Some of take aways were;

  • Just because your are targeting local, you still are in many cases competing with National competitors
  • If you fix a website whether it is Local or National it is still the same process and still costs the same amount
  • If you are spending 5 hours on SEO for Local Search and your competitors are spending 50 hours still tough to compete.
  • Local Search = SEO
  • Google Maps is a great tool for ranking for local keyword phrases
  • Local does not equal “cheaper” or “lower cost” to optimize for the search engines.

Here is the video to get your own take aways from the video. I think it is a great video to share with clients.

It is also great for local organic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and we have been finding on average a 10% click through rate which is about 4 times greater then the Pay Per Click ads which we also feel is important. Google has created 3 elements now to their search results page.

  • Google Maps
  • PPC (sponsored links)
  • and the “organic, free, natural” listings where you can show up on the “left hand side” of Google where most of the traffic comes from.
