As you can see above in the huge spikes in traffic on our site Localtized. How did we get such huge spikes of traffic literally over night? We created a strategic plan on what are the best places to get traffic for my site and the different ways to get more traffic.

Laying Out Your Traffic Strategy

The first step is to discover the best places you are going to target for your traffic. Great places to target are Search Engines, Social Media Sites, and other websites that are related to your niche or business. If you have a business then Social Media is a really good place to start. For example Localtized targets other business owners so we spend more time targeting places like LinkedIn and other business sites.

We also started a Search Engine campaign to target more keywords that would target phrases that would most likely bring the targeted traffic we need. First step we did our market research. Discovering the best keywords using Google’s Keyword Tool.

After you select the best keywords then it’s time for On page and Off page SEO. On page SEO is optimizing your website with your selected keywords using them in the title, description, meta, and in the content of your website. It’s also a good Idea to keyword optimize all the images on your website and make sure your website loads quickly.

Off page SEO mostly consists of getting a link back to your site from other websites. This is called link building. Another important thing to take note of is to use a hyperlink with your keyword as your link. For instance if I am targeting Local Business Marketing I would use that as the link on other sites to link to mine. The best way to think about links is popularity votes. The more you have the better chances you have to rank on the first pages for your selected keywords.

As I talk to many business owners especially the “Old School” business owners they are not aware or don’t care about social media.

They clinch to the old ways of business and cringe when you try and talk to them about how to market their business online.

Let’s face it not many people use the phone book anymore or read the paper and why should they? You can get all the info you need faster on the internet. This is especially true today as the rise of smart phones. Anyone with a smart phone has the power of a powerful small computer capable of browsing the internet all from their pocket.

With these smart phones like Android’s, Blackberry’s, and iPhone’s you can look for businesses, restaurants, shops and everything in between. Not only that you can get directions, phone numbers, coupons and other things.

Also you can manage and engage in all your social media accounts. Almost everyone you know friends, family and clients are on social media like:

These are the three major social media sites you should be active in especially LinkedIn. Whether you have your business present on these sites or not people are here talking about your business. Don’t you think it’s important your business is present on these sites so you can interact with them? Also if your starting a new business social media is a great way to spread the word very fast.

It’s also a great way to generate traffic to your website so people can see your services and what you are all about. If I were you I wouldn’t waste anymore time about wondering if you should join in on Social Media.

Here at Localtized we know the importance of Social Media Branding. That is why we have created an ultimate package that spreads your brand on over 100 social media sites and other blog content networks.

Local Business Marketing

Google places is where you can manage your business listings in Google maps. You know when you look for a service in your area and you see the maps on top of all the other listings? If you look below I have attached an image that shows an example of a search result of map listings for the phrase “Pizza Atlanta GA” this is just an example to show you. I’ve highlighted the map listings in YELLOW.

I also want you to notice what I have highlighted in RED. Those are other sites that have reviews of their service. This is an important part in helping you get higher rankings in Google Maps. Google cross references these other sites to see if your business is a good business to list over all the other listings.

Whether your an internet marketer trying to help out your clients or you have your own local business. Here are some of the best practices when creating your listing. This is a very important part of your listing. You must fill out your listing with everything that you can. The more you input to your listing the more you will get out of it.

How To Get Your Listing On The First Page

Now that you have your listing all set up we still have some work to do. Making your listing and optimizing it is not always enough to ensure that you appear on the first page. From my experience the two biggest factors that effect your results isCITATIONS and REVIEWS.

The first part we are going to talk about is citations. Citations simply are other sites that have your address on them. They could be your website or other websites. The best practice is to have your business listed in as many directories as you possibly can. Here is a list of the Top Ten most important sites to have your business listed.

To get more reviews you need to encourage your customers to leave feedback about your business via through the above websites or directly on your Google Maps listing. The sites I listed above most of them will not only give you a citation but allow your customers to leave feedback. You can write them or send them an email to take a few minutes to leave feedback for your business.
