Seasons’ Greetings from Blend Local Search Marketing

Local Search Marketing

Wow what a year it’s been for local search marketing! We’ve experienced unprecedented growth in our industry, within our own company and all our clients have grown, taken on new staff and reported their best years profits to date. Not bad when all we hear in the media are stories of doom and gloom! It just goes to show that if you are set in your ways and doing the same old thing, you’ll only at best, get the same results. Those with the for-sight to embrace local search marketing, use video and actively get involved with social media are reaping the benefits of getting more customers and more profits with a healthy ROI.

Next year will see the chasm between the old ways and the new ways of reaching customers getting even bigger and those businesses who embrace mobile local will be the main beneficeries.

Local Search Marketing – Case Study #2

June 23, 2010 By

In the second case study for Local Search Marketing by Blend we are going to have a look at London Property Video Productions.

This is a new company that produce videos to promote the selling and rental of properties. Their service, already established in the USA and Asia is new to the UK market. A website was required to showcase their products and services B2B.

The keywords chosen were in a very competitive area producing nearly 64 million index listings. This makes it much harder to rank in Google or any other search engine.

A content rich site was constructed. A blend of SEO, vertical, local and social marketing techniques is used to rank the website. Within six weeks London Property Video Productions have established themselves in the front of their customer base by dominating Google page #1 and #2 with 8 Google page one listings and 6 page two listings.

A website that ranks as well as the one above is a piece of company real estate commanding a high value and a tangible asset.

How to Get Your FREE Website Analysis and keyword Phrase Report

March 5, 2010 By

Blend have launched their FREE website analysis and keyword phrase report today.

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

In today’s 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.

SEO organic searchIf 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 manageable 5510.

Perry the founder of Blend Local Search Marketing 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.

You want video?

You should because Google love it (in fact they actually bought Youtube) Blend Local Search Marketing produce videos in house through our sister company IMP Film Co. so you can have professional media content at a realistic prices and then have it hosted on dozens of video platforms.

Blend will take care to grow and nourish you internet presence month by month and provide a detailed monthy report of the progress.

November 8, 2009 By

We’ve seen the future… and it’s local search!

 

 

Get ahead of the curve and ride the wave.

Google wave logoThe 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.
