Simple way to Improve Local Search Engine Optimization

Many people ask us how can they improve SEO (Search Engine Optimization) without spending a lot of money and time.  Our most common answer to this problem is to create a Google Places Account for your business, but why stop at just Google, set up accounts on Yahoo! Local and Bing Business Portal. 

With a proper listing on these sites you will be able to improve local traffic to your website to gain business.  For most businesses doing this and following a few basic SEO strategies will help them become industry leaders in their local market. 

Listening To The Little Voices

Your customers are talking! Are you listening?
Every where you go you find user reviews about everything from apricots to zoos. You can even review other people's reviews. Everyone has an opinion they want to share, but does it matter if you're not listening?

Companies spend millions of dollars every year trying to get customer ratings and feedback on their products, but they've missed the freebie in their own backyard.

Do a search on your product or company, set up a blog and ask for reviews, list your product on Amazon and then take advantage of the time other people have put into reviewing your product. They are probably more realistic than putting someone into a dark room for hours before bombarding them with questions in the hopes of generating an unbiased response. Whew! That was a long thought... maybe more of a rant. *smile*
