Question by jspinx: Local SEO question-is it necessary to include the city name in your keywords?
if you want to target Los Angeles Real estate, is it necessary to include the “los angeles” part in your website when doing meta tags and keywords? Does google know where your website is?

Best answer:

Answer by Ben
This is a very good and important question you’ve asked.

Google can identify the country that your web hosting provider (e.g. Godaddy, or perhaps yourself) is from, and can look at your website’s TLD (e.g. .co.uk, .eu, etc.) but cannot get any more specific. If you specifically want to target Los Angeles, it is vital that you include that regularly throughout your website’s content, as well as in your Meta tags and title.

Google Local SEO – A Key Success Element For Your Business

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is one of the most lucrative and result providing method of online marketing. However with newer innovations and changes in the marketing dynamics, there is a better opportunity for you to market your business online with Google local SEO.

In this very unique and enterprising concept you can acquire customers by micro targeting areas that you can serve for your products or services. Since a lot of people are searching for stuff available in their area, they add the name of the region, city or province to the actual keyword thus creating a new keyword niche. With Google local SEO you will be able to cater to a lot of such customers in various areas. Moreover your site is optimized for the specific areas that you are targeting by addition of relevant content and keywords.

Another Google local SEO trick is adding the business name to a lot of directories and sites that originate in that specific region thus increasing the relevance of the site to that region ultimately leading to higher rankings.

At the same time, one major benefit of Google local SEO is that you do not have to wait for long to see yourself on the top of the search engines. Since the keyword is targeted to a niche location, the competition is relatively low and appearing on the top page with the right kind of help can be reasonably fast. Hence the money that you invest in this form of marketing can get you returns at a faster rate. Also since the competition is not as immense, the chances of your ranking being displaced are lesser therefore you can even benefit from long term traffic coming from a keyword.

With this tactic the customer might also develop trust in the company looking at the localization aspect that you offer. Most people tend to develop a trust or bonding factor if they see that a business is being directed specifically to their area, it is mostly a sense of pride that develops.

This particular concept is fairly new and not a lot of people are opting for it yet, you can find a reliable SEO company that can perform this for you at a reasonable rate so that you can start making the most of it. You can be sure that the benefits that your will draw from this activity will be immense.
