Thanks for your idea
Hi Rehana,
It is very important to rank among the top 3 local search results as the Google Local Pack generates 67%+ of the traffic for a keyword. A friend of mine who is a SEO expert is launching a platform by the name of Uplift Local that has a huge directory base of 1000 sites and is free to use. They are signing up beta users. You should take a spin at that. In case you do not want to go for a tool, you should try to identify the most relevant 50 directories in your business area and build consistent citations there. But it is advised to use a tool so that you can save on your precious time. Also, having a great Google Plus profile for the business helps a lot.
Happy Marketing!
1. Place/Location Pages: Getting your website listings onto Google Places (and/or Yahoo! and Bing Local Listings) with the most up-to-date and accurate information can dramatically impact your ability to rank locally.
2. On-Page: Local businesses thrive on placing geo-targeted keywords in page titles and content, including vital NAP (name, address and phone number) contact information on the website, and by linking the website with the appropriate search engine listings like Google Places.
3. Off-Page: Submitting and verifying NAP information to third-party local business directories like Yelp, Citysearch, MerchantCircle, Insider Pages, Angie’s List, and Zagat – to name a few of the top ones—is crucial to an all-around plan of attack. Also, leveraging tools like Yext in your local strategy is a strong way to organize your listings and reach several business directories quickly.
