Here’s a recap of my talk last weekend in the First Iloilo SEO Conference. The powerpoint presentation is also at the bottom of this post.
Local SEO is all about taking a NAP
Name, Address and Phone Number – the most important things when you are doing local search engine optimization. You should establish consistency with your NAP across the web, from your website to all the major data providers.
Name – stick with your business name. There’s nothing more like being known for a single brand name.
Address – be consistent on how you display it. If the displayed address on your website writes 206-A Antel Seaview Towers, Roxas Boulevard, then it should be submitted to data providers as is, not like 206 Tower A, Antel Seaview Towers, Roxas Blvd.
Phone number – have the same number across the web. No toll free phone numbers, no tracking phone numbers. local area code provides more accuracy.
