Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) January 17, 2010 -- ListedFirst.com has announced that their clients are already starting to reap the rewards of the April 2009 launch by Google of a new algorithm and search query results system. Said system essentially increased the importance of local listings on regular search results, and ListedFirst.com clients are showing up for a higher and broader range of keywords than under the previous system.
“In 2009, the local search world was turned on its ear as Google implemented multiple checks to eliminate rampant spam on their local results,” explains ListedFirst.com Owner/CEO Jordan Bunnell, adding “Because SEO techniques utilized by ListedFirst are “white hat”-based approaches – and because we are continually and diligently adjusting our SEO techniques to capitalize on Google-implemented changes, improvements made in the local search algorithm have created a significant net positive effect for our clients.”
Prior to the change, users were required to use a city and/ or state qualifier to find a local business (example: "pizza Salt Lake City UT"). With the new change a user in Salt Lake City only needs to type the initial phrase (example: "pizza"). The impact of the change is enormous. Google Local Listings now can easily rank well above standard web sites for multiple keywords and keyword phrases. The change will result in increased traffic to the Maps section of Google and Local Listings in general. Small and local businesses will now be getting exposure on at least hundreds, and probably thousands of prime keywords.
“As search marketers, we are ever aware that things change every day – every hour – in this business. Still, we often tell our small business clients that they don’t want to rank for terms like “lawyer” or “doctor” because they’re too generic, and the competition for those prime terms would be beyond their reach. But, with Google showing local results on this prime real estate, a big door of opportunity has just opened up. A doctor in Topeka can get visibility on the term “doctor” -- but only when local folks type it in. It’s important that we continue to educate our clients on how changes like this can shape their business lives – especially when the impact is so profound."
