Local Search

Local Search Optimization is the art and science of improving visibility in local search engines like Google Places and Bing Places, directories like FourSquare and Yelp, and GPS and navigational systems. Because these engines operate differently than typical search engines, Local Search services require a distinct set of tactics and strategies than organic SEO services.

Increase Traffic Quality & Volume to Your Site

Over the past few years, search engines have taken these queries and returned specialized results. Most notably, Google uses Google Places profiles to provide users with maps that show up to ten nearby options for whatever they are searching for.

These specialized results present challenges and opportunities that are separate from standard organic SEO. Because the engines use unique algorithms to provide these results, business owners need to take special steps to optimize for local. An expertly executed local strategy can help drive a huge amount of traffic to a site. Even more importantly, local traffic has been pre-qualified: you can be confident that searchers who reach your site through local search are not only searching for your type of business, but also searching from your own backyard.
