Local internet marketing tips?
Since the housing bust and because most people were living beyond their means, moneys tight and it has changed the way they spend it. Because they are worried whether they’ll still have a job next week, if you haven’t lost it yet, people only seem to be spending money on necessities’. Because of this uncertainty and lack of spending, small local businesses are starting to disappear. What they need is to improve their local internet marketing to keep the doors open. Sure, if you’re a large company, you will be able to make it through times like this. But the heart of business, the small local businesses are finding it harder to keep the doors open. They just don’t have the resources to keep going without new business or losing some of the existing business they have.
So they must find a way to get the phone ringing. They advertise now but they are already spending as much as they can and it seems in the last few years the old local marketing methods are not working as well as they once did but the cost have gone up. Their ad in the phone book that use to be a ¼ page is now a small listing mainly because it was costing thousands of dollars a year and it hasn’t been cost effective. So they downsized their ad to save some of the marketing costs but this actually has an adverse effect and is making it even harder to get new business. Why? Because people using the phone book to find local businesses has dramatically decreased and this has effected both advertisers and potential customers.
First, for the advertisers, the cost has steadily increased so it’s become too expensive to pay for those big ads anymore. Smaller ads mean less visibility, less visibility means fewer people seeing your business, fewer people seeing your business means fewer potential new customers. Second, the internet has taken over local marketing. Every month thousands and thousands of people are getting online. In seconds anyone can search for whatever they are looking for even local businesses. And not just from a home computer. Many people have laptops that can be used at more and more places every month. Now you can stop at a café, be at a hotel or even at a fast food joint and have wireless access to the internet. Not to mention internet on your phone or other devices like I Pads.
And with local internet marketing services like Google “places” , “Google “maps” and Yahoo “local” , your business can be found 24/7, 7 days a week. There’s no more drudging through the phone book to find local businesses the might not even be in business any more. Why, because you pay for a whole year for an ad in the phone book and your information can not be changed. Let’s say you had to downsize and relocate your business to another address. Now no one will be able to find you because only your old info will be in the phone book. All you can do is spend more money you don’t have to place another ad. If you advertise on the internet any changes can be made and be seen in a few minutes so your information will always be up to date.
The phone books themselves know this that’s why they’ve decided to take their business online. As time goes on print copies of the phone book will be used less and less. This also applies the other forms of local marketing you might use. Newspapers? They have become even less effective than the phone book. Sales have been so bad they are almost giving the newspaper away. Every week I get a call from a local newspaper about their new lower price special 4 day, a week offer. Even the large ones are on the verge of going out of business. If they can afford it, they are going online because no one is buying the printed copy anymore. Now they’ll have their own “application” so everyone can read their favorite newspaper online
Local monthly papers and coupon books? Local monthly papers are extremely expensive and also on the decline. Coupon books are cheaper but your ad is stuffed in with maybe hundreds of other ads, randomly. (Not to effective) But the worst part is that they only distribute it once a month! That’s only 12 times a year; your ad will be in front of someone. Definitely, not the most effective local marketing you could pay for. Just ask yourself a question? Whens the last time you looked through a monthly paper or coupon book for a local business?
So the real local marketing answer for any business, no matter big or small is to have a presence in the local listing of the major search engines. Google and Yahoo are the most used search engines and Bing, is getting pretty popular too. Having your business listed on the first page of their local listings is without a doubt the most effective local marketing any business can do. The problem is, in order to take advantage of local internet marketing you must be listed on the first page.
Being listed on page 2 or higher could be the difference between getting the presence you need or just being another ad online. If you’re like me, when I search the internet, if I don’t find it on the first page, I usually change my search and search again. I rarely go to page 2 or higher. Just ask any business who has a first page listing now how dramatic the increase in the number of visitors they get to their web site is compared to being listed on page 2 or higher.
I know many businesses that went from averaging 25 to 100 clicks a month in local searches, to thousands of clicks a month just because they moved from another page to page 1! OK, The big question? How Do I get my business there? Well, there are many local SEO companies out there and most of the promise you first page listings in the major search engine. They usually try to include it in a big package of blogging, backlinks, and SEO for your web site in order to get your site to the first page in the top 10 listings. This can cost anywhere from $300 a month and up.
This is all good but this can be pretty costly and not necessary. Why? Well because for a “worldwide business” (one that sells a product or service worldwide or across the country) getting a first page, top 10 (generic) listing is needed to get business. Just like local internet marketing, most people chose a business or company from the first page. The difference is, if you do not ship a product, or provide a service “worldwide” you’re wasting your time and money for advertising. If you’re a local business, you only really need “local” marketing. What good does it do your business being listed on the first page of Google, if you’re a local “dry cleaner”, or “auto repair “business? Are you going to clean someone’s clothes, that live 3 states away from your business? NO, probably not.
Your biggest concern should be “local internet marketing”, so don’t worry about having your web site on the first page, just your listing. So if you decide to use a company to do your local marketing, ask them to provide just that. A good local internet marketing service should only run you a third or less of what they want for a “worldwide package”. You should be able to get top results in the local results for $100 or less a month. Much better, right?
But how do I choose a company to do my local internet marketing? Well, if you can find a marketing company that provides the things in the list below, then you will have your best chance at getting a top first page listing that can produce customers and not getting ripped off!
1. You should never spend more than $100 a month for local marketing. If they tell you that you need the $300 package to have first place local listings, their lying.
2. Make them give you examples of several clients who have first page local listing right now. Not old outdated or “once they were” there listings. The easiest way is to take their exmples and go to Goggle and search it. If you don’t see what they promise, don’t waste your time and money.
3. They should offer you a month by month contract. If they can really produce what they say they can then they should not want to “lock” you in to a year or longer contract. If they don’t offer a month by month contract, go somewhere else. Why should you have to pay for something that doesn’t work or you’re not happy with?
4. Make your input count! Don’t be told that “this is the best way to market your business” or what “search terms” are best for your business. They should be able to show what’s being searched on the internet for your business so you can decide which “search terms” you want to target. For example, if you’re a plumber in Palm Beach, then you should be listed for a “plumber in palm beach” not “plumbing repairs palm beach”. The search terms make all the difference! When I searched to see what was searched last month in Google “plumber in palm beach” had 1,900 local searches and “plumbing repairs palm beach” had 0! Which one would you target? If they can’t show you results about what terms to choose, and then go somewhere else!
If you follow these tips, you will be able to find local SEO companies that can help your business get the local web presence your business really needs!
Don’t be misled by SEO companies making promises they don’t keep, like this one I found online! February 20, 2011

Don’t be misled by SEO companies making promises they don’t keep, like this one I found online!
They claimed:
“We will put your business on the first page of the search engines for 10 “keywords” or “search terms” !
So I ask them for some proof? Just show me 1 business that’s on the first page of Google, right now, for 10 “search terms”!
And you know what? They couldn’t show me one! Not one!
I mean let’s be serious. To think that any business could be listed on the first page of Google and Yahoo
for 10 “search terms” is ridiculous, right?
Unless they could prove it to me by showing me proof, right now! If they tell me they have a client who has 10 first page
listings, I want to go on Google right now and see every listing! Then maybe I’ll consider letting them do my marketing!
What if I told you I usually have 3 to 4 listings on the first page of Google for “google local internet advertising” out of 82,000,000 listings, do you think I could get your business listed on the first page?
GOOGLE<<<< click here and then and copy and paste “google local internet advertising” and see!
local-internet-advertising-marketing.net/ or no-competition.biz/ or local-internet-advertising-marketing.com/
These are 3 of my sites!
See if you can get any other SEO company to show you proof like this! Good luck with that!
That’s fair, right? OK, here you go! One of our clients is “Lombardo Custom Apparel” in Dallas.
Their main service is “mens and ladies tailored and custom suits”.
Here are their search terms for Dallas!
mens tailored suits dallas
tailored suits dallas
tailored shirts dallas
mens custom suits dallas
custom suits dallas
mens suits dallas
mens custom apparel dallas
ladies custom apparel dallas
ladies tailored suits dallas
ladies custom suits dallas
ladies suits dallas
Just “copy” any search term, Click>>>GOOGLE and “paste” to see real time results!
(anything with “Lombardo” in the url (lombardo-custom-shirts-tailored-suits-mens-apparel-dress-shoes.com/)
or in the title (Lombardo Custom Tailored Suits) is theirs! When you search each “search term” scroll down the
page to see how many listings “Lombardo” has on the first page!
See if you can get any other SEO company to show you proof like this! Good luck with that!
They’ll show you a fancy web site full of promises but no proof!
And of course if you turn most of these search term around like “custom suits dallas” to “dallas custom suits”,
they still have first page listings! That’s even more! >>>>>>>>>>>SEE ALL<<<<<<<< their listings NOW!
OK, Are you ready to see how a business really dominates the local internet? Here’s are screen shots of all the listings they have right now!
“mens tailored suits dallas”, “tailored suits dallas”, “tailored shirts dallas”, “mens custom suits dallas”, “custom suits dallas”, mens suits dallas”,
“mens custom apparel dallas”, “ladies custom apparel dallas”, “ladies tailored suits dallas”, “ladies custom suits dallas”, “ladies suits dallas”
They are the ONLY “local listing” and they have #1, #2, #3 and #4 in the top 10! Do you think they dominate Google for this search term?
Oh yeah I forgot, there’s 1 little thing. You knew there was a catch, right? Well, here’s the catch.
They have had these listings for 2 YEARS NOW and this will work for ANY business in ANY city!
*They also have “Top listings in EVERY surrounding city”! Like, “tailored suits garland”, tailored suits mesquite, tailored suits irving”,
“tailored suits richardson”, “tailored suits carrollton”! That’s just for “tailored suits”! They also have top listings for all the
other “search terms” like “custom suits mesquite”. That’s 55 more listings! ( Local internet marketing)<<<<<<< to see surrounding cities!
*They also have just as many listings in Yahoo! (Local Internet marketing) <<<<<<< to see Yahoo listings)
Still don’t believe? Click on “real examples” at the top to see more businesses!

When doing local internet marketing, search engines like Google index the “top 10″ generic listings
in a worldwide search, the local “top 10″ and a “local businesses” listings the same way. If you know
how to get a top 10 worldwide generic listing, you can get a top 10 local and “local business” listings
but more important is keeping the listings at the top. Below is proof we know how to get them listed
and keep them listed. @ years ago, looking for a way to make money online, I joined a new
local internet marketing business opportunity. It was a brand new company, with a brand new product.
They just hired an “internet guru” to run the local internet marketing part of their business.
The guru told me I should join his group and he will teach us how to advertise this product online.
He told me in 2 years the company will be #1, his web site will be #2 and his group will be #3
on the first page of Google, Yahoo and MSN and they will control the local internet marketing
for this new product. So I joined his group and also told him I was also going to build my own
web site to advertise this product and use it for my local internet marketing. He told me, “that’s
great but don’t feel bad when your web site doesn’t make it to the first page in Google, Yahoo or MSN.
I have been an internet marketer for over 15 years, your new at this and It’s not easy to get the top listings”. Oh Really!
Now here we are 2 years later and I haven’t had to advertise anything for over 12 months. In Google, the
company is #1 and I am #2 and have been for the last 16 months! Search engine listings change daily
and some days I am # 1 & 2 or #2 & 3 but I’m always #2. I haven’t had to advertise my websites for over
12 months and I still have the same ranking. The guru just made it to # 6 and his group just made it to
the second page and is #20. The fact is the guru has had one employee, working 5 days a week for the
last 24 months, doing everything he’s told in order to advertise his web site to try to get it to # 2 and
I haven’t touched my webs site for 12 months. The fact is the company has 3 listings on the first page
and I have 2 to 4 listings on the first page. That only leaves 3 or 4 spots left on the first page of Google.
Since this product is a moringa based supplement called “Poga Moonga”, I wanted to get listed for
”moringa supplements”. Here are my local internet marketing listings in Google <click here) for
“moringa supplements”, there are about 51,000 listings. I have 3 in the top 6 (moringasupplements.com,
and pogamoongajuice.com – that’s 2 different web sites selling the same product in the top 10 and a
tradekey listing), Here are my internet advertising listings for “Moringa supplements” in Yahoo <click here)
there are about 600,000 listings. I have 2 in the top 5 (pogamoongajuice.com and pogaworld.com – again,
2 different web sites, selling the same product in the top 10) and my internet marketing listings for
“Moringa supplements” in MSN <click here) that has about 29,000 listings – I have 5 on the first page
(moringasupplements.com, moringa-oleifera.com, pogamoongajuice.com and pogaworld.com and
florida-vitamins.com) here I have 4 different web sites selling the same product in the top 10!
What competition?. You’re probably saying to yourself, “that’s not bad but what about if someone
searched for the product”? For the product itself, well these are my local internet marketing listings in
Google <click here) (about 2,900 listings – I have 3 or 4 on the first page (pogamoongajuice.com.,
pogamoongajuice.com/poga.htm , trade key or blog spot, and merchant circle) – the company
has 3 listings. That’s 6 out of 10 (60%) taken! these are my local internet marketing listings in Yahoo
<click here) (about 2,800 listings – I have 4 on the first page), pogamoongajuice.com,
pogamoongajuice.com/aloe.htm, pogaworld.com, pogamoonga.biz and sometimes
http://no-competition.biz, that’s 3 different web sites in the top 10! – the company has 3
listings. That’s 7 out of 10 (70%) taken! Here are my local internet marketing listings in MSN
<click here) ( about 2,600 listings)- I have 3 or 4 on the first page (pogamoongajuice.com ,
pogamoonga juice blogspot, pogamoongajuice.com/order.htm, pogaworld.com and nutritional tree)
- the company has 2 listings. That’s 5 out of 10 (50%) taken! Not only do I have top 10 listings
for both “moringa supplements” and “Poga Moonga”, which have been at the top for more than
a year, I have up to 3 different web sites, selling the same product, listed in the top 10 and they’re
all listed above the “so-called” guru!
I have 3 main web sites, Poga Moonga Juice.com , Poga World.com and Poga Moonga . biz, Florida -vitamins.com,moringasupplements.com, moringa-oleifera.com, and anything with pogamoongajuice in it. Just click on Poga Moonga .biz and you’ll see ll the listings I have for “Poga Moonga”. The point is, I own the internet for this product in a worldwide search out of hundreds of thousands of listings and I’m doing it without overpriced fancy web sites or video! I do not advertise my web sites or anything relatred to my web sites. The guru will NEVER make it to #2 and his group will NEVER make it to the first page, in Google, Yahoo or MSN! I’m so relevant for this product, the company is using my domain name “poga moonga juice” to advertise and boost their local internet marketing! In Yahoo I have 4 of the top 10, I have 3 listing and he’s #9! That’s pretty good right? Who’s the guru now? But that’s nothing compared to what we can do for your website marketing in your local internet marketing!
