Imagine you need to find a car repair shop in the current city you are in, but you do not know which one to call or visit. Some people might drive by a few local car repair shops as they travel, or ask for recommendations, but most people these days will go to Google, do a search and call the first ones in Google Maps near them, with the best reviews.

If you have not started integrating local search with your business, here is some data from two recent studies performed by Google to help show you the importance of local search. The studies were designed to gain insight into consumers’ local search behavior across smartphones, computers and tablets. The top behaviors consumers performed in local searches were for store addresses, Business hours, product availability, directions or a phone number to call. Incorporating local search behavior into our Long Island SEO, Social Media / PPC provides an incredibly powerful online marketing strategy.

Searches performed with local intent are much more likely to result in a visit to a store and a sale within one day of the local search. The likeliness of a purchase is also more than twice as great when the search is done on a smartphone, compared to a computer or tablet. Knowing this information allows us to get your products and services in front of more potential customers, when, where and on what device they will most likely make a purchase, contact your business or visit your store.

There are many factors that determine if your business will be listed above your competitors in local search results. Your business citations are one very important metric. Citations are the Name, Address and Phone number (NAP) of your business. Having correct and up-to-date NAP information is critical to making sure that Google authenticates your business as a real, verifiable business. If your NAP information is not 100% consistent everywhere, it will affect how Google ranks you locally and could lead to a penalty. Incorrect business contact information on the Internet can also frustrate potential customers making them move on to your competitor down the street who does have correct NAP information. We correctly maintain your information through our Local SEO NAP Service and correct any errors immediately across over 300 of the most heavily trafficked websites on the Internet. You can also scan your website’s NAP data with our free NAP Scanner tool to see what this information looks like.
