    Hi, I've gone through your website. It has a good design but it is a little slow. Good work there.
    Regarding local seo, there are a lot to know and it's gaining a huge importance in recent days as more and more local busineses sprang up. There are a lot of things to be taken care of when you want to promote your local business. To start with, you've to a thorough keyword analysis concentrating on your local area. Another important thing is to list your business in google places, yahoo and bing portal. There are a lot of things to do.

    Hi, A specialized kind of online marketing that increases visibility for businesses interested in ranking for geographically-related keywords. A large part of Local SEO involves ranking in the Local algorithms, as well as ranking well in the organic results for Local keywords. Local seo is basically the strategy of optimising your website to rank highly in local search results.
    For example if you are an seo company and you are targeting the whole of Google for the search term seo, or search engine optimization, you are going to struggle to get your site listed on the first page.
    These search terms are highly competetive and are usually only attained by larger companies, that have the budget needed to buy their way onto the first page. If you look at a more local scenario then you have a much better chance of getting onto the first page.
    Hope this will help you :)
    Have a nice day :)

    Hello,

    Some tips for Local SEO.

    • Your website adress very important for SEO. Sub adress very important.
    Example: london.websiteadress.com & websiteadress.com/london

    • Busineses adress on Google maps. Google.com/business/placesforbusiness/
    Add your website adress with Google maps.

    • You need good content website links.
    Example: Chicagopizza.blogspot.com link to your website.

    You have got 90 links, Page Authority's maximum 34, this is very low. You need good backlinks for good place's. You can send PM me about this.

    Good days.

    Local SEO means ranking or using keywords related to Local

    Example: You are offering a Locksmith Service in New York State, then for Local SEO you will using keywords such as Brooklyn Locksmith, Manhattan Locksmith, Staten Island Locksmith, Bronx Locksmith, Queens Locksmith and other local areas. However New York Locksmith is also a Local SEO keyword.

    Local Organic SEO:
    Use Statewide keyword for Main Homepage and create inner pages targeted to each local cities. Do the SEO for Home page or inner page based on location priority. In this way you will cover most of the location in long run if SEO is done properly.


    Google Local Listing SEO
    List your Business in Google Local and make citations for it. Your listing need to be verified by Google Post Card. Your Local Listing will start ranking based on citations and other factors.

    Example of Citation:

    First login your Google webmaster Tools account and change the Geo target area to your country or your city and submit your URL's to local classifieds sites which is belonging to your target area. And build some high Quality back-links that is enough
