If you are a small business owner and are looking to find ways to get your website found in the major search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo there is a ton of information you can find online but once you start searching you will find quick that all the information can be more than a bit overwhelming.

From the day to day interactions I have had with customers my experience has been that it is best to start with a few minor changes to get things moving and then over time work to integrate more advanced web development techniques for making sure your business is found online.

With local search growing fast (in 2008 the growth rate was 58%) it is important that your site is properly setup so that the search engines can determine where you are located and what types of services you offer to your customers. If you are not doing this properly or do not have a website at all there is a real good chance your competitors are showing up when it should be you.

So, with that we here at HyperlocalSEO.com are focused on providing you with real world, easily implemented tips to helping you build customer growth for your business, even if you are the most offline of business.

Our first tip is a simple one, make sure that you put your address on each and every page of your site, or at a minimum on the About Us and Contact Us page.

This one thing can make all the difference in the world in how the search engines view your site, it can be as simple as the following:

Address:

ABC Company

1234 ABC Drive

Flat Rock, AZ 87733

Phone: 555-555-5555

Although that will work great in the content on your contact us and about us pages another couple great options would be to :

  • Put a site wide text box in your navigation menu bar on the left or right of your site
  • Put the address horizontally across your footer

I have witnessed both of these work for customers.
