Local SEO

Local SEO Services for Small Businesses in the Philadelphia Area

Local search is a growing facet of the online search experience. Web users are increasingly interested in searching for local information regarding places of interest and area businesses. These searchers are usually looking to find certain businesses of a given industry in a particular region, be it a state, city/town, or city-neighborhood level of focus. Searchers gather information about these businesses and what they offer, getting contact details, check hours of operation, and mapping directions. In tern, local SEO works to optimize the web presence of businesses specifically for local search in order to gain greater visibility and increase the average position of search engine results.

Many local businesses cater to customers in a specific location so they benefit immensely from our local SEO services that address both general visibility and search engine traffic. Our services increase their rankings on the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) and increase overall online exposure for relevant industry and location-specific search queries. In simple terms, our local SEO efforts increase the reach these businesses have in their local context, putting their information in front of more people online – giving them an advantage over their local competition.

Local SEO has evolved a great deal over the past few years and WebiMax has worked to consistently refine and adapt our practices. We focus comprehensive SEO campaigns to directly target local search engine traffic to improve the average position data for rankings that the pages of interest have. As an example of local search and SEO, catering to the area surrounding our headquarters in Mount Laurel, NJ, web-users perform location-specific search queries such as "Philadelphia SEO Company" or "restaurants in center city Philadelphia."

The second search includes the phrase "center city" which brings the focus of the search to a specific neighborhood or part of town that businesses can optimize for. Depending on the scale of your target region and audience, WebiMax can get you the sort of visibility and average position on the search engines that your small business needs.

Local search has been a growing trend and now with the considerable rise in smartphone adoption, local search has an elevated importance. As a result, mobile only extends the opportunity to maximize a local SEO campaign.

99% of respondents from a recent global Google study use search engines on their smartphone, and searching for local businesses is one of the most popular searches – 40% of all searches from smartphones are locally focused.

Geo-targeting

Geo-targeting is the use of specific tools and optimization practices to achieve local SEO goals. The appropriate settings and tools are utilized, domains are leveraged, page coding is managed, and on and off-site content is optimized all to give search engine algorithms the most representative indication of what location is most relevant to a website and its pages. This achieves greater web exposure for relevant location and industry-specific terms plugged into search queries.
