Local SEO Services

Local SEO is a perfect strategy for small companies for selling their products or services in specific geographical area.

With changing media usage habits, people are spending less time with print publications or in front of the television, instead they are  spending more time on Internet. So it is natural that local business should be visible in this medium too. Nearly all consumers now use online media when researching products or services in their local area. According to a consumers survey, 90 percent use search engines, 48 percent use Internet Yellow Pages, 24 percent use vertical sites, and 42 percent use comparison shopping sites.

Also, today’s user friendly local search engines give business listings including company details, addresses, phone number, e-mails, URL, maps, directions and also customers reviews. So drive your sales and Internet traffic through advertising your business in local search engines. The three major search engine players, Google, Yahoo! and Bing also have a significant presence and focus on local search.
