<\/a>If you\u2019re a local provider of services like house painting, grass cutting, plumbing or maybe a small business establishment such as a daycare center, the following information is intended for you. These are certainly not enough for those running a large website, an affiliate website or an e-commerce store, whose target is the wide online market. For this, you\u2019ll definitely need a professional and custom SEO help. Having the knowledge of how SEO can really be so complicated and skill- demanding, most likely, you already understand its priceless value to an online business. But hiring the professional services of an SEO and spending thousands of dollars for a website with a few pages offering local services in a small area is like hiring an expert only to do something you can do by yourself. Oftentimes, these are the types of websites in which small and basic SEO implementations will suffice.<\/p>\n The following basic SEO checklist is aimed at small business owners that are not totally reliant online for their living, but are rather here to generate some leads from non-competing local keyword combinations by running a website with a few pages.\u00a0 That is, aside from giving out helpful information for all visitors regardless if they come from local marketing efforts or from the search engines.<\/p>\n After the necessary elements are established, the following most important information must appear in your homepage. They should be presented in a short yet descriptive and lighthearted manner.<\/p>\n Your contact details including your email address should appear not just on the homepage but should be clearly visible on every page. Make sure to include all the details such as your city, street address, state, zip code and most importantly, your phone number with the area code to give idea to non-local customers how to contact you.\u00a0 If you\u2019re a local service provider located in a particular city, then you will essentially make the most of your online presence by expanding to the adjoining cities in your area. For instance, if you\u2019re serving the Los Angeles, Southern California area, you may want to include San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino and the rest of the neighboring counties. Then you will put something in your homepage that tells like \u201cLocated in LA, we also serve the neighboring communities of San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino etc…\u201d<\/p>\n Also, should you decide on utilizing the social media, a link to your updated social profile would be helpful for people to follow you on those sites.<\/p>\n It is important to understand that once you\u2019ve done all these things, immediate results can\u2019t just happen, you need to wait a few weeks to a couple of months for Google and other search engines to index everything you fed to them. Given that there is a growing competition online, you may need to put in more effort for link development. \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you\u2019re a local provider of services like house painting, grass cutting, plumbing or maybe a small business establishment such as a daycare center, the following information is intended for you.
