What is "LOCAL" search? Typically, when your business relies on a local market, anyone searching for your products or services in that market will be presented with a set of LOCAL search results. Major Yellow Page categories fall into this type of search. Very often, the MAPS listings are ignored in a search engine optimization campaign and this is a huge mistake. The LOCAL listings can often be more important than the organic and sponsored listings. If you're considering mobile marketing for Dayton Ohio, it starts with a good LOCAL listing strategy.
Help with LOCAL Listings
LOCAL listings are optimized by a completely different set of criteria. Showing up in the number one organic position doesn't guarantee you a result in the LOCAL listings. There are numerous factors not considered in organic SEO that will affect your LOCAL SEO listings including: location (duh...), citatations (listing your business in other local directories) and reviews to name three.
