Google+
Every local business needs a well-optimized local Google+ page. While Google+ may not be the most heavily trafficked platform (Google claims to have 400 million users) the benefits are clear:
- Local Google+ pages are indexed by Google to enhance SEO
- Local businesses with Google+ pages will be displayed on local search maps, allowing mobile users instant access to your business
- Businesses with 10 or more reviews will be added to Google’s Zagat rating system, which again provides SEO benefits
After Google verifies your page, your local Google+ page needs to be optimized with content such as photos and videos. Individually, these are labeled with your keywords to increase SEO. Establishing authorship on Google+ is another great SEO tool and can draw links back to your site via your blog.
Twitter posts should be optimized with keywords as well, in 140 characters or less. Providing links to your blogs and content on twitter helps draw traffic to your site and effective use of hashtags will help users find your content.Promote re-tweets and become the next thing trending by offering contests and promoting events with a unique hashtag.
LinkedIn profiles should also be optimized with keywords, anchor text and links. LinkedIn provides an added SEO boost by allowing you to link up to 3 sites to your profile. LinkedIn is especially important if you are a B2B, as LinkedIn caters to the business professional and promoting your expertise to this concentrated group can prove invaluable.
