I recently had the privilege of working with Material Things Design Studio to assist them in converting Local Targeted Traffic into customers by getting them established with an online presence.

They took advantage of my Free 1-hour consultation and at the end realized that it’s no longer an option to have a website – it is an essential business necessity!

I provide scalable, cost-effective, online marketing solutions that “fit” your budget! When I say “scalable” – I mean – it grows as your business grows.

And that is what I did with Material Things Design Studio a local Naperville Interior Design provider – They are online now and I will monitor their position in the search engines for their specific keyword.

No promises were made except I would provide them with a professional online presence that was optimized for their keyword, but…

UPDATE: 5-18-10 – #3 in Google for Naperville Interior Design

Home Inspection Service Naperville is another example of how businesses can capitalize on the Local Search trend…

In a short period of time I’ll dominate the search term of home inspection service Naperville -

This term and others like Naperville home inspection & inspector are also searched for, but I’m choosing this one based on the amount of people searching. Let’s move on before I get accused of “keyword stuffing” this page, which isn’t how you get rankings that last – so DON”T Do it!

So, imagine you’re a local home inspector and you’re either launching your business or it’s established and things have slowed down – in either case you’re looking for ways to market to new customers.

Well, it’s already been stated on this site that people are now throwing away their Yellow Pages and turning to the search engines (like Google) to find local businesses…with that in mind how do you think a potential customer would search for your business at Google?

That’s right! They’d use one of the keyword phrases above or some kind of variation. For instance if you go to Google right now and search for “home inspection service Naperville” you’ll get over 69,000 results. #1 right below the maps (Google happens to dance so it may be somewhere between #1 & #5) is a link to a website I created using a free service. Now it’s not the website itself – it’s a social bookmark that will redirect a person to the website.

You’ll notice the handful of Home Inspection businesses located next to the map, marking their proximity to Naperville – most of these businesses have a website (good), but…they’re no where to be found below the maps (bad). As a matter of fact you will have to go to the #6 listing (besides my listing) below the maps to find a local Naperville home inspector.

With a little on-page Search Engine Optimization and a little SEO marketing one of those sites listed next to the maps could dominate this local market and rake in new home inspection service customers.

It’s not rocket science, but to those business owners who don’t know how to properly market their business online…it might as well be! That’s where Local Targeted Traffic comes in!

We will walk you through the process of marketing your business online – you can work with a proven Expert who gets RESULTS – just look through our case studies.

If you’re in doubt – bookmark this page and watch as my case study using a website built for free takes over the top spot in the search engines: http://HomeInspectionServiceNaperville.weebly.com

Naperville Teeth whitening is a case study on the importance of a local Internet Marketing strategy.

The website just launched on August 23, 2008. We’ll watch it’s journey as it travels through the search engines and lands on the front page of Google.

Naperville Teeth Whitening has approximately 28 searches a day (840 per month) with just over 24,000 competing pages in Google.

What’s it worth to a local Naperville, Illinois Dentist if they can capture the information on 8 new clients a month? Where do I get 8 from? This is the low number I use – typically in direct response marketing 1% is the minimum response you can expect. This varies, but most marketers use 1% as a base and aim for higher responses.

Imagine you’re a cosmetic dentist in the local Naperville, Illinois area. If you’re like most dentist or professinoal service providers you haven’t got a clue about websites. You know you need one so you farm it out to some classy webdesign firm that charges you thousands of dollars for a real nice looking flashy site. It’s got all the bells & whistles. But…

Is it working for you? What is it doing if it’s not working for you? Floating around in Internet Space?

840 people a month are searching for teeth whitening in Naperville, Illinois (a Chicago Suburb) – the problem is…they’re not finding your clinic! Why not? You paid good money for a website that people can’t find?

Don’t get me wrong, but most webdesigners are not marketers! Your website is a marketing tool – It advertises your business 24/7, 365 days-a-year!

It’s flexible too, you can change your marketing message in a matter of minutes or days (try that with a yellow page ad).

If you’ll notice at the Naperville Teeth Whitening website there’s a contact form for potential clients to reach you. That’s the beauty of Internet Marketing. A simple autoresponder form that captures the visitors information and then…follows up with Your Targeted Marketing Message!

Back to the case study…Bookmark this site and come back often as I chronicle the journey of this local search term.

Watch as some local Naperville dentist reaps the rewards of having a top local listing by leasing this website once it reaches the front page of Google.

Front Page Google Listings

There are other keywords that Arnold’s Bicycle Repair is getting traffic from: used recumbent trikes, used recumbent bicycles, recumbent bikes illinois, & more – over 100 visitors a month to their website!

It’s costing Arnold’s pennies on the dollar (compared to other forms of marketing) to get this kind of exposure – and they’re doing it without all the flash in their website.

Websites don’t have to be flashy and loaded with all the gee-whiz tech gadgets to win the Local Search Wars – it’s sad to say, but most webdesigners have a graphic design or technical background and little to none marketing experience.
