Therefore, having a well-designed website with local keywords strategically placed may be exactly what you need to increase your conversion rate. This is because many potential customers will type in phrases such as: "Meadow store" or "Stacy's Plumbing", instead of "How to Make a Bride Out of Me", which is more specific. However, the more specific you can make your description, the better optimized it will be for search engines.So you see, SEO content writing isn't about writing a bunch of keywords and stuffing them into every single paragraph.

  2. SEO strategy implementation.* Understand your audience: Understand your target audience and the type of content they are searching for. You may want to focus on building a local SEO campaign focused on a particular industry, city, or region, or you may want to create a general business local SEO campaign. In either case, understand your potential customers and their typical search patterns. Your keyword research should focus on identifying these patterns for each industry, region, or city.* Know your competitors: Evaluate your competition and see what methods of search engine optimization they are using. Focus on what types of content and ways of leveraging SEO they are using, as well as how well these methods are benefiting them. You can use competitor analysis to see what aspects of their campaigns are working for or against them, as well as get a sense of their target demographic. If you find a common theme, such as a very high level of link building, a great deal of local SEO can be applied.* Know your most important keywords: A business' local SEO strategy depends significantly on finding the best way to rank for highly searched key phrases. Keyword research is extremely important for this purpose. Google and other search engines will rate your site very favorably if you use the best keywords for your market. The higher your rank, the more likely it is that your site will be seen, and therefore, the more likely customers will become repeat visitors.* Optimize your site for the most relevant keywords: Local SEO is all about optimizing your site for the search engines. If you optimize for the wrong key phrases or regions, it won't matter how many links you have on other sites, because the search engines will not give you any credit. For example, let's say you're located in Chicago, but a large number of people are searching for pizza in Toronto. If you have a site optimized for Toronto pizza joints but have little to no traffic coming from there, you won't get much benefit from your optimization efforts.

Ensure your site features on citation sites and online business directories. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/local SEO http://query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch/?action=click&contentCollection&region=TopBar&WT.nav=searchWidget&module=SearchSubmit&pgtype=Homepage#/local SEO http://edition.cnn.com/search/?text=local SEO
