Or let\u2019s say, you\u2019re hungry on a Saturday evening and dying to try some place new\u2014how about a Mexican restaurant with killer margaritas.<\/p>\n<h2>Google and Local Search<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What would you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most likely, if you have a smartphone, you would do what most people do: search on Google for a solution. Whether you search \u201cauto shop\u201d or \u201ctop Mexican restaurants,\u201d Google returns with the closest and most relevant results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does Google know what to suggest?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, Google looks at some important factors to find the best results in your area.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a local business that wants to <a title=\"Why You Need Google and Google Plus More than It Needs You\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/google-and-google-plus\/\">target local customers<\/a> in your area, optimizing your Google+ business page is a great marketing avenue to get in front of customers in your area.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>First\u2026 Location, Location, Location<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s go back to the example where you want to search for an auto shop in your area. When you do this search, you\u2019ll notice the results of auto shops closest to you. There can be a bunch of results if you\u2019re in a big city or there can be just one or two if you\u2019re in a rural area.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because Google takes into account your geographical location.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Consider the Area of Your Business<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you <a title=\"5 Excellent Ways to Use Google Hangouts for Your Business\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/google-hangouts-for-business\/\">optimize your Google+ page<\/a> it\u2019s important to consider where you\u2019re located. Are you downtown in a major city? Or are you off in a suburb?<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to make sure you aim for the area where you are actually located, rather than an area you\u2019re nearby.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re in the suburb near a major city, you\u2019re better off ranking for that suburb versus ranking for that major city.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Take Advantage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Make sure to mention the area you work when you write out your \u201cintroduction\u201d on your Google+ page. Actually, write it in the description on EVERY directory listing that mentions your business (i.e. Yelp, Yellow Pages, Foursquare).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do Your Keyword Research<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"5 Creative Keyword Research Ideas\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/5-creative-keyword-research-ideas\/\">Keyword research<\/a> will help you determine how many people are searching for your type of business in your area.<\/p>\n<p>Higher populated areas will have more searches, but the competition will be much greater than\u00a0that of a lower populated area (i.e. Chicago chiropractor has more searches than its neighbor, Oak Park chiropractor).<\/p>\n<p>A lower populated area will have less competition, but fewer search results \u2013 sometimes even 0 search results. It helps to do your keyword research to see where the opportunities are in your area and industry.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Moving Forward\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have a better understanding of the importance of your geographical location, next\u00a0we\u2019ll dive into another important factor: citations.
