Local SEO: City specific SEO campaigns in South Africa

Over 90% of the internet users are searching the web for local services and products. This number grows daily, which is an increasingly important factor for local search engine optimization.

Today hardly anyone buys without “googling” beforehand for a service, shop or company. The relevance for local search terms in the search engines is highly important. To be on page one of the search results suggests to the user more than just a good website. The view and opinion of the majority of Internet users reflects in a good ranking on Google and other search engines.

For local businesses very often nation-wide or even global search engine optimization is not important because they only serve the local market with their product or services. Therefore very specific localised optimization is the key to more business.
