search engine optimization strategy put in place in the beginning and if there was it was never followed.
The difference between a failed website (one without targeted traffic) and a successful one is simply that the successful one has the targeted traffic from the area that they serve.
That’s exactly what we will do for businesses with a website that need traffic! Now with Geotargeting added in its a vehicle to direct local people to your local businesses.

Are you a business owner serving a local area? Here’s a free tip for reading this through. In this Clog I described local search and the importance of it.
If you aren’t already listed in Google Local here’s your first profile to either fill out or the way to get to yours to claim it. http://www.google.com/local/add/lookup?hl=en-US&gl=US
Incidentally if you already have one and haven’t utilized the Coupon Function of the Local Search then go to yours and fill one out. You’ll be suprised at how many hits you are getting in their and the one coupon will give you some extra exposure. If the person reading needs your product or service then it could very well create a sale from the lead that comes in. I wish you the best with it and now put it to action!
