If you’re intiмidated by the notion of starting a local SEO campaign, don’t be. It’s actually a pretty straightforward process, though it will take you some time and effort.

Local citation correction. Your first job is to make sure your business is listed accurately and appropriately throughout the web. Claim your local business profile on local directory and review sites such as Yelp and TripAdvisor, as well as any other directories that are relevant for your business.

Ensure that your most important business information -- especially your name, address and phone number -- are accurate and formatted consistently across all of these platforms. If Google notices even a small discrepancy between two different sources, your local authority could drop.

Local content and relationship building. Once all your local information is in place and verified for accuracy, you can start the process of optimizing your content and external links for local relevance. For articles, this is relatively easy -- just be sure to include the name of your city, region or neighborhood in your blog titles and make sure the content is relevant to your location.

Local events and local information articles are perfect opportunities for this. Be sure to guest post on local external blogs, and try to get published on local news outlets with your latest press releases.

With Local SEO you are aiming to get your site ranking for a search within a specific area and with general SEO you are effectively targeting a national audience, by getting a site to appear in Google from anywhere that search is conducted. National targeting is great , however, we know that small businesses will find it difficult to compete in Google search results against the big classified sites such as AutoTrader and Gumtree. What local search does is allows your website to rank for keywords that you otherwise will find it difficult to rank organically for. Let’s look at an example.
