Geographical SEO is just like any other search engine optimisation. Generally speaking it is primarily about SEO content creation for websites with the minor addition of geographical references to the keywords. For example, a website for gardening tools that is based in the UK in the city of Birmingham has a website that targets keywords like “wooden handle spade”, “seated petrol lawn mower” and “modern garden accessories”. While these keywords may prove useful for this particular business the website should be including geographical SEO to fine tune these keywords for their local area. This means adding location keywords to create phrases like “wooden handle spades in Birmingham, UK”, “British seated petrol lawn mower” and “modern garden accessories in Brum”. This covers a variety of different words that all point to the same location.
However, Birmingham is the second largest city in England so it stands to reason that competition even for these keywords will be tough. Not only that, but this particular website only offers services and delivery to people in their local area so there is no use receiving traffic from users in Edgebaston (South) Birmingham if they are located in Sutton Coldfield (North-East). Because of this, you need to refine your search string even further to include words such as “Sutton Coldfield” which is the town within Birmingham and “Upper Parade” which is the area where the shop is located.
Why is Geographical SEO useful?
Geographical traffic does a number of things for websites. Firstly it drives specifically targeted traffic to your website increasing the over all quality of website visitors. This is because it targets keywords that will be used by people in the local area as well as generic keywords. Anyone searching for garden tools in Sutton Coldfield upper parade is sure to find our pretend website which is loaded with geographical SEO. This also means you have less traffic from places that are not useful to the business, if you don’t ship overseas there is no point receiving traffic from locations abroad. The most useful traffic to you in this case is that which comes from your local area or at least your delivery area.
Secondly geographical SEO refines the keywords you are targeting which eliminates further competition and makes it much easier for you to obtain a high position in search engine results. Less people are searching for Search Engine Optimisation in Palma de Majorca, Spain than for Search Engine Optimisation in general. That means even though the possible traffic quantity is reduced you have a much better chance of getting a high percentage of this traffic if not all of it!
