Local marketing
Solutions for local and regional businesses
Taking advantage of local listings can help businesses gain top placement on the search engine result pages and exposure to many potential customers with little time and expense.
Some of the businesses that benefit greatly from local listings include:
- Doctor’s and professional services offices
- Credit unions and community banks
- Spas
- Hotels
- Restaurants
Unlike marketing of a website using traditional SEO, not every query triggers the display of a local listing. Searches that contain the location within the search term itself, like [locksmiths new york city], and some searches for local-type terms, like [pizza], feature local listings on the results page.
The display of local listings on these search engine queries pushes the regular, organic results farther down the page. When this happens local results are the very first thing that your potential website visitor sees. Local listings are thus an essential component to a comprehensive web marketing campaign, even if you already have a traditional SEO program.
If you already have local listings, we can optimize your current business profile in each of the three major search engines using SEO best practices so that your listing appears at or near the top of the local results for terms related to your business.
