At the minuite no but I will be once I know the onsite Seo is ok? where would you suggest I add my links? Tom
Maybe I missed it, but I did not find your address listed anywhere on your site. If you want to rank for a local search you definitely need to have your address listed on your site. Also, I would include those areas that you service in your page titles, and ideally I would create a unique page for each of those areas you service and optimize it specifically for those phrases.
I've started making some area pages eg: http://Londonsparky.com/electrician-in-Colchester what you think of it? I'll be adding my two different address on my contact page or should I place it on my home page?
That is a good start, nice work. Here are a couple of things I would add/modify: 1. I would also include some variations of your target phrase in the page content and body (ie 'Colchester Electrician', etc.). You can use a keyword research tool to research the different phrases users use to search for electricians. https://adwords.google.com/o/Target...000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS#search.none 2. I would include the specific address for each city on the city electrician page you are creating. Make sure the address format is exactly how it appears for your business on other pages on the internet (Google Places, internet yellow pages, etc.). You can also add both addresses to your contact page if you want, but the most important thing is making sure the address is clearly tied to the appropriate city electrician page you are creating. 3. If possible, I would also try to increase the amount of content on the city electrician pages. Perhaps mention the name of certain neighborhoods or landmark businesses you have worked with or in. The more local information you include on the pages the greater your chances of coming up for local searches and for the search engines identifying your business as servicing those areas.
Nice advice! I would add a few things: - If you optimize well enough your website and Google Places page, you would be able to rank even with your Google Places listing for the whole region (Essex) - Your website lacks content. You will have to work on that a lot, otherwise the links will be basically useless, when not pointing to anything valuable - I failed to find your address on your website. For a local business, having their address listed at numerous places on the website is crucial - You could try and mark up your business information on your website with schema.org - You could definitely work out a better structure footer
schema.org is amazing - it helps google understand the content on your site and they rank you higher and more prominently for it
I have recently check your keyword Essex electrician and competition is 2,820,000. It's not easy to get ranking. I have check your keyword ranking in google.com and found it on 9 position. But I strongly feel that your site need some on-page work. Thanks
