Having a website is not enough if you intend to compete in the local marketplace. You must have your businesses website optimized to help you boost your local area search presence and Google Places page. Up until the end of 2010, a fully optimized landing site (that is your businesses website that was linked to your Places page) was not needed. Just having your website in your places listing was good enough. Then Google started implementing their new “blended” results around October of 2010, and now optimizing your businesses site is vital to your rankings for local area search.
If in the past you hired an SEO company to optimize your business site to rank high in the search engines, you are probably shaking your head right now. Maybe you went from search page 900 to page 100 for your business of selling “widgets”. The SEO company claimed success and you saw no increased business. Well of course not, no more people searched for widgets on page 100 then they did on page 900. A local company cannot compete with a global corporation in the SEO game. The search engines knew that, and that is why local area search results were implemented and are high priority areas in the search engine industry. We optimize your website help rank your places page in a local area search for your goods or services. And if your places page ranks on page one for a local area search, your website ranks on page one and your business shows up above all the global corporations and their millions spent on SEO every year.
Website SEO for local area search is similar but slightly different then historical search engine optimization. Most of the traditional SEO techniques come into play like, proper key word usage, clean code, backlinks etc, but now there are some other nuances that will be needed to be optimized for Google Places rankings. Some of these things are obvious, like a consistent address, business hours and some are not like adding geographical data embedded inside the code.
We have a fivestep strategy when optimizing your business website to boost your places rankings:
So success in the local market starts with gearing your website to boost your Google places page. When your Places page shows up on page one, the link will direct people to your website. If people are searching for what you offer, and you show up, you will greatly increase the calls to your business. More customers will mean more profit and greater stability. We provide you with the tools to make that happen. But it doesn’t stop with website SEO, [hilight-yellow] a social media marketing program is also crucial. [/hilight-yellow]
Learn MoreWell it all starts here. I guess you can call this the bread and butter of what of the work that we will be doing for your local business. Everything else we do is simply set to enhance the authority of this result page. Mistakes here can be devastating as well as having many areas that can be optimized to help you dominate the first page of Google for local area searches in your business category.
Let us assume you have a owner verified listing and that listing is 100% complete. Does this mean we are fully optimized? Not by a long shot. The 100% complete is the minimum percentage that Google uses to assess your business in how it ranks with other businesses. If you are 100% complete, then it shows you have done at least the minimum amount of work they require.
We will break it down section by section and address the areas here that iYelloo Internet Marketing will be optimizing for you to catapult you into the first few listings on the first page of Google. We will go sequentially from to top bottom.
![]()
Information Section–
The information section is actually pretty straight forward. You will need your citation here complete and consistent with your business listings on your website and all other citation listings. One warning here is to leave off the four digit extension to your zip code. In some cases, this may cause Google problems matching up all your web based citations to you places page. Your landing page (your business website) must not only be listed, but listed in a consistent manner. There are a few other possible roadblocks that many people miss here, we will be sure to check that you have not.
Your main picture should be a clear company logo. This has nothing to do with ranking you higher in local searches, but with blended results, this picture will be clearly viable in the search query results page. A nice clear logo is much more inviting then a fuzzy picture of the outside of your business.
Your categories listing must be all about what your business is. They must not be full of “invalidating” terms that even many SEO companies think produce results. Having these in your listing may have worked in the past, but Google is severely cracking down on this practice. Having them listed here could not only hurt your rankings in local area search, but get your page penalized and de-indexed. We are experts on creating good categories and avoiding the dreaded penalties.
Your hours of business must match what your website claims.
A description of 200 characters sounds like a place for you to tell everyone how nice and genuine you are, it is not however. Very few business owners get this one right and with good reason; it is sort of like working a jigsaw puzzle. This 200 character description must be written in a fashion that optimizes the listing without just being fluff. In a 200 character cap, this is not an easy thing to do. We will work with you to get a description that not only highlights your businesses strong points, but pleases Google.
![]()
Details Section–
In the main details section are main job is just to make sure it is complete. This is one section that you as a business owner should be able to optimize. There are no real points here that set you apart, ranking wise, from your competition. The same cannot be said for MORE DETAILS.
This is your businesses performance evaluation for Google. Most businesses hardly know what to really put in here and just let it auto fill. You can just let others input your authority accomplishments(Dex Knows, Yahoo, Angieslist etc), or you can let us find the little known ones, and input them. We will be able to find all of your accomplishments (the ones on the Internet of course) and properly input these manually to boost your performance evaluation.
If any section is underutilized and haphazardly optimized by the majority of business owners while setting up their Places pages, it is this section. The photos and videos area not only needs the full compliment of 10 pictures and 5 videos, but they all need to be properly geo-tagged with precise latitude and longitude as well as geo-centric information. To not properly optimize this section is handing your competitors customers and removing revenue from your pocket. We can optimize your pictures and videos for you with great attention to detail allowing for a great boost in your local search engine positioning.
Reviews inside your Google Places page, and from other review sites, are vital for your long term success in holding on to the top spots in local area search rankings. We can sit down and discuss some long term strategies on how you can entice customers to provide those reviews, including the use of QR Codes. It is also important to get those reviews indexed, because a review only counts if it is indexed. iYelloo Internet Marketing has a vast network of web properties that will backlink to your reviews, month after month, making sure they all get counted by Google.
Citations are counted as the votes the rest of the Internet gives to your Google Places Page. Most business owners assume that citations are automatically found and counted. To some degree this is true, but only for a portion of them. Citations also need to have a boost that we can provide with our vast network of authority sites sending backlinks to them. These backlinks will alert Google and add authority to your citations that will then let Google index them. We also utilize vastly more web resources, including many specialty resources, then most SEO companies. There is also numerous other web properties that Google will accept citations from. When your citations slowly grow from 30 individual counts to 30 full pages, Google treats that as authority. Votes are power and we can provide long term power for your business.
Now once you have you Google Places Page optimized, and have our team boosting your offsite assets continuously month-to-month, it is now time to think about your landing page. A landing page is your companies website that is used when a user clicks on your blended result. Late 2010 Google started to migrate to this new blended result and one of the biggest changes is that your landing page is fully integrated into you Places results. This includes what information is presented, and where your listing ranks. So lets now move on to [hilight-yellow]Website SEO[/hilight-yellow].
