More on Local SEO (search engine optimization)

My frustrations with Google are ongoing. So once I find a way to play nice with them, I want to share it with others.  As I mentioned before, my local SEO listing services is working very well.  Not only is your company information listed correctly on over 50+ websites but Google ranks your site as "authoritative".  This will list your website higher than others because your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) citations on the internet are consistent. Organic (non-paid) ranking for your website is important because Google Ad-words can get expensive and you never know when your competitor will outbid you.  So here are some results:

Go to Google and type in "carpet cleaning Peoria" Do you see Steam Green? Kodie was really happy about this service since he was moving to another address, which I updated.  He also keeps track of his 5 star reviews with this service. 

Go back to Google and type in "demolition Peoria" do you see CDO Trucking?  Again, unpaid ranking on the first page of Google.  I love how this works! 

Now with mobile and GPS, it's important to be visible when people are searching locally.  This service is only $100 per month for current clients and a year commitment. Click here to run your own company report. 
Website Magazine wrote a nice article about Local SEO.  Click here to see it.
Social Media Content

We manage many Facebook and social media accounts.  One thing we always struggle with is content.  After a few years of managing these accounts, we found what works.  Pictures, video, and good relevant articles.  So I put together some social media packages that people can purchase.  They are fun, attention getting and easy.  Simply copy and paste the content into Facebook and schedule your posts.  I only have a couple packages but am adding to it.  Take a look  

Here is a sample of the videos that you are purchasing.  Videos provide 75% more engagement than just text. 

 

   
More Tools for Productivity
There are so many tools out there for increasing your productivity.  I try to find more tools that you can use, preferably free.  I have these posted on my resources page at  http://webservicesinc.net/resources/

You can purchase your own domain name here too.  Don't forget to list your company in the Free Service Directory.  It's just another way for future clients to find you. 

Just a reminder we have lots of computer parts on the tech side of the store.  Chris is selling a variety of things from phone cases to hard drives to ear buds.  Some music always helps productivity!

My new book is finally out!  It's available on

My other book, Simple Ways to Promote Your Business is on Amazon as well.  Stop by the office and take a look.
