Localised Search - Is your website being found by a Local Search?

What is a Local Search?
When you search for something using a location in your keywords for example 'seo services manchester' you will find that Google will display a map at the top with links to a number of local results.

Research has shown that around 70% of household users perform some kind of search for a local product or service on a daily basis.

As you already know it is very important to ensure that your website appears as high up in the search engine rankings as possible. As the local results are now appearing high up for the majority of searches you can get added traffic to your site by submitting your website to the local results.

Most internet users when they choose to do business with a company will want to deal with a local business first rather than deal with a company based a million miles away. If your website is not getting listed on local results then you could be missing out on potential customers.

There are two major search engines Google and Yahoo who offer a local listing service for your website.
