Local SEO

43% of all online searches include a local identifier such as a city name. And 86% of consumers who search online to find a local product or service will follow up with a phone call or in-store visit. Local search Engine Optimization, or SEO, can help you tap into that online market and convert virtual searchers into paying customers.

Local SEO is different than national SEO in the sense that a local campaign is designed almost exclusively around local keyword s, such as city names, county names, street names, and so forth. So when a searcher types in "plumber Chicago", up comes a results page full of…you guessed it…plumbers in Chicago. But notice that the results showed only plumbers in Chicago, not Los Angeles. That's what makes local search different. It allows you to advertise exclusively to people searching for products or services in your local area. After all, if you're a plumber in Chicago, it does you no good to show up in the search results of people looking for a plumber in Los Angeles.

So how exactly does local SEO work and how can you put it work for your business? Major search engines use complicated computer algorithms that determine whether a website is relevant to the search terms a user has typed. These algorithms factor in several things such as external links, URL structure, HTML code structure, and keyword density. Depending on how your website performs in the algorithm's analysis, your website either will or won't be displayed in the search results.
