What Is "Local" Search Engine Optimization?

"Localized" SEO is the understanding that a large percentage of your business comes from people searching for you from within your local community. More than 40% of all searches performed include a localized keyword component, and when it comes to targeted traffic, people who plan on physically going to your brick and mortar location will include the city in the keywords nearly 96% of the time. Focus specializes in "localized" SEO for businesses that operate within a certain geographic location, and understands that capturing top results for localized searches is what creates real customers, and not just random traffic to your site.

*Additionally, for many clients we focus on "localized" social media marketing as part of our unique strategic blend, utilizing local directories, blogs, forums and social media platforms like Twitter, MySpace and Facebook to communicate with your customers within their community. It is not all about links, it is about creating customers as well

In addition to the standard SEO process we will also submit client's URL to the following local search engines (over 40 different local search engines and directories):
