Local City SEO services

16 years ago

We provide that service for clients across the country. I'm not going to give away my most profitable niches... but I will say this. The best clients are the one who are spending money on AdWords but they are not on the map. Once I start getting them as much traffic from their top of the map listing as they get from AdWords, their generally very grateful. An once you master a certain niche, say plumbers... you'll have an easier time duplicating your success with another plumber in another city. I never accept more than one client in a particular field, within a 20 or 30 mile radius or more depending on the type of business.

Thanks

Rebel, when you say getting someone to the top of the 'map' are you talking first place serp or literally google maps?

What i notice is that google placements has destroyed the value of organic first position due to the map being 2/3 the size of the screen.

Im not sure how Google maps fits into the SEO side of things.

Thanks

Get 30-40 of these clients and its easy street.

I am working on this concept at the moment and I don't think it will be that easy. You might want to check out GoGetta's WSO which has a list of niches that you can look into.

I work with local businesses across the country. It's relatively easy to rank the smaller businesses. Law firms though. Oi ve. I'd rather do 100 local plumber websites than an attorney in a big city. I'm still learning, so competing with more experienced SEO is a challenge.

Thanks

I never thought about this and it is a good idea if you think about it, its very hard to get top in your keyword, but city + keyword is very smart, its probably local to the customer making it easier for them, and its easier to get up higher in the rankings, good post

Thanks

I think its a good way to earn some quick bucks. But In case of India, People still prefer to hunt local service through some other media rather than internet. If internet service goes popular in our country definitely we earn lots of money from that.

Who says you have to do your country? There are hundreds of countries out there. Except for America. I have dibs.

@Yohan You've got a really good point. Plus, what legit business can't afford 300 - 400 a month for SEO services?

Here are a few ideas that work in any almost any city. Think of services w/ business owners that have money:

- lawyers
- doctors
- dentists
- cosmetic/plastic surgeons
- consultants
- architects
