Search engine optimization (SEO) enhances your global online presence; local listing optimization increases your community’s viewership.
Local SEO procures a consumer base which can physically visit your company’s office. For many businesses, local SEO presents a strong online advertising incentive. For example, a dentistry practice or a massage therapist needs customers who can make personal appearances in their office. Businesses which offer physical services require high local search engine rankings to connect with a relevant customer base.

This goes without saying. However, businesses which don’t depend on actual visitations might not realize that local listing optimization will prove advantageous to them, as well. Internet users frequently use local keywords – e.g. “Austin books” or “Texas apparel” – for products which they could easily get online, and often do end up purchasing from a website. People trust local businesses more than services delivered from across the country. Even if your company doesn’t have a physical neighborhood address for your consumers to visit, simply notifying the public of your status as a local business expands your client list. Approximately 35% of keyword searches specify locale. Your conversion rate jumps when you utilize local SEO, as 61% of searches for local businesses translate into paying customers.

Our web marketers use specialized SEO techniques to put you at the top of your local search engine map. Popular search engines offer localized options, such as Google Local and Yahoo! Local. By embedding your website in these local search specialties as well as the global search engines, we increase your web traffic with interaction from your target audience.
At Fahrenheit Marketing, we also enhance your site’s local SEO content to appeal to local consumers. To gain the public’s trust, we suggest your company use a local number instead of an 800 number; we also encourage you to use a local address as opposed to a P.O. Box. Many people associate 800 numbers and P.O. boxes with scams, giving them and the companies which use them a dubious taste. When applicable, our online marketers make sure maps and directions to your business are easily accessible and customizable. Our copywriters create content with keywords appropriate to your area’s target audience as well as the global community.

Many consumers go directly to business listings to discover local companies, such as CitySearch and YellowPages. Our e-marketers place your website on a variety of search pages to certify high online traffic volume. We write reviews to put on Yahoo! and Yelp, linking back to your homepage with positive yet sincere commentary.
Our web designers also make your website easy to view from a Blackberry or iPhone, since many individuals use their cellular internet access to find business near their current location at any given time. We integrate mobile SEO into your website to ensure any customer can discover your business from anywhere, at any time.
