Lately I was approached by a local Virginia Locksmith Company for seo consulting. They needed a plan for a major expending they planned on doing in a short time to other countries and areas within the united states.
Needles to say that a plan of growth especially in such scale requires carful planning. They wished to construct and market 30 new websites as their first move and then expend to 90 other cities in varies countries across the united states according to punctilious keyword research.
Local Web Marketing
No doubt about it. Google and other search engines serve local results! That is especially true when talking about professional service providers such as locksmith, plumbers, electrician and so on…
Why is that smart?
Say we are locked outside our home and want to call a locksmith… we open our iphone and start looking for one using of course… the web! If for some reason we get a company that isn’t located close to us we are just wasting our time. After all we are in a need a fast response.
From a business point of view
Even from a business point of view, spreading the money / orders to a variety of business owners is better then giving it all to one locksmith company and so the local system works better and supplies a larger number a chance to appear in the search results related to service they provide.
Google maps role
In many fields it is obvious that Google has taken a different approach and Google maps plays a major role. The first 8 results being displayed when search for a local service are Google maps results. That means that the first step must be registering your business to Google maps and working to get some great reviews.
Using Google maps poses a real problem since each business requires a viable address to be submitted even before the waiting period while waiting for a validation code from Google. Solutions are up to your imagination but it’s a fact that not all companies maintain an office where they supply services.
Seo Keyword Research and domains
The first step in such a takeover or expending is to carefully select the cities in which you plan to offer you services. That could be achieve by an extensive keyword research which is basically a “popularity definer”.
The amount of searches being done on a specific keyword is a better market research tool then most business and even web marketing experts realize. Google is actually sharing data on a community behavior so use it wisely.
Domains and websites
Since we are planning to work using a local based search engine we must create a website especially for any city we plan to work in. from that aspect wordpress is a great tool and many web designers use wordpress in order to supply a duplicated website with different content while maintaining a homogeneous look which helps brand your company but still offer some personalization maybe by changing the logo and including that specific country symbol.
Shopping around for domains is also a difficult task since we would love all our websites to own the same name with a small change usually the city name but most of the time we might find that is hard to do since most great domain names are already taken in most places or at least in some. Don’t let that stop you. While domain name is important small differences in the names are less important then a good website title and structure.
