Local SEO & Maps

Are you a local business? If so, you need to maximize your exposure in local directories and online map sites including Google Places, Yahoo Local, Bing Local, Yelp and more. Many of these sites are also emerging as the primary source of local business information on iPhones, iPads, Android Phones, Android Tablets and other mobile devices. In fact, iPhone and Android app phones are pre-loaded with Google Maps which pulls local business information from Google Places.

The Clever Robot knows how to secure your position in these directories. Many of the tactics are similar to those used in SEO services but there are some distinct differences.

How Our Map Optimization Service works:

• First, we create a complete and compelling profile on the local directory sites. Your profile will include your important keywords to maximize your rankings on those keyword searches. We write the content and work with the business owner to verify their listing.
• Second, customer reviews are an important factor in how your business is perceived online. We’ll setup the our Customer Reviews Social Tracking Tool to proactively request reviews of your business. We can request reviews daily, weekly or monthly.
• Finally, we will work to build citations or online references to your business on other directory sites. Citations are similar to links except that they often are built by mention of phone number, business name and address.
• When a customer clicks on your ad, we take them to the page on your site that has the information that best matches their search.

The Clever Robot tracks the placement of your local profile in the search results and continues to make adjustments, build citations and request reviews.
