Fries On Top of Your Pittsburgh Local Search Salad

As the search engines move more toward universal search (the placement of multiple types of results such as images, videos, and news articles alongside Web pages), local search is becoming even more important - and affordable - for small businesses and organizations that operate on a local level. More often than not, anytime someone does a search with a geographical modifier (e.g. "Millvale" plus the service or product sought), she or he will see something like the folowing:

Pittsburgh SEO practitioners have different names for the area in the green circle. Our favorite is the 7-Pack. We almost wish there were only six results - would match up better with Six-Burgh. Alas - we'll just need the Steelers to pick up another championship (or the Pens to get four more or the Buccos to pick up another pair). Then again, everyone would think we were talking about Iron City if we dubbed it a "Pgh 6-Pack".

What's important to note is just how common this result is. This picture was taken from a normal resolution without cropping off the bottom. If you notice, no non-local Web results appear to the user without scrolling. What's more - the search engines use different variables in their algorithms (formulae) for these local business listings than they do for their universal search results.

So, if you want to rank well for local search, you need to turn to a firm that specializes in local search. Huge plus if it's an SEO firm that knows what gum bands are and redds up their office ahead of your meeting with them. Hey - we know one of those and highly recommend them!
