How To Design Your Website To Profit From Local SEO Results

The process of building a website to capture the local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) traffic starts with doing your keyword research. It's important to do extensive research to find all the terms that relate to your business, not just a few of the obvious terms.

You can optimize each web page with 2-3 keyword phrases matched with the towns or state you are targeting. First you need to define the profitability of your business and determine the size of your market. Don't think that just because you are a plumber there is only one keyword "plumber" that a consumer searches. That was fine before the internet, when customers had only the Yellow pages. Today customers search for the information they want. If they have a leaky faucet, that's what they may search for. If you don't come up under the term "leaky faucet" you may not get the call.

Once you have defined all the keywords relating to your business, the next step is to lay the terms out by category. If you take the time to create educational information on your site, page by page with the appropriate keywords you will be rewarded. A site optimized with the correct phrases, supported by quality, educational content creates trust and credibility that converts to sales. It also makes the sale process quicker since the customer already trusts you.
Optimize each page with 2-3 keyword phrases and a ten page website can easily have 30 terms that can rank highly for a search. If you create links from one page to another and have a blog as part of your site that you update regularly, the search engines will start to learn about your business. When the search engines start to learn, you will start ranking for combinations of words. 30 keywords can easily produce 50 or more top ranked positions on the search engines.

If you maintain your blog twice a week, optimizing each new post, you will obtain even more positions. It' s fairly easy to end up with well over 100 top ranked terms on the major engines. Considering that your competition likely will not make the effort, you have the opportunity to become the leader in your local market. This can be achieved in every part of the country. Even in the highly competitive residential real estate industry, the opportunity to cultivate a huge amount of buyers and sellers is wide open.

It's very important that along with all the keywords that you create quality educational content that is valuable to your visitor. There's nothing like getting a call from a customer who completely trusts you after they have spent time becoming educated on your website.
