Localize and Mobilize Your Site
         Presented by:
        Scott Hendison

        SEO Automatic
   Search Commander, Inc.
About Me
• Began selling software online in 1999, began a
  small agency in the spring of 2004, and
  launched our own tools in 2009.
• In 2007, I attended SES Local in LA and was
  amazed at the total lack of information.
• Today, local is probably the fastest growing
  segment of SEO, and it‘s an honor to be
  included on this Pubcon panel.
How much Mobile Traffic do you get?
 You might be surprised...

 • When is the last time you looked?
 • Some businesses have over 1/3 of all traffic
   coming to their site via tablet or mobile.
 • You are not maximizing your revenue, but
   that’s okay, because neither are your
   competitors.
Look at your Analytics
Stats over past 30 days
What‘s your first step?
Examine your site!
• Test it on an iPhone and Android
• How does it look?
• Is it functional?
• Can you read and navigate it?
• Does it have what you need?
• What DO you need?
What DO you need?
•   Simple pinch & zoom?
•   Click to call?
•   Map?
•   A relevant menu?
•   Appointment setting?
•   Quote system?
•   Ordering, Shopping, etc
•   What Else?
            JUST TRY YOUR WEBSITE!
Let‘s say you‘ve decided...
How can you achieve what you want?
• Lots of low cost options
• Lots of very expensive options
• Separate website & mobile experience?
• WP Sites can be mobilized easily w/ plugins
  like wptouch, etc.
• Do you actually need an “app“?
• There are a billion options
               well actually...
A billion and a half options
• Wrap up slide(s)
Good Place to Start
Find a Developer
Choose your Budget
Plenty of Options
How do you choose?
Ask these questions:
•   CAN you ask questions via chat or phone?
•   Self configured? On site or subdomain?
•   Auto sync w/ your site?
•   Automatic detection and redirection?
•   Tracked with YOUR Google Analytics?
•   Separate (multiple) mobile menu options?
•   MUST a user “install” something? (app)
You can‘t afford to wait

Once people perform a mobile search…


• 61% of users call the business after
  searching
• 87% of those WILL buy from you if they call

                         - Google, BIA/Kelsey
Thank You
