What is Local Optimization? Local Optimization for countertop stores and kitchen countertop fabricators is making sure that your business name, address, phone, hours, etc. are properly listed on all of the search engines and business directories. It also is how customers find your business on the web. As described previously, when you do a search on Google like “countertop stores near me” you will generally get 3 types of results. The first is the paid results (SEM). These are ads and it’s Google and Bing make a lot of money. The second set of results is called the Google Local Pack. These results are powered by Google Maps and several other factors. One of our goals is to make sure you are listed in these results.
We have 2 goals with Local optimization. First is to make sure you are listed on the local directories and second to make sure that the information is accurate. You would think this is easy, but it’s not. The problem is that there are many content aggregators that take bad information and then share it with other aggregation sites. The result is a long list of inaccurate business listings which need to be fixed and managed.
