Local SEO Tools and Reference

Local search is the use of specialized Internet search engines and locations within the primary engines (i.e. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc..) that allow users to submit geographically constrained businesses against a structured database of local business listings.
There are roughly 6 major directories that feed another 50+ major search engine and directories for local and GEO searches. In addition the major search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo offer local listings in addition to their organic results. When focusing on local search your most effective place to start is almost always "Google" and their Google my Business page. |
