Nowadays, small businesses are concentrating more on their local search engine results. Even well-known establishments, such as the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago (remember the SNL skit?), are focusing on how to improve their local rankings in search engines. Check out our newest infographic that offers top tips for small businesses that wish to optimize their local SEO. We also reveal some factors to avoid when trying to get a site ranked locally.

    That’s a revealing infographic. Yet again, it just shows the immense power of Google. Having a place page seems to be one of the most important factors in getting found locally. I don’t have a business as such so I don’t actually have a place page.

    However I have been experimenting with other ways of getting local traffic. I would recommend putting at least one geo-specific keyword (preferably a city name) in your domain name if possible.

    In regards to it being bad to have multiple place pages with the same address. We are moving in to a new location where the previous tenant still is listed in Places under our address. Will this hurt us? How do we go about getting them removed?

    Thanks!

    I’m glad for the increased exposure my google maps place page is giving my business.
