People searching the internet for local stores and services are a growing trend.  Local restaurants, doctors, landscapers, or gyms – your local customer is looking for you online.

Local search engine optimization is the process of improving a website‘s placement on search engine results for relevant industry specific keywords within a geographical location.  For example: If you owned a Landscaping company in Maryland, you would want to appear in the search engine results for “Maryland landscaping company”

Google Local Maps/Places Optimization

Google Local maps are known known as Google Places.  They are usually listed within the first page of local search result pages.  Google Places returns a list of 7 possible local matches to the search criteria entered by its user.   This is a very effective way for potential customers to quickly find your business, get directions, read customer reviews, and review other vital information about your business.  Read our blog about Local Search Engine Optimization.
