I want to be "Local"

So I am making my own sites for my business. It is actually a few services and locations in two places. Los angeles CA and Missoula MT. I want to come up on the Local pages for both but do not have physical addresses for either. how do I handle this?

 

If you're trying to use Google Places, you can't unless you have a physical address. If you are just trying to increase the SEO for those local places, you need to use surrounded cities and such in your keywords.

 

If you want to come up on the local pages for both those areas then you need to build backlinks from sites that are ranking in those locales. You might also want to submit your site to local directories for those areas.

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

I believe it helps to have anchor text using geographic information as well. Also, phone numbers and addresses used throughout.
