Yellow Pages Killer

Be Seen

A note about the Yellow Pages Killer: Due to the nature of Google Search, I can only work with two companies at most in the same industry at any given time. If you want your business to get maximum visibility when people search for you online, be sure to let me know as early as possible.

The Yellow Pages don’t work anymore. Yeah, they used to – but nobody is using them anymore. They’re an expensive relic of the past. By using Google Places, we’ll get more customers and more visibility for your business than the Yellow Pages ever could.

Let’s imagine for a moment that people are searching for a business in your industry around 500 times per month on Google. Now imagine that your business is on the first page of Google for that search term. You stand to gain about 50 clicks, or 10% of the search traffic. About 10% of those people will turn into clients (if your website is doing its job). That’s 5 new clients a month. What could 5 clients per month do for your business? That’s 60 clients per year, plus whomever they bring with them, and whoever they tell about your awesome service, and on and on.

The Trifecta of Local Search

Keywords

Keywords. This is what people type into Google, or Yahoo!, or Bing to search for you. We’ll sit down and determine the best words to use for your business so everyone can find you! Many businesses have more than one set of keywords to take advantage of. A clothing store might be able to use “clothing store Columbia” or “men’s clothes Columbia” for example. The more keywords you rank for, the more likely it is that your customers can find you.

Your Website

Your website. When designing a website it’s important to focus on certain areas that will naturally increase your site’s rankings. Things like meta tags, header tags and keyword density all play a part in bringing your site’s SEO strategy together. Not just your front page, but your inner pages are important as well. We make sure every part of your site is properly configured to show up in the search engines and help rank your site.

Local Map Listing

Your local map listing.  It’s important to have a first page spot when the map shows up for search results – most people won’t click to the second page unless they’re looking for a specific business. We add images, videos, location markers, additional information, and relevant categories to your Google Places listing to make it complete and accurate.

Citations

Bonus: Citations. Citations are mentions of your business name, address and phone number that appear in online directories like Yelp. We publish your business information to the top online directories, which will then drip down to over 500 local and national directories. This crucial last step ensures that anyone searching for your business will find you.

Long Term Benefits

• More customers seeing and interacting with your business.
• It’s permanent. Once you set up your Places page, it will always be there.
• Nobody can steal it from you – once you’ve verified your listing, nobody can change it but you.
• I’ll give you a monthly report showing tracking details for your Places page – see how many people searched for you, what they searched for, and how many went on to your website.
