Geographically Targeted SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)
March 10th, 2009 by Dan
If you are a business who operates within a certain geographic region, for example the North West of the UK, then a great way to be found in search engines is to target your website optimisation by focusing on North West SEO. This means that your keywords are related to your location and thus you bring in traffic who are searching for your products or services in that area, ensuring your targeted North West SEO efforts are rewarded with a good return on investment. Although with the power of the internet, the world is now in many ways a global village, many people would still much rather use a local company for many products and services, and there are many advantages to doing so.
There is little point in targeting the region with North West SEO if you don’t actually cover that area with your services, because users will soon realise this and navigate away from your website. Search engines will also work out if you are not what you portray yourself to be, and this will count against you in the results listings, possibly even resulting in penalties. Therefore only carry out specific North West SEO (or any other region) if you actually do cover that area with your products and services.
The main way in which to concentrate on North West SEO is to use long tail keywords which use names and regions to bring appropriate traffic to your website. A good North West SEO example of keywords for SEO Consult could be “Search Engine Optimisation Liverpool” or “Manchester SEO” because they state the service offered and the area covered, which is a likely search term that someone looking for website optimisation services in that region may use. You do need to be careful not to use North West SEO long tail keywords which are too generic as they may be difficult to gain rankings in because they are highly competitive. The key (as with all keywords for SEO) is to find the balance for your North West SEO long tail keywords so that they are popular search terms but not so popular that your North West SEO efforts won’t enable you to rise above your competitors using the same terms.
Creating geographically specific landing pages for your traffic to arrive at through search engines is a good way to maximise your North West SEO campaign. That way you can cover several towns, cities or areas through your North West SEO efforts, having separate pages for example, for Manchester, Liverpool, Chester etc. Visitors to your site will see which products or services are available in their area immediately and as they have found your website by searching specifically for what you are offering, your North West SEO campaign is likely to produce good results as they convert from visitors into paying customers.
