Tip #7Include Keywords in Your Website Page Titles  Every page of your website can be indexed by the search engines  Include some of the popular keyword terms that local consumers type into the search engines when looking for your type of product or service

Tip #8 Make Sure You Use the Right Keywords  Don’t “guess” which keywords you should focus on in your local SEO efforts  Use a keyword tool to help you see exactly which keywords are being searched for the most and build around those terms

Tip #9Use Your Location in the Optimization Process  If you want to attract “local” consumers, you should include geographic terms in your optimization, such as your city and state  This tells the search engines exactly where you are located and helps to draw in local, targeted traffic

Tip #10 Keep Branding Tight  Use the exact same name for all of your online properties in order to get a strong, solid online brand  Even if you operate under different businesses names, choose one and focus on that for the best results
