Local SEO
SEO (Search engine optimization) refers to making sure your website stands out in Google searches. Local SEO is the art and science of getting your business found locally – in your marketing area. A fully, locally optimized site should show not just on the first page of search results for your important keywords (search terms); but ideally in Google’s local “map pack”.
There are a lot of individual services (see below) and E-Marketing Solutions can help handle all these details so you can focus on running your business, and enjoying the growth of that business.
