Different Types of Local SEO

Martin_Walker — 2012-03-03T14:08:58-08:00

There are many different types of Local SEO scenarios, some of which may include:

One physical location, customers come to that location and customers are served within a certain mile radius of that location.
One physical location, products and/or services are delivered to customers within a 5 - 20 mile radius of that location.
One physical location, products and/or services are delivered to customers within a larger radius than 5 - 20 miles or a specific region, state, etc.
One physical location and products and/or services are delivered to specific regions but cannot be defined accurately by using a radius, and must be defined by zip codes, city names or regional names.
More than one physical location with criteria from above samples.

For some Local SEO campaigns, we create, edit and/or enhance clients Google Places listings or create backlink campaign for localized keywords.

A few sample concepts of the challenges facing any typical Local SEO situation.

A check cashing company located in a city in Southern California. Their immediate need was to let people in the area know that they existed. This is a good example of specific market information that varies from client to client. People will only travel so far to cash a check, they may also go directly from their work to cash a check, so they may work in the area, we had to look at large employers in the area to decide the cities to rank in. In this case, we enhanced their Google Places listing to include a wider radius, they consistently got highest rankings in Google Places and mission was accomplished. No back link building, minimal on page SEO, as there were not many keywords.

A more complex example was a furniture store in the greater Los Angeles area. The owner wanted to appear in some cities, but not in others. There were other dealers in some of those other cities that he did not want to compete directly with.

A common approach to Local SEO is to target main keywords like "plumber" or "electrician" by building text back links containing these keywords, in a similar way you would approach a national SEO campaign, but then follow up with very strong on page SEO that was more directed towards the local, geographic identifiers, such as "plumber, Los Angeles". The localized keywords would need to be very pervasive and prominent throughout the site.

Another consideration for local SEO is practical considerations. People will only drive so far for church, a restaurant or other services. Likewise, businesses will only service, or prefer to service customers within a certain mile radius of their business. All of this must be taken into consideration when developing an effective Local SEO campaign.

Usually, at the end of the day, the main goal of local SEO is the same, to put more people in the store, to sell more merchandise. There are many things that have to happen from the time the buyer searches in Google and walks in your door.

You really need the social buttons on your blog so that the readers can easily share your content over at their social networking accounts. In line with that, you should also respond to them if ever they have questions about your post.

There's a way to build that many backlinks in a day. You can focus on online communities talking about your niche, just like the first comment has mentioned. You can also create content saying something about an established study related to your niche, and give credits to the original contributor.

The best way to link build your site is to submit it naturally to niche site. For example your site is all about Web Development so you have to submit to forums and blogs that about web development. Also social media helps a lot in boosting your traffic.

As more and more people go online, targeting local seraches is the best way to go. I guess SEO results will be highly location-dependant soon.

New Backlink Building Tool

Martin_Walker — 2011-04-16T15:13:05-07:00

Building backlinks to your pages is an essential part of SEO (short for Search Engine Optimization) for two reasons.

The second reason is that it helps your pages get higher search engine rankings for the keywords of your choice. The more backlinks you have, the better. Period.

New SEO Packages and SEO Services

Martin_Walker — 2011-01-27T13:03:02-08:00

Hello Clients,

I wanted to share with you some details about our new SEO packages. I am excited to have them and to be able to offer them to you. I have met with some of you already and discussed, but wanted to provide you with detail, you should know what work I am doing for you.

The Internet is getting increasingly competitive and more and more work is required to get keywords and websites to rank well. These new packages allow us, Walker SEO, to keep up, if not outpace, our other SEO competitors and provide you with the most cutting edge, effective SEO work available, all at no additional charge.

The biggest change to my packages has been the methodology and technology used to achieve the same results, specifically in terms of how I conduct my article marketing. Everything else is pretty much the same, with the exception of being able to publish press releases now, at no additional charge, one per month.

One of the main areas of focus in SEO, as you know, is getting good backlinks to the selected site.

In the past I have created articles with links in them, and then submitted them to article directories and made them available for publication/distribution. Each article having a few text links back to the selected site.

With the old packages there may be 8 articles submitted to 50 directories in any given month. This is a good and effective backlink building strategy, but not as aggressive, manageable or targeted as it could be.

My new packages attack the article marketing on three fronts:

1. Article Marketing - An article is written and broken down into 4 to 7 paragraphs. Then two additional versions of each paragraph is written. All paragraphs are written as to be interchangeable. The title also has 3 versions. My software randomly creates versions of that article using the available paragraphs, creating hundreds or thousands of different variations. These articles are now made available to over 19,000 websites, article repositories and article directories, the articles are selected based upon subject matter and keywords. The article is submitted to approximately 49 sites per day...instead of 50 per month.

2. Article Mini-Marketing - We then take one of the versions of the article and change just two or three of the paragraphs or add synonyms for many of the adjectives in the article. The software then generates multiple versions of that article that are completely different from the first/original one. The versions of this article are made available to over 1900 web properties for publication.

3. Text Linking - In addition to the tool and methodology above, we now use a proprietary system that creates text backlinks, one way, to your site at the rate of 200 per month. The links are high quality and varied. I am able to match specific text links to specific pages, thus driving ranking up for a particular page or getting new pages indexed quickly. I use this tool to fine tune rankings for specific phrases, this is more targeted than the article marketing tool.

These new tools will allow me to manage your accounts more directly, which I like, and they will also enable me to achieve what used to take 6 to 8 months, in 2 to 4 months.

Work From Home? How a Real Office Can Increase Your Website Traffic...

Martin_Walker — 2010-10-04T19:16:20-07:00

Well "Google Places" is the short answer.

When you have a home based business, many people operate with a P.O. Box to collect their checks, or if you are like me, sit on it like a cat over a gopher hole. For operations and running the business, it works great. Your mailing address is not your home address, helps keeps things separate.

But, without an address for your business, like a brick and mortar (that's what us SEO people call them), a real storefront, you can't submit your business to Google Places (used to be called Google Maps). You may or may not want to use your home address, probably not because when something is published on the Internet, it is just that, "published" everyone can see it 24/7 and you probably don't want people showing up on your front lawn at 2 in the morning looking for product samples or demanding refunds.

Google Places is that map that shows up on the first page of Google. That's why a listing there can have an impact on your business. Your site, or a listing of your business may be on the first page already, which is great, but if you had a real address, looking like a real office, it would be on there twice, and be twice as nice for web traffic.

This is particularly important when you are trying to dominate a local geographic area, like the town you live in. You want the name of the city to be closely tied to your name, this listing on Google Places does just that. MerchantCircle.com works in a similar way, MerchantCircle is also very powerful and not to be underestimated.

If all you have is a Google Places listing, with a unique phone number and physical address, your site could easily be listed in Google Places (maps), your natural listing (organic) of your website, and your MerchantCircle listing. That's three, count �em, three listings, all free on the first page of Google. Now we are cooking with Crisco.

Executive suites are very affordable and many times can actually be much more productive that working out of the house. Virtual offices can give you the address you need for website traffic and are very very affordable.

So don't think you are saving that much money by working out of the house, you may be losing business and don't even realize it.

Now, if you want to show up on the first page of Google in different cities and still have just one office address?? Well...I believe that is a topic for another article.

RE: Using domain names to help with local search results

Ken Kralick — 2010-08-31T12:16:04-07:00

This is something I've been testing for a while (city and service in the url) and it certainly works. Obviously, it's tough to pick up the valuable URL without paying a ton for it.

What I'm trying to figure out (and the reason I found your site) is the answer to "how manly links/natural resources does it take to trump a solid URL?"

You pushed me in the right direction but the hunt goes on...

17 Steps That Will Maximize Your Organic SEO
Goal: To have multiple listings on Google page one for each keyword/keyword phrase (one out of 10/25, (10 or 25 keywords/keyword phrases))

How to post a Press Release on your Facebook page.

Martin_Walker — 2010-03-19T10:55:16-07:00

Facebook doesn�t really have a way to post a real blog or forum, especially for things like press releases. The maximum status length when posting items on the wall is 420 characters, which doesn�t really give enough room for something like an article or press release.

If you already have a blog there are ways to integrate it into your Facebook page via RSS feeds and other third party apps, but the status app on Facebook is a little short at its character limitation for being an original blog.

This article is for any business or organization who is using Facebook as a primary tool to communicate with its market. This technique may not be necessary if you have a website, as you are able to easily create a blog on blogger.com or on your website and allow visitors to subscribe via rss feed.

If you don�t have a blog, don�t want to create a separate blog, and just want to use Facebook, then this is for you. In one of my applications I am actually duplicating content by adding press releases to my clients Facebook page in addition to their website, this is also a sound strategy.

Use the Discussions tab to post Press Releases. Use the headline of the press release as the title of the discussion and then post the content of the release in the body. This will allow more characters, higher word count, enough for a good press release and it also allows comments, which is kind of cool.

Although this tool was not designed for this, it is a nice fix if you want to post either articles or press releases. It also stimulates participation and conversation about that content as well.

In regard to duplicate content, I have found that things have changed. Google doesn�t seem to be as picky when it comes to rankings relative to duplicate content. We are all discovering that people find information in different ways, and have different levels of comfort and preferences when it comes to accessing information. It is for this reason that I post the same information in many places. Some visitors just follow my clients on Twitter, other exclusively on Facebook.

So even if you have sent out press releases via prweb.com, prlog.com, marketwire.com or from a host of any other press release distribution services, you may want to post your releases on your Facebook page as well.
