There's very little point in going world wide without a digital product of some kind. Being seen locally is very important. You want to be seen online preferably in a local search situation when people (70% of everyone) search to check out what's out there and verify your credentials. This is usually done before they commit to spending money with you or anyone. Thanks for getting the word out. Excellent tips.

Search engine optimisation for local Businesses is quite tricky. It seems that it's easy to get listed in the local results following the above but to remain there is not so easy and required a lot of effort. Also, was wondering whether there is any automated tool that returns ranking results for local business results. Great article!

Although competition for general web design-related terms is very stiff, you may be able to easily rank on the first page of search engines for a local term. You may even prefer working with local clients anyway. To target local visitors use city, state or province names in your page titles and throughout your site when appropriate. Additionally, work on building links to your site with localities in the anchor text of the links. (To read more, see Search Engine Optimization for Local Business Results.)

Also if you use seo for firefox or just use yahoo site explorer take a look at where your local competitors are getting their links from. I got a link for a client of mine from a couple .edu sites and .orgs. Also I would highly recommend making sure there are good reviews in yelp for your city. My client is on top for all her categories we picked for Google local and I believe its because we have a good yelp rating. I also added a yelp link from the home page to the yelp review page. So far it has worked very well for all her local key words I like the advice and would add to get a link from the local chamber of commerce.

Change the categories to your strongest keywords and use your city/region in the category as well.
