Numero Uno Web Solutions (NumeroUnoWeb.com), a fast-growing global Internet marketing firm that caters to small- and mid-sized business-to-consumer companies, is pleased to announce its top tips for optimizing a local search engine optimization (SEO) campaign on a tight budget.
As the experts at Numero Uno Web Solutions note, while the Internet has opened up the door to a global market, its important that businesses do not forget about developing local SEO, especially if that business relies on local Internet or foot traffic. When searching for a local business, 85% of consumers use the Internet to find local businesses; highlighting the need for these businesses to make their corporate information easily discoverable online.

Local search should be a key part of any small business marketing strategy, says Marco Reuter, Business Development Manager at Numero Uno Web Solutions. Unfortunately, in todays tough economic climate, many small- and medium-sized businesses dont think they have enough money to invest in online marketing and advertising. Ironically, not incorporating a local SEO strategy could have a detrimental financial effect on business.
According to the SEO experts, because local SEO tends to be less competitive, it can be easier for companies to be found by potential customers at rates that can be much lower than traditional advertising streams. That means small- and medium-sized businesses working with a tight marketing budget can execute a targeted SEO campaign to attract new customers, while increasing brand awareness, credibility, and authority.
Online users like consistency. Make sure page layout and graphics are uniform, and that customers can easily find the business name, slogan or tagline, and contact information. Let customers searching online know that they are dealing with a local business. Use a local area code and phone number instead of an 800 number, Reuter adds.
According to Numero Uno Web Solutions top tips, content should also be formatted, so its easy to find and read. Home pages cluttered with images, volumes of copy, and confusing navigation are visually distracting and difficult to navigate. Users who want more details and information can be prompted to go to other pages on the site.
Regardless of budget, the experts at Numero Uno Web Solutions can help small- and medium-sized businesses design a web site that connects seamlessly with local customers. To learn more about Numero Uno Web Solutions, visit the companys web site at http://numerounoweb.com/sitescore/.
