For most online businesses, being found in your local market area makes more sense than being found globally. It means getting a far better result in searches by keywords relevant to your area, town or city.
How can a business, with a limited budget, be found locally? There was a time when getting listed in the local yellow pages and business directories was enough— that is not true not anymore…
Recent studies indicate that people are abandoning printed yellow pages and business directories all together. The world is going away from the printed word ads. Newspapers have dropped and continues to fall. In fact, today more people go online to get news updates, stock quotes, weather reports–virtually everything. Google is a huge resource for finding local businesses just like yours. Google has become the new phone book.
According to a recent study, approximately 90% of buyers do research online before purchasing locally. This will only increase with Internet access expanding into mobile phones and other devices in the future and even now.
Local SEO is the solution!
Local SEO is the perfect starting point for small business owners who wish to enjoy the benefits of the Internet with out spending a large amount of money. (You most likely will spend less than the costs incurred in getting listed in printed yellow pages and directories!)
