Target Local keywords

In the meantime, set your sights on local traffic. Let’s say you’re a event planner serving clients throughout Southern California. You’re based in Thousand Oaks, a city in Ventura County (neighbor to Los Angeles County). Though you’ll eventually target “Ventura County personal injury attorney” and later, “Los Angeles personal injury attorney,” when you begin optimizing, target keyword phrases like:
  • Event planner Thousand Oaks 
  • Meeting planner Thousand Oaks
  • Corporate event planner Thousand Oaks
Your best shot at early success is to capture the traffic in your city. Targeting more competitive regions should be part of your long-term plan, but it should be done after you’ve secured branded traffic and start to rank prominently for searches in and around your physical location.

Add yourself to Google

The next step when it comes to thinking locally is securing inclusion in Google My Business and other local directories. Establishing a local listing in Google allows your event planning firm to appear prominently on the SERP, within Google Maps.

You want to rank in those maps for your immediate area. Getting into maps is going to be a major source of traffic. Optimize your local listings and invest the time and money to find and gain inclusion in all of the major event planning directories on the Internet. The citations you build will help your listing rank more prominently and the most popular attorney directories online can be a valuable source of traffic.
