Google Changes Can Help Your Local Business
ByLocal businesses just got a tremendous boost from recent Google changes in local search.
Local businesses have typically, and should continue to make sure they’re in the local search engines such as; Yellow Pages, Yahoo local, City Search, and several other local engines.
The fact is, that most people use Google to search for local businesses.
The big change that Google has made to their search engine is that when someone types in “flowers” with no geographical location,i.e. “flowers in Toronto”, Goolge will now detect the area that the searcher is in, and provide local search results rather than international results.
Matt McGee of SmallBusinessSEM.com emphasizes the impact that this will have on local small businesses. The little guys will now have the opportunity for exposure that has never been available to them before. The Google changes also emphasize the importance of “Search Engine Optimization”. Matt says, that SEO will continue to be really important for business.
