Local SEO Tools Slice The Competition

Writing by Brick Marketing on Wednesday, 28 of May , 2008 at 10:45 am

There isn’t any doubt that local Search Engine Optimization Marketing is a primary goal of most webmasters. It is through local SEO that a business can either move to the head of the search engine pack or be lost somewhere around page 27, which might as well be Nowheresville, Invisastate.

Studying the SEO market can be both time consuming and tedious, but when you’re trying to figure out your competition’s strategy in order to beat them, SEO can turn into game of cat and mouse. A successful marketer needs to find the keywords being used for a competitor’s successful site and develop a strategy to get ahead of them in line. You can’t out play another team if you don’t know the rules they’re playing by.

There are new products on the market that can find out what a specific domain’s keywords are, and other products that center on finding what keywords are being used and by whom.

SpyFu offers strategic research and competitive analysis on keywords. It will find out what keywords your competition is bidding on to optimize their own rankings. Once you know this you can narrow your own local SEO campaign and focus on those words. This can save your business costly trial and error keyword campaigns that generate scattered and possibly useless results.

If Local SEO is at all confusing to you though, don’t expect a product like SpyFu to solve your marketing issues. It won’t. It is a tool to help experienced webmasters and SEO marketing execs make the best and most efficient use of their time. A scapel in your hand won’t make you a Doctor, and SpyFu won’t implement the right local SEO marketing campaign for you.
