Search habits have changed. We don’t ‘let our fingers do the walking’ anymore. We just ‘Google it!’

Are you happy with your internet presence?

Do you want to be No. 1 in Google searches?

Do you want to completely dominate page 1 of Google in local search so your competitors don’t get a look in?

Here is the truth, Yellow Pages is dead! Everyone searches for products and services using the power of the internet with Google being the # 1 search engine of choice.

Are Blend another SEO Company?

In a word no! Most SEO experts optimize one static website and are not ‘in marketing.’

Sure, Blend will optimize your website for the search engines but takes the marketing of that website to a whole new place. Blend creates multiple listings outside of your website to dominate Google Page 1 in local search using keyword phrases your customers use.

Why Multiple Listings?

Today it isn’t enough to be on Page 1 of Google, you need to completely dominate it in local search!

“If you share page 1 of Google in local search with other competing businesses in your sector you still only get part of the market share. By completely dominating it you get the lions share”.

Blends 3 Steps to Google Page 1 Domination in Local Search.

Blend Local Search Marketing are an internet marketing consultancy specializing in local search marketing and Google page 1 domination.

In todays fast moving technolocial world, it isn’t enough to be indexed on page 1 of Google in local or organic search. You need to completely dominate it for the keyword phrases and terms used by your customers when searching online.

If you share page 1 of Google with other businesses in your field you still only get part of the market share. By completely dominating it you get the lions share. Those who take advantage of this opportunity sooner rather than later will make the biggest returns on investment.

Why are keyword phrases important?

A keyword is way to broad…

For instance, if you Google the word ‘Security’ you get 569,000,000 page results, but what are you really looking for? Security in a relationship, security gate or a security alarm?

Keyword phrases of between 2 and 4 words produce more focused results. ie. ‘Yacht security specialists’ – 77,400 results.

Factor in Local Search using a town or city name – ‘Yacht security specialists Brighton’ and the results are a managable 5510.

Perry a consultant at Blend picks up the thread ‘We run reports for businesses on keyword phrases by getting into the mindset of the customers and their search habits. Time and time again we look at beautiful websites that have been SEO’d for a single word or phrase only to discover in the data that it is not a phrase that has ever been used in a search. So while the MD may see his website sitting pretty at the no.1 spot in Google, no-one else is ever going to find it, it’s dead in the water.’

Blend SEO your website using the proven keywords your customer use to search and ensure you have the correct local search listings.

Outside of your website we build a rich mix of supporting links, web 2.0 pages and media including: Social Bookmarks, Social Networks, Directories, Classifieds, Videos, Photographs, Link Building, Blogs, Pings, Articles, Comments, News, Reviews, Press Releases and other Rich Media.

This heady combination of web 2.0 and link building increase your web footprint, drive traffic to your site and provides lots of Google juice to keep it high is search results for years to come.

For instance, it’s important to have your business listed in as many relevant online directories as possible. There are literally thousands out there but submitting your contact details, opening times, payment terms, keyword rich bio, photographs, videos, voucher etc. is time consuming and tedious, besides your too busy doing what you do best, running your business.

Blend Local Search Marketing provide this service for you as part of our Google Page 1 Domination strategy.

The Next Big Thing in Local Search will Not Be Search Engines.

It will be online directories. Need confirmation? Try this little test. Go to your search engine of choice, Google, Yahoo or Bing etc. and type in a well known city name along with “restaurants” in the search box. Example “Brighton Restaurants”. A staggering 9 out of the first 10 generic results are for directories, not restaurants.

Why? Search engines realize that human powered directories with specialized knowledge can do a better job of leading users through the final phase of the search process. So specialized directory publishing will be the next big opportunity in online local search.

Wayne Perry the owner of the 19 year old company says “We thought we would trial the local search marketing route for 4 months and have been overwhelmed by the response we have got in terms of footfall, new customers and sales in that time”.

“We now have a strong web presence and are able to communicate with our customers every new development we have in store. We now culture Phyto Plankton on site for instance and this has been a big hit with customers new and old”.

He goes on to say “We have actually ceased advertising in trade magazines and in Yellow Pages and put our marketing budget online. We believe it’s a more direct way of communicating, it’s certainly more dynamic, timely and a better return on investment than traditional print press”.

Get ahead of the curve and ride the wave.

The Google Wave.

Google are releasing a real-time communication platform called Google Wave. This will transform the way we work and communicate online in the very near future.

We think the open source platform will render social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter to history as it combines elements of email, IM, web chat, video and photograph hosting, wikis, social networking and project management in one friendly in-browser communication tool.

Sharing files, editing documents and viewing videos with friends or business partners will be simplicity itself. These element will no doubt add more ammunition to the box of tricks we use for promotion in Local Search Marketing.

Google Apps can be added to existing websites to promote too and communicate more effectively with customers and colleagues alike. You should be using video as one of your marketing techniques to promote your business and services now to stay ahead of the curve. If you are using video already, you will be ready to ride the Google Wave.

More information about Google Wave can be found here.
