Exposing A Local Business or Service With Geo-Blogging
Posted by: Brian In: Blogging| Target Keywords
Local business can drive a lot of business from a website. Targeting keywords is not hard, and you can beat nationwide companies using a few techniques.
I blog for a service related company currently. I post industry news and tips and trick on doing the job and informing more about they type of service we offer. I did this for months and months, gathering traffic, most from Google searches. Many times a local business will service a lot of towns/ cities. I realized that a lot of my blog post title names were placing well in Google, so I tried an experiment.
What if I mentioned a town I service, with what I do after it? ex.[Little Rock Carpet Cleaning]
I found that this works very well. Within a few hours I was in the top 4 results for that keyword. I don’t want to get greedy, so I am going to keep it at 1 max per day. Inside the post I will talk a little about the town, and stress that we do a lot of business in the town, and list our services.
I will keep you updated to if this brings traffic from Google and if I keep ranking well.
