Google understands the importance of its Local search
Goolge Local Works works geographically, so you don't have to worry about adding Ddemographics to your Search Query or misspelling...
Check it out by doing a search, clicking on "show options" and selecting "Nearby." You can choose to see results nearby either your default location or a custom location, and you can narrow down to results at the city, region or state level.
If you have not done so it is time to get started, these 3 steps are a good place to start:
1. Ensure your address details are included across your website (footer or header). When including your address, make sure to cover off the suburb, major city, state etc. This will help to ensure youre included no matter what filter the user includes.
2. Google Local Business Listing is a must for your business. Google will naturally be using its local business database to help assign locator data to its natural index.
3. Gather links from Local centric sources. Links from local groups, councils etc will help to identify your website as a key information source from a local area.
