Local Search SEO
Posted: October 6th, 2008 | Author: Josh | Filed under: SEO | 1 Comment »Local Search Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has become a pretty big topic lately ever since Google’s universal search results started to include images, locations, business listings, videos, and news. Pretty soon it will even begin to start displaying merchant services. I want to give our SEO and even design clients a short introduction on what universal search is, how important it is, and what we here at MidMoDesign can do to optimize for your local business.
Basically what has happened for about the last year, without any prompt from the searcher, Google has begun to give them more than just websites in their web search results with things like videos, news stories, local business directories, and much more. I am sure you have noticed this but not really sure exactly how it effects SEO efforts. For the purpose of this article we will concentrate mainly on how the local business directories effect your SEO strategy.
