Looking for local SMO pricing?
If you’re looking for that, you probably already know that term stands for “Social Media Optimization”.
The first question I would ask is – Why are you looking for that?
Shouldn’t you be focusing on the real internet marketing foundation which is Ranking #1 in Google for your most valuable keywords?
Everyone wants a quick fix, and with all the buzz about Facebook and Twitter it can make you believe that Social Media Marketing is the most popular thing to do.
In my humble opinion, most (if not all) local businesses are chasing the “shiny” object called “Social Media” long before they have their true foundation and internet presence in place.
If you don’t rank #1 for all of your most valuable local search terms, why go after the 80% that only gets you 20% of the results. That’s the Social Media place right now.
You can Facebook and Twitter until you are blue in the face but if you don’t have a solid Google #1 position across dozens of your most valuable local search terms you are allowing your social media blitz to show up before your real content (which should be on your main website, and you have the most control over).
Imagine if your Facebook and Twitter content is at the top of the search engines and your competitor begins leaving negative comments or content about you on those same social media platforms — how much control do you have over that? Not much.
However, when you rank #1 in Google, you can add content to those #1 ranking pages and get it indexed by Google almost immediately.
Immediate indexing allows you to control the conversation in your market. Having no control over content outside of your company, with no #1 Google rankings to support you can be dangerous.
The truth is, most local companies leave their #1 rankings on the table because they are not easily won – however once achieved the power can be tremendous.
