Local SEO: 7 Factors You Must Consider

Local business listings—especially Name, Address and Phone (NAP) information—comprise the anchor identity of a local business online. Local businesses should enhance their listings with unique descriptive keywords, links, logos and more to help their listings stand out.

According to Nielson: More than 30% of local searches are now performed on a mobile device. And that is an increase from about 25% a year ago. That’s significant. 

According to the NPD Group, a provider of consumer and retail market research, 97% of internet users in the U.S. use the internet to research products they intend to buy as well as to shop for them. Over fifty percent of this group did their research online and then made their purchase at a physical location.

The printed Yellow Page directory has become obsolete.  82% of local Internet searches follow-up offline with an in-store visit, phone call or purchase. 94% of users clicked on a first page Google result and less than 6% clicked on a second page result.

At the SEO workshop on October 22nd, we’ll discuss 7 smart local SEO tips that will help you increase visibility for your business in your local area.  You’ll pick up some handy tips on local web site marketing strategy and also enjoy a networking opportunity with other local business owners.
