Local Search Optimization
When searching for a product or service in a specific area such as Vancouver, the first listing to appear in Google is often the Local Business Results. Known simply as Local Search, Google displays a map with up to 7 companies listed to the right lettered A to G located near the area searched.
For example, searching on Google for Blinds Vancouver displays:
As the map listings are often at the top of the search results, using Local Search Optimization is a great way to appear of the first page of Google.
Notice is the example above Golden Draperies & Blinds does not have a website listed. Your listing in the Local Business Results is completely separate from your website. While I highly recommend you setup a WordPress website if you don’t yet have one, using Local Search Optimization, you can appear on the first page of Google with or without a website.
Call 604-817-1032 or a quotation to have you business listed bedside the Google map on the Local Business Results. It’s a great place to start your SEO.
