Start at Home - We've discussed this in our seminars for some time now but it really does work. Google is striving for localization in the online marketplace. Why not, it helps their advertising revenue. With 27 million small businesses, it only makes sense that Google wants to help small businesses that want to get started with their own counties or states are the most likely to benefit.

Using more targeted, long tailed keywords for in search engine optimization will yield a smaller volume but more targeted conversion oriented traffic.What a great idea right?. Traffic from long tailed keywords (product or service centric) has proven to be more likely to result in conversions than more general keywords. By attaching the name of your city or state to keywords in your meta titles, anchor text, backlinks, PPC ads and other content, you'll be more likely to be found by potential customers from your own area.

Example: If you're targeting the keyword with search engine optimization "carpet cleaning services" and your store is in the Atlanta area, you might want to go with "Carpet Cleaning Services Atlanta". It won’t keep you from being competitive nationally, but it will put you in a position of strength when getting top local listings.
