Local SEO Services

What is local SEO? What is SEO? These are good questions to ask if you are a business owner, especially a business owner in Virginia Beach, VA and you are discovering Online Marketing Shark as he is a local SEO expert. What SEO means is that you are essentially trying to optimize the presence of your website for the search engines like Google. 

Local marketing is just that, becoming a leader in your local marketplace in the search engines. Most marketers will not tell you what I am about to say or look at it the same way as I do in this regard however I will tell you this, SEO is a game! All of it.. from ranking in the Google Maps to the coveted page one and it starts locally but once you leverage the power of the tool you can seek regional and eventually national domination!

​Local SEO increases the visibility of your business by driving your website to the top of local listings through the use of relevant local businesses linking to you. If you have a local business, you need geographically-relevant traffic to your site through specifically targeted local rankings that will launch your company to reach the target customer demographic in your market.

Lets Find Out How Competitive Your Market Is...

​Head over to Google and type into the search bar what product or service your business offers and the area in which you do business such as city and state and hit enter..

What we are looking for here first and foremost are the three businesses listed in the Google Map Pack. Does your business fall into these top three results? There is a lot that factors into this, but the trick to picking out a competitive marketplace is this:

Are the top three Map Pack listings also on the first page in the organic results? If so that is a good indication there is some competition in your marketplace and a local SEO strategy can be assessed from there. If none of the top three Google Map Pack listings show up also organically on page one, then we can assume it will not be too hard to take the number one placement! 

Map Pack number one placement is especially essential if there are a ton of ads at the top taking a % of the clicks away right off the bat.
