Optimizing your site for local search
Local search can be supported simply by properly including local information in your web pages. If your web page is properly optimized and also tuned for local search, then customers will know to frequent your business when they need particular goods or services.

Local Search Matters - Local Search Counts

When creating or optimizing your site the above should be your battle cry. Be honest, if you need product or service in the home decor centric market do you care about someone 2000 miles away? There anwser is almost always no unless it is a very unique speciality item. But your carpet, tile, stone, lighting, landscaping needs, garage organization products etc. etc. are local in nature.

Here are a few tips to help you along the way.

Your title tag is one of the most important parts of your site and many businesses have completely ignored them. You know, the words in the bar at the very top. Use local search terms. If your company is ABC Landscaping then a title for your page might read " ABC Landscaping Serving all of Mesa Tempe Chandler in Arizona " and on another page a slight variation so each page has your business name and local names because that is how people search.

Your website is the new front door to your business. Paying attention helps your business while ignoring it hurts your business. It really is that simple.

Use this same method in your copy. If you do business in maricopa county then make sure you refer to that in the actual copy of your web site. That is what the search engines see.

Here is the quick explanation of RSS
RSS (short for really simple syndication) is an XML-based format for news distribution that includes headlines, summaries and links back to a publisher website for the full article. You load RSS news feeds into a reader or visit them on a personalized web page. RSS keeps you up-to-the-moment on your favorite news sources, providing an indicator when news breaks. You may use any of the popular RSS readers to organize your own feeds, including feeds from Advertising Age listed below. See our recommended links to popular RSS readers.

This means when you update your site people don't have to remember they are automatically notified through their reader. Is is like having a free town crier.
