The Perfect Local Directory Listing

The Local Directory Listing is a 100% balanced Landing Page for your Google Listing, with a Map, directions, phone, address, and rich, detailed description of your services; everything a human or search engine wants to see on a web page. This new web page can even act as your website if you don't have one, and will populate in the top of Google under the maps organically within a couple of weeks for your keywords and area.

Your listing also includes a link to your website, pulling it into our 'network' of thousands of web pages. This helps to increase your web site's SEO, and is how many of our clients are in three places at the top 10 of Google. This is a unique SEO system, designed to be as affordable as it is powerful.

Google Optimization is a complicated set of variables that is referred to as the Google Algorithm. While no one knows all the variables, some of them are public knowledge, others are in the Google Webmasters Tools online. Much of what we do is the worst kept secret on the Internet.

There is one rule that stands out above all others; content is king. This rule is paramount, and is the foundation for all online search. Proper use of these keywords is crucial to your ranking, among other factors. For Web Page SEO, the right combination and layout of keywords counts for up to 50% of your PageRank; but for your Google Local Listing, keywords count for more than 80% of your rank.

The other factors that bring your local listing to the top is placement in other directories and systems like Super Pages, Yahoo and other location-based websites. Knowing these factors and years of experience gives us the edge you need to get to the top of Google.

Most existing businesses already have a Google Local Listing they don't even know about. If we find your business in the Google index, we can optimize it and get it into the top rankings usually within an hour of completion, as long as you provide us with accurate information.

For new businesses, we will create a new listing in Google and submit your business to SuperPages, 411, GPS.com and other critical sites for Google to confirm your location. This process can take up to 30 days. During that time, our team submits your Local Directory™ Listing to thousands of Search Engines and Directories to re-enforce your listing's position.

If your business listing is not in the top of the Maps or the organic top ten, you don't pay!

What other SEO company guarantees that?

The longer your listing is online, the higher it gets!

We have been performing SEO services for our clients for over 10 years, and our experience has been the longer your listing is online, the higher ranked it gets. This is due to another part of the Google algorithm, longevity. Google rewards businesses with accurate information that have been in their index longer by ranking them higher over time.

If you have more than one location, we can add all of them to the Local Directory and Google Maps. Each location must be a commercial address and have a different phone number to avoid "merging" of the listings in Google. For multiple listing pricing, see here.

Your locations can be in different neighborhoods, cities or states; but we cannot guarantee any area outside the continental United States at this time. We can do your location in the UK, Canada, and most of the EU, but Google is still updating their index in these areas so listings may be "spotty".

The short answer is NO!

Our policy is to only help 2 other businesses of the same industry within a 10 mile radius of your location(s). We feel very strongly about this, and have turned away our client's competitors in the past, even when they offered 5 times what our clients paid.

For now, Google does not support PO Boxes or home addresses. This was done due to many spammers taking advantage of the Local Listings when it first came out. But if you are a home based plumber or contractor, people will still need to find you so how can you compete?

For service companies, most searchers aren't concerned about your location; so you have to be on the top of the ORGANIC listings to get calls. Our Local Directory does just that. Even without a Google Local Listing, your home based business can thrive right there with your commercial competitors.

We can help analyze your needs as a home based business and create an SEO plan to suit your needs. Whether you want to sell to the guy next door or around the world, our SEO packages can help you sell there.

We Ask Google!

Market Me Locally has been performing SEO services for over 10 years and knows all the "tricks of the trade" in finding the right keywords for your business. For some, the keywords are obvious; for others, knowing what your customers are really looking for is crucial to Internet Marketing.

Google provides a keyword research tool that reports how many searches were performed for a specific keyword in the last 30 days. Other online tools tell us trends, keyword 'shift' throughout the seasons and other data we take into consideration when selecting your keywords. These keywords are then embedded in appropriate places in your Google and Local Directory™ listings, with the perfect balance. Too many keywords and Google ignores them; too few and your listing is on page 4. Our listings get to the top because they are "just right". We can even filter out the services or products you don't offer, and focus on your best sellers.

Yes! Our unique system not only gives your business top 7 (A-G) of the Google Local Maps, but your Local Directory™ listing is submitted to thousands of search engines, directories and RSS feeds nationwide - so our listings get to the top of Google and others within a few weeks!

If you search for your business keywords and city, you'll probably find a few directory listings from Super Pages, Yahoo and others in the top ten. It's frustrating to be a business owner trapped on page 3 while these websites take over the top 10 rankings. Our Local Directory™ system is designed to be the perfect "Landing Page" for your business, with advanced SEO systems to ensure the engines see exactly what they want for top ranking. You don't even need a website for our system to work for you!

No Website needed? Really?

Yes! The secret is our Local Directory™ system, an invention designed to create the perfect "Landing Page" for any type of business. Landing pages get a bad rap, due to the abuses of the past where web designers would stuff keywords into a certain page and create hundreds or thousands of these illegal pages to capture huge amounts of traffic. Google banned these sites from there index years ago, and has built filters into their algorithm to "weed out" these pages.

But Directories are different; they can have thousands of different types of business, each with different keywords, industries, & categories and are not only legal, but desired due to their inherent accuracy. Market Me Locally simply built a better Directory System and followed all the rules dictated by Google from the ground up. Then added some specialized programming to automate most of the SEO for each listing. The result? All of our listings get into the Top 10 for city + keywords.

Right now, the Google Local Directory covers the Continental United States and much of Canada. We can help any business in these areas, as well as overseas in the UK, France, Germany and most of the EU.

We have numerous Local Directory™ systems currently in many US cities, but even if you're in city without a Local Directory™, our experts can create a new Directory for your area within a single day! There is really no limit to the number of businesses we can help.

Yellow Page advertising is still essential for your local business - but is that half-page ad on page 497 really bringing in the customers like it once did? Our clients are able to substantially reduce the amount of money they pay out to the yellow book, SuperPages and Google Adwords. but by no means should you cut them out altogether.
