Blend Local Search Marketing have developed an affordable internet marketing strategy that gets your business visible where customers are searching; on the net and on Google Local Maps… it’s called Blend Local Map Marketing (BLMM)
Are you disillusioned with the ROI with your Yellow Pages advertising?
Are you confused by SEO and internet marketing information overload?
Are you paying a fortune for CPC (cost per click) Google Adwords?
“If you are serious about having your business in the Google Local Map 7 Pack and on page 1 of organic local search this is going to be the easiest business decision you have ever had to make”.
Type in any ‘service’ and a ‘city’ into Google i.e. cycle shop Lincoln, restaurant Brighton or orthodontist Leeds. This is how your potential customers will find you. Do you want new customers to find you?
Google page 1 shows the same results for the local search. You’ll notice Google local maps have 7 spots (A to G) to the right of the map, below there are 10 organic listings and to the right (and sometimes above) are paid advertisements (CPC).
Here’s the thing… If you are not in the Google Local Map 7 Pack or page 1 of organic local search no one is going to find you. Page two is rarely looked at. The reality is if you are not on page one you are NEVER going to get any business from Google. However, one point to remember is that you don’t even need to have a website.
So why choose the Blend Local Map Marketing service for your effective local search engine marketing solutions? Well we really believe that we have simply put together the strongest local search marketing package available today at the most affordable price. Your success is our success.
Do you want more quality leads?
Do you want to get new customers and engage with existing ones?
Do you want to increase sales?
Get your business in the Google Local Map 7 Pack and be on the first page of organic local search and you will get more leads, engage with customers and skyrocket sales. Well, that’s exactly what we’ll do for you. We’ll get YOU seen in the right place, by the right people so you can convert these qualified leads into sales and build ongoing relationships with them.

Google can change their algorithms at any time so we may have to implement new optimisation tactics to achieve the same results. I would like to thank you for your business and rest assured the team at Blend are working on your behalf to help your business succeed beyond all expectations in these competitive and difficult times.

Is Paying and SEO Agency Worth It? [Case Study Included]
Before we start going into detail, check this out!
Have you ever experienced the blue screen of death on your computer before? The above is pretty much the SEO equivalent. Ouch!
As you can see the website in question received a major telling off from Google, and consequently put in the naughty chair (zero organic traffic) in late August/early September. When this orthodontic practice joined us in May we began to resuscitate the once buoyant website. With that being said there is an insane amount of competition for the first page on Google for an orthodontist in New York.

Local or Social… It’s a Media Revolution
Local or Social… it’s a Media Revolution
Social Media is having a massive impact on the way we connect with others, market our businesses and sell to local and global markets. But like all things there is a right way and a wrong way to do things. It’s not called Social Media for nothing… and that’s where some people get it wrong.
Social is as social does. It does exactly what it says on the tin! It’s social, it’s not called selling media. The first rule of social media is that you never sell anything. The second rule of social media is you never sell anything and the third rule… you get the picture.
Social media is a way of connecting, networking, sharing, engaging, highlighting, informing and influencing. It’s all these things and a whole lot more but never selling. Well, not in the old way!
Imagine if you will a long lost friend contacts you and invites you over for dinner. You accept and a few days later your friend is seating you at his table. You make small talk over the starters and before the main course arrives he tries to sell you an insurance policy, gets you to buy into a dodgy business venture or offers you a once in a life time opportunity to join a MLM scheme. How uncomfortable is the rest of the dinner going to be?
It’s the same with social media. It doesn’t matter if it’s Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Youtube or any other network, never ever sell on these platforms. Instead engage and build relationships, pass on sound advice, jokes, news and videos of cats up trees. Be active and post comments, reply to comments, give things away for free, start groups and fan pages, subscribe to other channels and support your online friends.
Those in your social network will know what you do if you have completed your profile correctly and when the time is right they will approach to buy from you so you never have to sell to them.
Most people do business with others within a 20 mile radius of their place of work or home. Social media allows you to broaden your social circle and reach more people. It also allows you to reach your friends friends. Friends talk so good recommendations are very important in social media. After all who would you rather do business with, a stranger or a friend or of a friend?
Be Local, Be Social, Blend
If you would like more information about any of the issues in this article please leave a comment below. We promise never to try and sell you insurance, a dodgy business venture or MLM.

Marketing Round Our Way
So the Yellow Pages has a new look!
I received a letter this morning from Yell informing me that the famous Yellow Pages directory has been redesigned to make it better.
Apparently they’ve split it into two distinct sections. Business paying advertisers will now appear at the front and general free listings are now in alphabetical order at the back. This means paid for ads will stand out.
Apparently their research suggests that the changes could increase usage by up to 12%. Their research as far as I could ascertain was in two small areas back in 2009.
Now I would suggest this research is already out of date. How have they’ve bucked the trend from online searches back to paper when all other research in this area points to online searches still growing at huge monthly increments and the traditional methods trailing off and bottoming out?
The compact size maybe easier to fit in the letter box but it’s just as easy as it ever was to drop in the recycling facility.
Congratulations to Wampit!
Meanwhile the online business directory Wampit celebrates it’s first year with 350,000 business listings and 60,000 unique monthly visitors to it’s site.

WordPress Website Security
Increase Your WordPress Website Security
Since WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems, it gets a lot of attention from hackers who want to exploit your website and its resources. WordPress website security is not something that can be taken lightly. If your website is compromised, it can get you blacklisted in search engines, cause irreparable damage to your business and ruin the credibility you have worked so hard to maintain. Read more
Blend Local Search Case Study #1
Local SEO Case Study
In our first case study for Local Search Marketing by Blend, we are going to have a look at Perry’s Aquatic Centre.
Perry’s Aquatic Centre is a tropical, marine and cold-water fish shop in Lincolnshire. The business has been around for over 18 years but had no website.
Blend started by discussing with the owner what they wanted to achieve with an online presence and together decided on what search terms they wanted to be found by. We then build a Blog website that allowed the owners to manage content and communicate with their customers on a regular basis in the future.
In less than two weeks Blend had positioned Perry’s Aquatic Centre on Page 1 of Google and within three weeks had 7 out of 10 listings for the keyword search terms. A further 4 listings were recorded on Page 2 of Google.
The first new customer the website produced purchased goods from the centre with a ‘Print-off and Present’ voucher on the second weekend after the websites launch.
Blend also opened an affiliate account with Amazon and built an online store on the website. This generates a revenue stream of passive income for the owners. In other words they earn money for doing nothing. Amazon looks after all the sales and posts Perry’s Aquatic Centre a commission check every month. All they have to do is cash it.
Above The end-of-week 1 screen shots using the keywords ‘Aquatics Centre Lincoln’. The search term turns up 151,000 listings. Notice Perry’s Aquatic Centres website has yet to rank on Google Page 1 but directory listing are present.
Above At the end of week 3, Perry’s Aquatic Centre completely dominates Google Page One with 7 out of 10 local search listings including #1 and #2. There is also a map, directions and the company’s telephone number and full postal address.
It also has two video listings further down that catch the eye of the searcher. Also notice the #2 listing is indented. If you click on ‘show more results’ button another 5 pages of Perry’s Aquatic Centre are opened.
The methods we use to blend local search and market this company give the searcher rich content and relevant information on the business and the competitors are completely blown out of the water.

A Strategic Partnership to Get More Online Reviews
Explosive Internet Video Marketing
Video Marketing
Video marketing is quite simply the most influential form of marketing there is available to us today. What’s more, video can generate immense amounts of traffic to your website and that is all free traffic! People are naturally drawn to and will always watch videos whether they are on television, ipad, smart phone, airplane or on the Internet. So why not give them what they want?
Marketing using the power of video is a highly efficient communication tool and the competition out there is much less than standard website search engine rankings.
Videos can take many forms and as with all business decisions it is best to have a clear strategy and achievable objective before you start to implement video marketing into your overall marketing mix.
A video can be as simple as a talking head or vox pop, a Powerpoint Presentation, a mini series, a vlog, product or service announcement, an EPK (Electronic Press Kit), a showreel, a teaser trailer, Property Video, How To Video or a full blown production depending on your business, objectives and budget.
Uploading your videos to Youtube and dozens of other diverse video hosting sites such as Revver, Daily Motion and Yahoo Video will broaden your influence on the Internet. One of the main benefits of video marketing above all other forms of Internet marketing is the viral effect. It’s very easy to send someone a video, link it to your and anybodies Facebook page and even twitter it to literally hundreds of other social networking sites.
To ensure you get the most from your video marketing it is important to set up the video with an appropriate title, description, links, keywords or tags, and submit it to a suitable category. For maximum results we also bookmark videos on a minimum of 20 social bookmarking sites and submit them to 10 RSS feeds.
Search engines such as Google, Yahoo! And Bing give more weight to website pages containing video than text alone. They also have the power to keep people on your page longer. When 8 seconds is the average time for someone to land on a page before leaving, video can keep them there a lot longer, 3 to 5 minutes is not uncommon.
Video Marketing Advantages
* The most effective way to immediately drive traffic to your website.
* An excellent strategy to build relevant and quality back links to your
website.
*Increase your Google ranking quickly for highly competitive keywords.
* More listings on SERP (Search Engine Result Pages)

Take Action – Your Local Search Marketing in 2011
Local Search Marketing in 2011
Blend Local Search Marketing have just returned to the UK after a after a 2 month trip to S/E Asia, in the main, Thailand, the beautiful land of smiles. While there Blend provided consultancy and Internet marketing training to a multi-award winning 5 star hotel, resort and spa in the region and other local businesses such as restaurants, bars and online retailers.
Vitanart Vathanakul and Perry Stevens – Royal Cliff Hotels Group
While there we observed businesses facing the same problems in two very different economic climates. As the UK, Europe and the USA struggle with their heavy burden of debt, the East is absolutely booming, so much so that you can almost feel it in the air.
Global/Local Search Marketing
The common problem businesses face in both climates is visibility, and now days that means online with local search marketing. Everyone knows they need a website but it’s still surprising that even in 2011 there are still hundreds and thousands of businesses without one.
Most businesses also know they need a Facebook page, Twitter and Google Places but don’t know how or have the time to get themselves established online or even know what to do with them if they already have them.
Record Growth
Blend Local Search Marketing celebrated their first year in business at the beginning of February and now service clients on 3 continents. All our clients without exception have reported steady growth, more customers and increased profits in the short time we have implemented and managed their Internet marketing strategies. Some have experienced growth as much as 30%, others have had record sales month on month. Not bad at all in the current climate!
Listening to the radio, watching TV or reading the papers and all we hear are stories of doom and gloom so it’s inspiring to hear success stories such as these across many different industries. It’s inspiring but not surprising because our clients are smart! They knew where their prospects and potential customers were and took action to reach them… and that was online!
Local Search Marketing – Taking Action
Google Adwords are getting more expensive and who can afford to throw money at this advertising medium month after month when Google can pull the plug on your account without warning like it did to 40,0000 accounts last year. Over night your whole advertising and marketing strategy has disappeared along with you potential new customers and leads.
Blend Local Search Marketing have a proven track record of getting their clients on page 1 of Google for their chosen keywords and with multiply listings that have the added benefit of knocking your competition off the page and can demonstrate this in real time searches.
Blend Local Search Marketing can help your business get more customers, increase profits and help you produce record sales in 3 steps.

10 Years in the Blend – A Celebration and a Trip Down Memory Lane
It was way back in January 2008, and I distinctly remember talking to a Dutch banker on the little island of Don Dhet (Laos) in the middle of the Mekong River who was telling me about his sudden redundancy from his City of London high finance job.
Around that time, I was living in Shoreditch, near The City and the words ‘redundancy’ and ‘banker’ never appeared in a sentence together. As we all know now, this was the start of a global recession that unfortunately continues to this day.

Local Search Marketing – Case Study #2
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.
Above Google Page 1 Domination with London Property Video Productions taking 8 out of 10 listings in a very competitive market place.

Google page 1 shows the same results for the local search. You’ll notice Google local maps have 7 spots (A to G) to the right of the map, below there are 10 organic listings and to the right (and sometimes above) are paid advertisements (CPC).
Here’s the thing… If you are not in the Google Local Map 7 Pack or page 1 of organic local search no one is going to find you. Page two is rarely looked at.

Easily Host and Install a WordPress Blog
Hosting and Installing a WordPress Blog
I am fortunate enough to be able to do a lot of of traveling and I also spend a considerable amount of time online but it always surprises me when I find a business that doesn’t have a website. After all, online is where customers are searching for products and services and a website is your shop window to the world.
I, like most people, ran a company many years ago and I wanted to get my business seen online and needed a website building. I didn’t know anything about DNS, HTML, PHP, CSS, Style Sheets and all the other coding scripts and tech babble so I bought ‘Building a Website for Dummies’.
I struggled to get my head around the simplest of ideas and I could see this was going to take a forever to figure out and build a functional and good looking website. Time I didn’t have as I was running a business. I wasn’t a designer or a coder.
A long story short, a friend built me a websites instead. All well and good but I often wanted to change or add new content to my site. This was expensive and I couldn’t always get hold of him so the updates were not very timely.
This I found very frustrating but made me determined to find a solution to my problem. I knew there was a way of being in control of my own site and business. What I needed was to have the ability to update my website as often as I wanted and do so without breaking the bank. That’s when I discovered WordPress. If you’ve had similar experiences read on…
The perfect fusion between, design, functionality and SEO.
WordPress is an open source web blog, meaning literally thousands of people and companies contribute to developing the style and functionality of the code and do so continually.
No 2 WordPress’s are ever be the same as there are thousands of designs, widgets, plugins and themes to mix and match. They are totally customizable and incredibly search engine and design friendly. They really are the perfect fusion between, design, functionality and SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
You can have a free WordPress and host it on their platform or a self hosting wordpress giving you unlimited functionality. To self host your WordPress (it’s what I would recommend) all you need to do is purchase a domain name from a domain name company like Namecheap. (more about domain names and web hosting in future posts) Once you have your domain name for example: www.mywordpress.com you need to host it somewhere. Never purchase a domain name and host it with the same company. It’s like having all your eggs in one basket!
I highly recommend Hostgator as the hosting company for your domain. They have round the clock customer service that is second to none and dozens of fantastic training videos. So if you want to learn how to carry out just about any task on your website by literally watching over someone’s shoulder, you can start/pause and teach yourself very easily using these video tutorials. Hostgator are also committed to providing greener solutions for their servers. With their certified Renewable Energy Credits (REC’s) in wind power, HostGator is not just neutralizing their environmental impact, they’re actually reversing it. So by hosting your website with them you’ll be making a positive impact on the environment too.
It really is that easy, I mean if I can do it just about anybody can! And as I say, there are excellent training videos showing you how to do it, each and every simple step of the way.
If you would like help building or designing a WordPress Website or you require some assistance purchasing a domain name and hosting, contact Perry at Blend Local Search Marketing. I’m always happy to help!
