location-specific results.

location.

like Yelp, Foursquare and Bing Local Search.

These sites are all huge and play a major part in search results.

Know Your Place


Fill in your profile completely and optimize for relevant keywords.

Google Places gives your listing a 'score,' and if it's not filled out, it'll be low.

This adversely affects your ranking in the search results.
Know Your Place


Add plenty of photos and information to your profile.

Highlight your specialties and the things that set your business apart from others
in the area.

This is the kind of information people are looking for.

Also, ask your customers to leave good reviews for you.
Your Mobile Site

Optimize it for location-specific keywords.

A great way to get traffic to your site is to offer mobile coupons.

They click a button and get a deal.

This can be the deciding factor when somebody is trying to choose between
your business and a similar one.
Click To Call


A mobile-only feature that's gaining in popularity is click to call.

You put a button on your site and when they tap the button, their phone makes
the call.

This is much quicker and easier than having to dial the number.

For lots of mobile searchers, when they find a business they like, the next step
is to call them and ask a few questions.

Click to call makes it easy for them to do this.
Local Extentions For AdWords


If you're using Google AdWords, take advantage of local extensions.

This feature automatically attaches your address to your business, which means
that your ads get shown to people who are searching in your local area.

If they type 'pizza' into Google search, they'll get ads that contain both the
keyword and location extensions.
