When is the last time you picked up the Yellow Pages to find a local Philadelphia business? If you’re like most people, it was probably years ago. Now think about the last time you used Google to help you do the same thing. It was probably a matter of days. Local online marketing is the future of small business. In fact, it’s not just the future; it’s the present.
I read this article today and it reminded me of my previous posts helping Philadelphia business owners get more sales leads. This article by Gareth Owen sums up some of the exact same things I have been preaching to local Philadelphia Business owners. I recently helped a salon owner optimize his web pages and they have seen 3 times the new customer leads over this same period last year. THATS HUGE!!

I can’t tell you how many times Philadelphia area businesses want to meet with me because they are not getting much results from their website. Then I see whoever created the website simply did not set up the tags or did them wrong. These Philadelphia businesses could be getting hundreds even thousands of more hits to their website if they just had their tags set up correctly(unique tags per each page of their website). This article I read this morning will help those type of clients. Learn how to write effective Title Tags and Meta Tags as both are 2 of the most important factors for top SEO rankings on the search engines.
I have recommended many of my clients to get active on Facebook…some do some don’t. For those of you that understand the value of communicating and interacting with your local customer base this article has some great ideas for Facebook marketing.
I have done several posts about the importance and value of meta tags. However, I still see clients regularly with wrong meta tags or typically they use the same tag on every page of their website. I read this good article below that I feel can help local Philadelphia business owners have a better understanding about meta tags to gain better rankings and more sales. While the article points out that meta tags are not the one key to top rankings they due stress there importance and how to best use them. Be sure each page of your website has a unique Title Tag and Meta Tags. Remember each word in your tags MUST match words that are listed on the web page exactly.
