id="more-5459"></span></p><p>For some time now<strong> Google</strong> have known that people have changed the way that they look for services in their local areas, and now they search for things on the Internet, rather than looking in the local newspapers for them, and this can be proved by the noticeable drop in newspaper and Yellow pages advertising.</p><p>Most <em>small local</em> <em>business </em>owners are not very knowledgeable about how the Internet can<strong> help </strong>their<strong> small local business</strong>, and therefore they tend to shy away from it, but the truth is that unless they are prepared for this golden opportunity that is being presented to them, on a plate by Google and the other search engines, the chances are that <em>their small business</em> will not grow, and could indeed fail.</p><p>Because of this <strong>Google</strong> have changed the way that it gives the people that are searching for services, search results that are showing <strong>local results</strong> first, giving <em>small local businesses</em> an advantage over their competitors.</p><p>In recent years there has also been a sharp increase in the number <strong>local business</strong> <strong>directories</strong>, and most of them allow small businesses to <em>list their business</em> for free, of course some will also try to sell you a premium position, but this is not necessary.</p><p>Read how<a

Finding out what people type in to the search engines search bar, to find what they are looking for is one of the most important first thing to do, when you are writing a new article for <em>your website</em>.</p><p>After all the more people that see your article the better chance you have to sell your products or services, so therefore you need to increase your chances by increasing the amount of <strong>search results</strong> that your <em>article will be shown on</em>.</p><p>The easiest way to go about this is to use the free <strong>Google keyword tool</strong>, and type in the name or your product or services then click search, you will then be presented with several   search terms that people are typing into the <em>search bar</em> to find what they are looking for.</p><p>This will have to be repeated several times until you have quite a few <strong>search terms </strong>that you can use for <em>your article title</em>, so it will take some time and effort, but you will be well rewarded if you do this correctly.</p><p>Once you have found suitable <strong>search terms</strong> that match your product or service, you will need to test them out to see what your competition is, and to see if people are spending money on these terms in their <em>Google AdWords</em> campaigns, so look at how many sponsored ads there are on the page to get an idea of this.</p><p>Take a closer look at your competitors to find out if you have a chance of competing with them for this term, and check their <strong>page ranks</strong> if they are all <em>high ranking</em> you could be wasting your time on this term, but if there are several with a <strong>page rank</strong> of 0 you could have a good chance of getting on this page.</p><p>When you are sure that you can compete for these <em>phrases and words</em>, it would be good idea to think of some possible titles composed using the ideas that you have, get together as many titles as possible, but don’t write your article yet as you will need to find out which title will give you the <strong>best results</strong>.</p><p>Take your titles one at a time and type them into the search <strong>Google´s search bar </strong>and click search, to see what comes up, then have a look just under the search bar to see how many results <em>Google</em> has.</p><p>Do this with all the titles, that way you will be able to find which one has the <strong>highest results</strong>, and use this one for your website, now you will have to write an article based on the title that you have chosen, this will be your <em>main article</em>.</p><p>Do the same with your other titles making sure that then <strong>new article</strong> is totally different than the first one, again pick the next <em>highest ranking</em> article and submit it to a <strong>high ranking</strong> <em>article directory</em>, you must make sure that all of your articles are original, or they may be rejected.</p><p>I think that by now you will be getting the idea of how to do this, and you will be able to see that if you follow these instructions you will know how to use <strong>S.E.O. </strong>to get your business on <em>Google´s first page.</em></p><h4 id="watch-headline-title">How to Know that your New Article will Rank well Even Before you Write it</h4><p><object

href="http://firstpageof-google.com" target="_blank">FirstPageOf-Google.com</a></strong></p><p>One of the most exciting things to happen for <strong>local businesses</strong> recently is the introduction <strong>of Google Places</strong> (<em>formally Google Maps</em>), giving the business owner targeted web traffic, and the opportunity to get on the<strong> first page of Google</strong> in their local area.<span
id="more-4014"></span></p><p>This is now helping to level the playing field, giving the<em> local business</em> a good chance of competing with the<strong> large National companies</strong>, and in fact giving the advantage over them, forcing the <em>National companies</em> to lose the tight grip that they have had over <strong>local businesses</strong>.</p><p>How can this help your <strong>local business</strong>, and what is <em>Google Places</em> all about? Well, <strong>Google</strong> have recently discovered that most people using the Internet to find products and services are looking for a<em> local business</em> to provide it for them.</p><p>In their wisdom <em>Google</em> have decided to change the way that the search results are being presented to the searcher, by favouring the <strong>local business</strong> and presenting <em>local results first</em>, in fact some <strong>National results</strong> are not showing up at all, in <strong>local searches</strong>.</p><p>The results of the searches are shown with a description of the services offered, and a map that shows where the<strong> local business</strong> is located.</p><p>This does not happen automatically though, the <strong>local business</strong> owner needs to list their business in Google places, and for the best result the listing should be well optimized, to get onto the <strong>first page of Google</strong>, in their<em> local area</em>.</p><p>A lot of <strong>local businesses</strong> are slow to do this, mainly because it is a little complicated, but also because a lot of them are not fully aware of this exciting opportunity.</p><p>To get a good listing it is advisable to act fast, as there are only a number of places on the first page of Google, and they are filling up fast, which will make it a lot more difficult for those that are slow to act.</p><p><strong>SEO (Search Engine Optimization) For Targeted Web Traffic.</strong></p><p>If you have a business that has<em> several categories</em>, such as a widow company, you could have several listings by, listing each <em>category separately</em>; you could have a listing for windows, one for doors and one for conservatories, this way the customer that wants new windows, will see that you are a specialist in windows, and the same goes for the other categories too.</p><p>This would mean that your visitors would be <strong>targeted web traffic</strong>, and therefore more likely to ask you for a price, giving you more chances of making more sales, and earning more money for your<strong> local business</strong>.</p><p>As more and more people are now <strong>searching online instead of offline</strong> (Yellow Pages and local Newspapers), it would be a good idea to have a <strong>local website</strong>, as a lot of people like to see what the <em>local business</em> has to offer before they visit or telephone them.</p><p>This would strengthen the above strategy even more, as you would have a <strong>link to your website</strong> from your listings, to the <em>appropriate category</em> page of your website for your prospect to visit, creating even more credibility for your<strong> local business</strong>.</p><p>Are you beginning to see how this would work, and the power behind it? You see most <strong>local businesses</strong> are not very familiar with the Internet and they don´t know how it works, so they would be unlikely to be able to do this for themselves, and some of them would be reluctant to <em>hire an expert</em> to do it for them, because of the costs involved.</p><p>This does require a lot of work and time spent doing it, but it is worth the effort, or the costs involved in<strong> hiring someone</strong>, as the results would mean that you could well dominate the market for your product or service in your <strong>local area</strong>.</p><p>I do hope that by now you can see how <strong>targeted web traffic</strong> can help your <em>local business</em> to get onto the <strong>first page of Google</strong> places in your local area.</p><p>If you have enjoyed reading this article, and have found it to be of use to you, please feel free to share it with others.</p><p><strong>To Find Out how<a

id="more-4007"></span></p><p>Recently <strong>Google</strong> changed their algorithms in the way that they present search results to the searcher, and it now presents the results on a <em>local basis</em>, presenting <strong>local businesses</strong> first, even if the searcher does not specify an area, Google can tell where the searcher is based, by the I.P.address of the computer used for the search.</p><p>This also works if the search was made on a smart phone, using a system similar to GPS satellite navigation, so if your car breaks down almost any ware in the world, you search on your smart phone for a garage to repair it, and you will get the results for the nearest garages.</p><p>The reason that these changes have been made is that<em> Goggle</em> found that 70% of all searches online are looking for a <em>local service</em>, also that people would prefer to buy from <strong>local businesses</strong>.</p><p>But not only that, traditional advertising Yellow Pages, Newspapers, and to some extent T.V. adverts are not working anymore like they used to, as more and more people search on the Internet. It is a fact now that people are spending more time in front of a computer screen than in front of a T.V. set.</p><p>These results show up with a balloon on a map showing where the business is based, and also listing the services offered, this only works though if the <strong>local business</strong> has requested the listing, and it also only works with organic results, not the paid for ads, this is now called <strong>Google Places</strong> (<em>formally Google Maps</em>).</p><p>Luckily for you, many <strong>local businesses</strong> are slow to do this, mainly because they do not know about it yet, but also because it is a complicated process, and a lot of them are not prepared to pay for an expert to do it for them.</p><p>What does this mean for your <em>local or National business</em>? Well if your business has various locations and you have your own website, it is unlikely that your website will show up in the <strong>local searches</strong>.</p><p>I know this as I have checked quite a few <em>National Companies websites</em> in the <em>local searches</em>, and unless the searcher actually puts the website address into the search bar, they definitely don´t show up, but this is not how people search for things.</p><p>The way people usually search is by putting a phrase into the search bar such as “UPVC window companies “or “fitted kitchen companies” or they may just put in “UPVC windows” or “Plumbers” and it´s finding out what they put in, as that’s where the money is, you just have to find out by doing some research into it.</p><p>If you do nothing about this information, can you imagine what could happen to your <strong>local </strong>or<strong> national business</strong>? If only <em>local searches</em> are showing up on the results, and your company is not listed?</p><p>This is not going to go away, already 70% of people are looking for services and products online, and it´s getting bigger every day that passes by.</p><p>What can be done about it? I believe that this is one of the most <em>exciting changes</em> that <strong>Google </strong>have made for a long time, giving you the opportunity to take advantage of this new change, by listing all of your <em>local businesses</em> around the country.</p><p>Can you imagine the effect that that would have over your competitors? Not only that, but what would it do for your <strong>local businesses</strong> with the extra sales that you make, and what would it do for your profits?</p><p>All that is needed to make these listings is an address that can be written to, a telephone that can be phoned, and a salesperson that can make a visit to the enquirer and this should suffice, so you don´t even need a showroom, if you have someone willing to use their address working for you.</p><p>These listings need to be targeted though, what do I mean by that? I would suggest that you have a separate listing for each product category that can be linked to your new <em>local website</em>, which will be part of this strategy.</p><p>People like to visit a <strong>local website</strong> to see what the company has on offer, before they ask for a visit from a salesman, or before they visit the company themselves, not only that with local testimonials and information on it, giving you more credibility, you will also get another bite of the cherry and another listing for it.</p><p>So if they are interested in a new Conservatory, and they are taken to that page on your site they can see that you are a specialist in Conservatories, again giving you even more credibility, and likewise for your other categories.</p><p>I hope that you can see how powerful this strategy is, and how it could get you <em>more customers</em>, <em>more sales and more profits</em> for your company.</p><p>These websites and listings need to be properly <strong>optimized </strong>though to take full advantage of this opportunity, and to make sure that they show up as one of the first results in the searches.</p><p>This is not an easy task as I well know, and unfortunately most website designers know very little about SEO (<em>search engine optimisation</em>) and as a result many websites fair badly in the search results.</p><p>This work can be done for you, and there are several companies that have recently been set up to do it, but you will need to know that they know how to do it properly, because there is a lot of work involved and mistakes can easily be made, and they can be costly.</p><p>I do hope that this article has been of some value to you, and that you can see that although these changes were made for the benefit of <strong>local businesses</strong>, that these strategies can also be of benefit for <em>National Companies</em> as well.</p><p><strong>Find Out How </strong><strong><a

id="more-3555"></span></p><p><strong>How does this work</strong>, by writing <strong>original articles</strong> about your particular <em>local trade or profession</em>, and then submitting them to the top article directories,<strong> helps your business</strong> in several ways.</p><p><strong>Firstly</strong> <em>The top article directories</em> are very<strong> highly ranked</strong> by the <em>search engines</em>, and by writing good<strong> quality content</strong>, that is not copied in any way, will get <em>published in the directories</em> and give you a <strong>quality link</strong> back to your <strong>website or blog</strong>, this is called a <strong>backlink</strong>.</p><p><strong>What is a backlink?</strong> Well a <em>backlink</em> is a sort of vote for your<strong> website or blog</strong>, <em>search engines</em> are a little bit like teenagers, who like to follow the most<em> popular person</em> in their school of youth-club, this makes the person that they follow even more popular.</p><p><em>The search engine</em> work in a similar way, but not all <strong>backlinks</strong> are equal, they have to be relevant to <em>your website or blog,</em> are you beginning to see what I mean? Can you see why it is important to write<strong> good quality articles</strong>?</p><p><em>As article directories</em> are very <strong>highly ranked</strong> some of that<em> ranking</em> will rub off to benefit your <em>own rankings</em>, and your site will gradually move up until it will eventually get you to the <strong>first page of Google.</strong></p><p>There is no easy way to do this way, some people are using article spinners (which is a software tool that can turn one article into 100 different articles), but the <em>articles</em> that a spinner turns out are not good, as they almost unreadable, and the <em>search engines</em> have got wise to this, and are now<strong> penalising websites </strong>that are using these tricks.</p><p>The only way to do this job properly is to do it manually, that way you can make the <em>article informative and interesting </em>for the reader of it; the article should not be like a sales letter, as it won’t get published.</p><p>It is a time consuming task, but the better the <strong>article</strong> is the more chance it has of being picked up and used on <em>other websites</em>, this is quite legal as long as the republished article is left intact and credited to your site with a link, thus producing more <em>linkbacks</em> to your site.</p><p>There is also a chance that someone reading<strong> your article</strong> may even visit your site, again helping <em>your rankings</em>, and maybe even result in a <em>sale or enquiry</em> for you.</p><p>I hope that you can now see how <strong>article writing</strong> and <em>marketing</em> can help you and your <strong>local business</strong> get onto the <strong>first page of Google</strong> and the other main search engines.</p><p>You can find out more about how to help your site get onto the first page of Google by <a

Lots of high streets all over the western world have empty shops, as lots of <em>businesses </em>have had to close down, due to the economical climate of recent years. This has had the effect of high unemployment and a shortage of money, for everyone that has a physical business.<span
id="more-3533"></span></p><p>Traditional forms of <em>local advertising</em> such as Yellow Pages and local newspaper adverts are not working anymore and they are getting more and more expensive because they have had to increase the prices for <strong>local businesses</strong>, in an attempt to recoup the loss in revenue they have had.</p><p>Times are changing, and <strong>local businesses</strong> are falling behind, as they don´t know what they can do about the current climate. True, some have had their <em>own websites built</em>, only to be disappointed by the results that they have had from them and have wasted a lot of money paying expensive website designers thousands of dollars for flashy websites.</p><p>The truth is that it’s just not good enough to have a website built for it only to disappear into cyber space, as 95% of them do, never getting found by the people who are looking for them. The fact is that 70%+ of people now search online to find the services and products that they are looking for, and these people would prefer to buy from a <strong>local businesses</strong>.</p><p>It´s not all bad news though, <strong>Google</strong> have recognized this and they have done something about it, it´s called <strong>Google places.</strong> So now when you do a search for a service, they do their best to deliver <em>local results</em>. They even show you where that service is located, by showing you a map, with a little flag on it, this happens even if you don´t specify the area, as <strong>Google</strong> knows by the I.P. address of the computer searching for it.</p><p>Some <strong>local businesses</strong> are using this service now, and have <em>seen good results</em> from it. The problem though is that the <em>first pages</em> are already filling up fast, and unless local businesses claim their listings fast, whilst there is still time, the <em>first pages</em> will be gone forever.</p><p>Why is it so important to get the <em>first page listing</em>? Well it´s a fact with any listing, whether it is for a website, or for <strong>Google Places,</strong> that most searchers do not look beyond the <em>first page</em>, some may look on the second page, but barely any look at the third page.</p><p>Which brings me back to talking about websites that are never found by the people that are looking for them, and the reason for this is, that these websites are not using the power of <strong>SEO</strong> (search engine optimization) you see if the <strong>Google bots</strong> (robots that crawl a site to see what it is about) can´t properly understand what the site is about, <strong>Google</strong> will not present it to the searchers. This is the case for around about 95% of sites out there.</p><p>The fact is that <strong>local businesses</strong> now really have to get a <em>website</em> whether they want one or not, not only do they have to get a <em>website</em>, but it also has to have good <em>on page</em> <em>search engine optimization</em>,  to get found, firstly by the <strong>Google bots</strong>, and secondly by the searchers who are looking for it.</p><p>It´s also a fact that a lot of <em>website designers</em> know little or nothing about <strong>SEO</strong>, it´s true that they can give you a pretty <em>website</em>, but what’s the use of that if it can’t be found. Not only do you need a website, but you also need it to be on the <strong>first page of Google</strong> and the <em>other search engines</em>. So what are the choices that you have available to you?</p><p>Well you have the choice of learning how to do this for yourself, (if you can fit this into your busy schedule) but you can expect it to take at quite a lot of time for you to learn how to do it, and it will also give you a lot of headaches, and expect to make some mistakes.</p><p>Or you could save yourself a lot of work, and use a <em>professional company</em> to do it for you, there are several <strong>Internet marketers</strong> out there that are offering their services, and some Internet marketers do have the experience to do this sort of work, but choose carefully.</p><p>What will this do for your <strong>business</strong>? I hear you ask, some people have experienced 70% more business within a few months, what will that do for your <strong>profits</strong>? What if you only get <em>10 new</em> <em>enquiries a week</em>, well it depends what line of business you are in, but if you are a dentist then I suspect that it will do quite a lot for your business. I don’t want to promise the earth, but it could be <strong>10 new enquiries</strong> a day.</p><p>Think of the money you would save by not spending on local newspaper ads, and on Yellow pages who promise you nothing at all.</p><p>I hope that you can now see the benefits of being on the <strong>first page of Google</strong>, and that you now understand the importance of it, and how it will <strong>help your local business</strong>.</p><p><strong>If you would like more buyers, more customers and more profit for your Local Business you can find out <a
