Local SEO for Even MORE Traffic and Exposure
Do you need more website traffic?
You're laughing at me right now, right? LOL! I know, I know, silly question. Who doesn't need more traffic.
Well, for me, I attack SEO and website traffic from every angle possible. It I can gain some branding exposure, get in some lead generation or content marketing to pull traffic to my website, I'm going to attack it like a tiger going after a filet mignon.
So, after performing my on-page SEO and continuing with my off-page SEO, as well as some high quality, engaging and unique content, I began looking into Local SEO.
What is Local SEO?
Local SEO is a subset of search engine optimization that helps people in your area find you on the search engines.
Now, this may not be for everyone as it can lead others in your local geographic area to you personally. But, for me, I'm cool with that. I'm proud of Wealthy Affiliate and promote it whenever I can. My friends know I make money online and I'm an entreprenuer at heart.
So, if you're feeling this same, this article can help you increase your reach, brand exposure, leads and bottom-line revenue.
This is EASY to setup and doesn't take long at all. Oh... and the best part.... It's FREE!
I used Google Places when I was running a virtual secretarial business and it worked well because I was targeting local businesses.
I am wondering, because I live in New Zealand but my affiliate marketing sites target USA, would using Google Places for local marketing have a detrimental effect on my global outreach?
