These quick-wins will potentially bring in tons of more customers if implemented correctly. But first, before we jump into the top 5 creatives ways of gaining unlimited local customers, I have a few questions to ask. #1. Do you have a local business website? #2. Do you have any sort of online presence? #3. How often do you blog if ever? #4. Does your business have any videos on Youtube? #5. How many of your customers from Google searches?   If three or more of these questions are not answered “YES,” then you are missing out on tons of customers that are right underneath your nose. When I say your nose, I’m talking about your mobile phone and computer you have at home. If you know it or not, at least 3 out of every five people have some form of access to the internet. This means your local marketing in Shreveport Bossier City is screaming for you to market to them, but if you don’t implement these top 6 SEO items below, you will miss out on growth.

#1 Optimize Titles

If you plan on getting any traffic online from those who are looking for your product or services, you need to optimize your website page titles. Now you may be asking why do I need to optimize my titles for the Shreveport Bossier City market?

Very Simple…

If Google doesn’t know what the page is about, then guess where they will rank you? Yes…on page 105. I don’t know about you, but I rarely pass page two, so it’ very likely no one will find you on those pages. If your a real estate company in Shreveport Bossier City, then you will need to add the city located in the title of all the pages on your site. By doing this, you tell Google I’m doing business in that city. For Example, We Buy Houses in Shreveport Bossier City

#3 First 128 Citations

Getting links to a local business website is not easy at all because, for one, no one wants to link to your website. Believe it or not, it’s hard to do local SEO unless you’re creative like me on getting links. But if you’re not, and don’t have the experience to do it, then I have a big surprise for your business. Sometime back, I put together a list of 128 citations that will allow you to place on a link in your profile. Some of these links are do-follow while some no-follow, which is good as well. I’m not going to get into the ins and outs of these links; just set up a profile and fill it out. Just doing this alone will put you light years ahead of the local competition.

#4 Create a Local Page

What is a local page that describes your business from A to Z or tells people what products or services you provide? Bingo, Bingo, Bing…You Reading a Local Page One of the best things to do as a local business owner is to create a page such as this one in a content or video form. Let’s stay with the content form as of now since most business owners don’t have time to create videos depending upon their industry. If you have a laundry mat in Shreveport La, then one of the ways to educate those in your local city about the laundry mate is to write some local content. Here’s a simple title I would use. Shreveport Laundry Mat | 10 Ways to Save $1000 a Year on Laundry Writing anywhere from 500 to 1000 words will be just perfect for this content for creating a local page. The key is to keep it simple and to the point, and before you know it, you will have what we call a local page.  

#5 First Five Video’s

When I start working with a new client for the first time after doing all the research on their local market from keyword research to local competitors. I try to create what I call the “First Five Video’s.”

What is this?

Video is the key to the future if you know it or not because people are more willing to watch something versus reading something. Yes, you can call us a lazy society, but heck it is what it is, and we must learn how to adjust. If your willing to create these simple five videos, and they posted to your optimized Youtube channel, which you supposed to have anyways. You will be able to gain, capture, and dominate your local market in Shreveport Bossier City in no time. Let’s talk about this video…   – Storytelling Video People love to hear the story behind your business if they’re interested in doing business with you. It makes not seem like something people will be interested in, but believe me, with little short educational videos at the beginnings of your business, it will set the mood. A video like this can be a simple walkthrough of the office or just a talking head coming from the Owner/CEO. Making this video part of your laundromat, which is the example I gave above will set you success in motion.   – Traffic Video This video can be a little tricky when you start to think about getting traffic to your website and place of business. You will need to create a video like this to drive Good quality traffic to your site. Getting this video posted on Youtube will put you in front of thousands of potential customers and clients. We can’t go another day looking past Youtube, no matter what industry or services you provide. You don’t have to a professional in front of the camera; you need to create something and get it out. There are steps to this system, and something I’ve learned in my 13 years of using Youtube for my business. Overall it’s about doing the research, and making the traffic video your audience on Youtube and Google will be able to find you.   – List Building Video Man, can’t tell you how many times I run across business owners who have no clue on building their list. Pretty sure you heard that the money is in the list…Right

Yea, Right

The truth of the matter the money is in the list, but for any business, if there is no repeat money being spent, then you will fold and close doors very quickly. Meaning if your a food truck person in Shreveport Bossier and those who come to buy from you each day are not leaving them…

• Name
• Email
• Phone#

Then you’re playing a dangerous game with the overall growth of your business. The key here is to create a list video where people are willing to hand over their contact info exchange for something of value. That item of value can be a recipe, food, etc... Once built a list of 100k people for my first business years ago by using this same model.   – Free Offer The power of FREE just runs people’s minds insane. Just like the last video, you want to offer something free to ensure you take action.

What’s The GOAL?

Here is something for FREE, so I can build my traffic, customers, and leads with this free offer. Come up with online something people will be dying to take advantage of. Doing this the right way, no matter the offer, will gain you more credibility throughout the local market.   – Close the Sale Closing the sale video is easy to make if you did the first four. You know your business better than anyone on this planet. This should be a talking head video bringing everything home that was talked about in the previous videos. Getting paid is what this video is exclusively all about is closing the sale. Tell people what they’re getting and how it’s the best product, item, or service in the Shreveport Bossier City area. But finally, you must be saying…Antonio, I can’t make these videos I wouldn’t even know where to start. No problem my friend shoot me an email located in the bottom right corner of this page, and I will be happy to give you a much-needed hand.
