Editor's Notes
- - Over 40 years of marketing experience. We help are clients develop long-term marketing strategies. - Depending on a single website to market your business online is not a solid strategy!
- Google Maps is the Yellow Pages for the new millenium There is one other big difference - Single Search Page with Broad World Wide Exposure
- How many of you have agencies who have a goal of ranking on the first page of Google, or of ranking #1 in their area for an insurance-related search? There are three ways an agency can appear on a Google search results page. I find that most agencies are only aware of two. BIG OPPORTUNITY HERE! To appear in the paid search section of Google, you pay per click for ads in an Auction via Google AdWords. Here insurance agents need to compete with national carriers, direct players, and aggregators with deeper pockets and greater economies of scale. “Auto insurance” is one of the most competitive bidding terms on Google – regularly in the top 10 most expensive terms. To appear in the organic search section of Google results, you need to have a web site URL or have a presence on a third-party web site URL (ie, YellowPages.com, Citysearchcom, Yelp.com). Organic ranking is extremely competitive in the auto insurance vertical, and even if you hire a pricey SEO firm or pay to build and maintain a top-flight web site, it can be difficult to crack the top 5-10 rankings of organic search. To appear in the Local search (aka “Maps” or “local listings”) section of Google results, you need to fill out a form online. Ranking is considerably less competitive than organic search because to date less than 20% of businesses have filled out that form with Google, and because national companies that don’t have a local presence can’t participate or compete in local search – no Insurance.com, GEICO, no Esurance, no lead aggregators. So, local search or local listings refer to the “maps” section of the search engine results page – Google is shown here. We hear many agencies state their ambitious goal as being “#1 in Google” for given search terms – they are referring to organic search. Local search presents a way to rank above the #1-organically ranked Google web site, at no dollar cost, and without even having an agency web site or hiring a company to do SEO for your agency. Agencies can do this themselves, and that’s what we’ll be talking about today.
- comScore estimated that in July 2010 there were 10.263 billion searches a month on Google (15.589 billion on all major search engines) Google noted in December 2009 that 20% of searches are local in nature Thus there are over 2 billion local searches per month in the US alone, on Google alone.
- According to the Yellow Pages Association, there were just under 1 billion print yellow page references made each month by US adults in 2009. (37% of adults say they use PYP in an avg week* 2.7 references per week * 4 weeks * 230 million).
- First off – why are we focusing on Google? Important to claim a listing at all the major search engines, but Google currently has an over 70% share of search engine traffic, so they are the place to start and the most important.
- Ask audience, how many of you regularly conduct internet searches on a mobile device? The desktop is no longer the only place your online listings are shown! On mobile devices, Google searches use GPS by default to present search results that are local to the user. Local results are essentially ever-present for mobile search!
- Local mobile search is taking off with the growth of the use of the smartphone (eg, iPhone) – more than 50% per year
