One of my blogs has been number 1 on G UK for the term SEO Ayrshire for a long time now and I can’t say It’s helped to get one client, although it can be used to show potential clients what can be done.

Cool, though the title was meant more as an in house joke then a real attempt at grabbing the #1 spot of course now my ego may have been fired up just enough to push for the #1 spot but I can say it has so far brought a whopping 7 visits to the site!

Its not a brilliant strategy, it can work, but to be honest its not amazing. I prefer spending my time on other strategies. You can’t do everything!

Tim,

Great to see an article on Local Search.

I am on the other side of the pond, and I also offer web design and hosting services on top of SEO, so my situation may differ from the one you have presented.

With that said, I have somewhat focused my SEO efforts to a local market in the last 3 months (I can’t say there was any direct focus prior to that) and I have garnered a wealth of business as a result.

The people who have been responding to my marketing want to sit down and speak with the designer or SEO. I am finding more and more of this as well as the relative ease of selling my products or services in person as opposed to over the phone or in a chat conversation.

So my entire marketing strategy has changed. I am becoming the local solution to internet needs. I will then build outward. Apparently there is a very healthy local market where I do business.

I also like that I can target “xx(city) web design” or “xx(city) seo” without adding a bunch of garbage text to my pages/titles/img alts, etc.

moi of course not, to be fair I’m plummeting down I did have a spell yesterday at #4 and I’m sitting pretty on SEO Nottinghamshire though it was not exactly over competitive. Still not bad for a post with no one linking to it…

This is interesting a lot of people are equating local to small, me included but I guess that is something we all should look at, for example in my local area we have companies like Siemens and Shell not exactly small companies but both recruit and use where possible from local businesses.
