Increase Your Visibility In Local Search
By: Ross Dunn 2007-07-17 This morning I came across a great article by Sujan Patel at Search Engine Journal called "5 Quick Ways to Optimize for Local Search".
I highly recommend reading this article! The following is a summary of the main points with an added Canadian perspective for those who want to add/edit their business listing in Canada: 1) Make sure to list your business in the following local sections of these sites:
3) Ensure your domain is registered with your business address. Use a WHOIS tool to verify the address is correct in your domain. 4) If you want to take your local Internet presence to a more competitive level try getting backlinks to your website with geographical references. For example, StepForth might look for "web marketing, Victoria, BC" or "SEO services, Victoria, BC" 5) Cell phone and PDA users are turning to fast local searches using their mobile devices. In order to tap this marketplace create a mobile version of your website with geographical references including nearby popular spots/businesses. You would also benefit from trading links or acquiring links from businesses in your area. Read "Stake Your Claim on the Mobile Web" to get an introduction into Mobile device marketing or read our other articles and posts on mobile.
