Search Engine Optimization
Improve Local Search Results
At the most basic level, what is it most local business marketers really want when it comes to search?
- They want to make sure they're included in search results
- They want to be accurately listed, with their business name, description, location, and phone number correctly displayed.
It's only after these two goals have been met that marketers can be really interested in improving their visibility and results. Unfortunately, these very basic needs aren't being realized for many businesses today, meaning prospective customers can't easily find them, contact them, or walk in their doors.
The following four steps will help insure that your business is fully and accurately represented in local search engine results and Internet Yellow Pages. Work through the following steps if you want to list you business yourself:
- Update your business directory listings. Visit the Amacai, infoUSA, and Acxiom websites. There you can find your business listing and verify or update it as needed.
- Submit your site to local search engines. Submit your website to local search engines such as Google Local, MSN Local, Yahoo Local, Ask Local, and TrueLocal or click on the image link below for some help.
- Update your Internet Yellow Pages listings. Likewise, find and update your listings at YellowPages.com, Verizon SuperPages, and SwitchBoard.com or click the links below for some help.
- Feature your address on your website. Make sure your physical address is prominently displayed on your website. This tells search engines what "local" means to you. Obviously, list your address on the "Contact Us" page, but make sure it's also included on the home page or even include it in the footer of every page. In addition, make sure you use words on your site that describe the geography you actually serve, such as "San Diego-La Jolla area," "San Diego Metro Area," or "state of California."

Search Engine Placement & Optimization
Franco Web Solutions is
a leader in website visibility and search
engine marketing. Whether you're looking for pay-per-click
traffic, top search engine rankings,
or global search engine placement, Franco
Web Solutions delivers with exceptional professionalism.
Surveys have found that 99% of
all internet users use at least one of the ten major search engines to
find what they are looking for. If your website is not found within the first
few pages of a search query, then the odds of your website being
found are close to non-existent.
Many marketing companies on the web submit your site using automated
systems, which most search engines have banned. Unless your site
is properly formatted, the search engine spiders may
not list your website, or you will be poorly
ranked, or your site may be banned from
their search engine database.
"You may have the best looking site on the
web, or the best product that everyone is looking for,
but if no one visits your site, you're not going
to make any money."
