Search Engine Optimization for Local Areas

By

Local SEOSearch engine optimization is a way of improving your site so that it gets more attention from the search engines when they come around to index you. This is done, in part, by developing content for the site. One way to make sure your site is seen is to make an effort to target your local area. For an Atlanta, Georgia pest control business, for example, it would be much easier and more productive to develop content specific to Atlanta, Georgia than it would be to develop content about pest control in general.

This is simply due to competition. If your search engine optimization efforts are for pest control on the whole, you’re going to be competing with every single pest control business out there. This includes the huge national names and more. If you’re only doing business in Atlanta, anyway, there’s no point in trying to get to the top of the heap for pest control on a national level. Even if you cover the entire state of Georgia, it makes sense to have a lot of search engine optimization effort directed toward the state than it does to have it directed to a more national audience.

Consider who you really want to reach when you’re working on search engine optimization. Web designers can help you to determine good strategies for this effort and can develop your site accordingly. They’ll also make sure that the code that makes your site work is up to web development standards, which is another hugely important part of SEO. The search engines thrive on providing good resources, so they tend to look favorably upon businesses that go to the trouble to make their sites a bit better than the rest and that emphasize standards-compliant and reliable designs.
