1. Optimize it locally it ll 100% boost you sales as the fastest growing vertical in search, many people are now starting to recognize the value of local search engine optimization can have on their site traffic. Also known as regional search, it's basically Geo-targeting your audience when they search. Local search works best for the service provider, or a retailer that has numerous locations. While the search volume won't be as great as a non-regional phrase, the person who reaches your site will be a more targeted visit and most likely ready to convert. Another happy accident in local search is that for sites that are well optimized may also pick up rankings in mobile search. So, here's what you need to do in order to rank for local seo: * Be sure to have your location(s) full address * If you have a regional number, list that as well since some people start with an area code * Be sure to include driving directions to your location * Use a mapping service to display your location * Have pictures of your locations and name them with your street address * Make sure your site appears in any regional directory that might be online * If you can afford it, get listed in your local yellow pages * Place the regions you want to rank for in your page titles * Get text links that contain the regional phrase Most of these techniques are not only common sense, but also good web design. If you're in business, you want people to be able to find you.
2. Well, It depends on what you mean by home based business. For me, I had several online business that makes money and here are some ideas I use: 1- Social Bookmarking. Whenever I have new articles posted on my website, I will book mark it to those web2.0 sites such as: Facebook, twitter, reddit , digg etc. 2- submit my site to web directory 3- prepare a press release 4- join other forums of similar theme and promote it from there.
3. Internet marketing is essentially content marketing. Businesses big or small need to have some SEO content out there to help people and gain their trust. A small business can have an advantage over big businesses with a good content marketing strategy. This involves not only having good content but also great SEO.
