What Is Local Search and How Do I Get Found?

As I mentioned earlier there are GPS chips built in to every cell phone, tablet and notebook and with technology constantly changing prospective buyers can be placed right at your front door with a simple search query.

Think about when you went on vacation or away for the weekend. When you needed to find a nice restaurant you checked Yelp for the review and you did a quick Google search for directions.

You don?t have to be on vacation ? your customers are doing the same thing right now. They are looking for your products and services and they can?t find you because you have no digital footprint.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Your local business listings is already on the internet waiting for you to claim them, but along with claiming your listing you want to make sure the information is correct and you want to optimize your listings to be search engine friendly.

The best and cheapest way to get traffic to your website is through organic traffic and that is for several reasons. First of all, organic traffic is free; you don?t have to pay for, but on the flip side you have to work at it. The best thing about organic traffic is that it stays on the internet longer than paid traffic because it is created and not purchased.
