The Final Nail in the Yellow Pages Coffin...
When Google Local Search changed the rules, they sent a clear message to the world that they are serious about being the 'GO TO' Place for customers looking for local businesses. The most
important thing you need to be aware of is that the Yellow Pages are dead. People prefer to use search
engines to find your business!
You Need To Put Your Local Business Where People Are Looking!
|
The facts don't lie! A recent survey done by the highly reputable company The Kelsey Group found that 97% of customers use online media to find local businesses. 90% of those searchers use search engines.

Google Knows What People Want!
Google sees this change in human behavior and has invested millions of dollar into providing the best local search results possible. Google likes to be on the cutting edge of trends and they would not make these changes if they did not see what is happening in the local search market.
Top Rankings in Google Places = More Customers
As a small business owner in a local market you have a very unique opportunity to take advantage of these massive changes in Google local Search. The fact is, most small business owners are still not even aware of these changes and many more are scrambling to try and figure out what they need to do next.
The Bottom line... a top listing in Google Places could mean thousands of dollars to your bottom line
Should you try to do this yourself, or hire a Professional with 15 years of Search Engine experience?
Google Places makes having a locally focused website a necessity. If you still do not have a website it is time to get one if you expect to get top rankings. If you already have a website you must make sure that it is designed to match your local business listing.
A few of the areas you need to focus on if you decide to try Local Search Marketing on your own.
|
|
You must do keyword research. You must be able to uncover the most profitable keyword phrases that people are using to find your type of business. Do not guess!
|
|
|
You must do a competitive analysis. Once you have determined which keywords to go after, you must analyze the competition. Your competition is the businesses that are coming up on page one for those keywords. What are they doing? Then, do it better!
|
|
|
You need to understand exactly how to create your business listing. Google looks for specific things and wants a 100% complete listing. Mess this up and you could end up on page 20.
|
|
|
You must have a locally focused, keyword optimized website. The days of getting top rankings in Google Local without a website are over. Google has changed its algorithm and is using your website as a citation now. |
|
|
You need to continuously be submitting to directories. Google is placing a bigger emphasis on citations and you need to be constantly adding more to your business listing.
|
|
|
You must acquire more customer reviews. Google is placing more reviews on the search results and you need to be getting your customers to post them. You must also have a alert system that contacts you when a new review is posted. Not knowing about a negative review can really hurt your business. |
|
|
The most important thing you must do! The key to success is constantly monitoring your listing. Things change constantly and you need to be aware of these changes as they happen. Having your listing drop can cost you money. It is not as simple as get a top listing and walk away. Constant tweaking, reading the analytics, and tracking your competition is essential to staying on top! |
Designing your local business listing and choosing the right places to be is critical if you want to have any chance of making page one of Google.
It is absolutely in your best interests to hire a professional that understands how local search marketing works.
MYTH: The Cost of Hiring a Professional is Way Too High!
If you have been in business for a while, you are probably inundated with phones calls from local search marketing professionals (actually sales reps). These reps are promising you everything in the world and trying to charge huge fees in return.
I have seen charges as high as $3,000 for set up and $400 a month for maintenance. For the average small business owner this is too expensive and you probably have no idea what they are even going to do for you.
Now you can hire a Local Search Marketing company that specializes in Local Search Marketing.
