Hey my name is Cathy Reisenwitz and I am a Birmingham-based internet marketing professional and I'd like to give Birmingham business owners some SEO tips. So the first one is when you're doing your keyword research, deciding which keywords you want to target with your site you might want to try if you're not seeing any traffic for keywords with the geographical modifier you might wanna try taking the geographical modifier out when you're using for example the Google keyword research tool and just use your business words.
So for example if you're a Birmingham sports store then you might want to try sports store versus sporting goods store and see which one of those get more traffic and then use your geographical modifier on the keyword that you choose.
The second tip is you want to be sure that you are getting links in your link building efforts from local sites.
So, for birmingham if you can get for example, links from for example the Birmingham chamber of commerce trade or even the Vestavia chamber of commerce if you're in Vestavia from other local businesses in Birmingham and even from sites that are about Birmingham. All of those links are going to be useful to you in addition to the links that are relevant to your business. So links from sports site if you're a sporting goods store. And links that are high authority so you're going to want to add those local links to your mix.
And then the third tip is to be sure that you claim your Google local business listing. This is especially important if the keywords that you're going after Google is returning the 7 pack, the results with the map if that's the case then you want to be part of those, then you need to claim your listing and then research how to rank highly in those local
results.
