Local Search Optimization - Local Business Marketing - Things To Consider

local seo

If you own a site, you know how hard it can be to get ranked for a popular keyword, and how difficult local business marketing can be. Usually, if the keyword is popular enough, there are already so many other sites that rank well for it. If you have a large marketing budget you might be able to work to rank on the first or second page of the search engines for that particular keyword. On the other hand if you don't have a lot of money, and you want people to find your site, you may want to try a different approach. Instead of working towards ranking for generic keywords, it probably would be in your best interest to work towards ranking for locally targeted keywords.

Local SEO is the process of working to get your site ranked for keywords that are specific to a particular area. This differs to regular search engine marketing in that instead of trying to appeal to everyone across a particular country, you are just focusing on those in a particular city, or town. This helps to generate leads from people who would be very interested in your product or service.

This type of focused marketing also helps cut down on wasted marketing efforts. More often than not, ads are shown to people that not only have no interest in your product, or service, but are in a location that would make it almost impossible to gain access to what you have to offer. By focusing on just showing your ads to people that could actually take advantage of your offer, you minimize the possibility of wasting valuable marketing dollars.

Below is a video with some ideas on how to dominate local search results.

FreeLoader Solar Battery Charger

I know there have been times when I've been playing on my PSP or listening to music on my iPod, and the battery dies. If you're near an electrical outlet, this isn't to bad of a situation, but there are other times when I can't get to an electrical outlet when my battery died (there's a restaurant in Dallas called Loft 610. Great place to eat, but they have virtually no outlets). That's where the FreeLoader comes in. The best way to describe this device is that it's a compilation of mini solar cells, is very portable, can easily be charged up, and holds onto the power it has obtained for up to three months (pretty cool, huh?). After you get it charged up you can then use it to charge up your electronic devices and gadgets such as your MP3 player, iPod, PSP, and so forth. This device of convenience is just barely bigger than a cell phone and is made of aluminium (the lightweight variety). Plus, the FreeLoader can be pulled open to uncover not one, but

MrBeast Burger - My Experience

  *** DISCLAIMER: At the time of this writing, I did not work for MrBeast or any of his affiliates. Also, I used my own money to pay for the meal mentioned and reviewed in this writing. If you have ever scoured the Internet looking for entertaining videos besides the latest cute cat video... You have, undoubtedly, come across a video by MrBeast . MrBeast is a very well known Youtuber with millions of subscribers stretching across several channels. In his videos, MrBeast, along with friends Karl, Chris, and Chandler can be seen doing crazy stunts and giving away large sums of money to people of various walks of life. Recently, MrBeast decided to create MrBeast Burger - a virtual restaurant brand where people can use a branded mobile app or website to order fast food items delivered to their door ( in some areas, you can actually pick up the items yourself, but at the time of this writing, that option was not available in the DFW area ). \ I really do admire all of th
