Local search has been around now for several years. At first, it wasn’t taken all that seriously—the thought patterns of many people out there were something along the lines of, “I’m trying to take my business worldwide on the internet, why should I waste my time with local?”
Attitudes have changed.
Let’s get straight to the point: Local is the future of the web and you’d be downright foolish not to join in. Why?

Florida Web Development Firm Helps Debt Settlement Company Connect With Customers Online
New Debt Solutions and Lending, LLC website created by SEO King, Inc. is now online, effectively attracting a broad spectrum of targeted customers.
July 24, 2009 – Plant City, FL – With a national economy in turmoil, it was eminently clear to the professionals at Debt Solutions and Lending, LLC that the financial problems commonly experienced by the average American would continue to become worse. To exasperate the situation, most consumers who were experiencing financial problems with spiraling debt and unmanageable mortgages were not aware of where to turn or what their options to resolve their situations were.
Because of this, the company knew they had to do something differently to reach out and connect with those in need of professional attorney-based assistance. The company decided that the best opportunity to reach potential clients in need would be to establish a high quality new website aimed at most effectively attracting a broad spectrum of targeted customers with an emphasis on using organic search. Ultimately contracting with SEO King, Inc., an established web development firm based in Plant City, Florida, all of the pieces were quickly put in place to create a results-producing new web presence.
Many small businesses aren’t doing a website because they don’t know what they’re doing. Or, they’ve got a website, but don’t get what it’s for or why it has to be there. Fortunately, there are some small businesses out there that do “Get It” when it comes to leveraging their websites to achieve greater success.
These businesses are reaping some real benefits from investing in their web presence. So how can you tell if a small business “Gets It” or not? The sign posts will be pretty clear to you when you stumble across someone who is doing things right.
Despite all of the SEO services that exist these days—many of them mediocre at best, business websites are still making some major blunders. While this is by no means an exhaustive list of some of the missed opportunities out there, these are some of the big ones that are constantly being seen over and over again.
For the SEO King, business is good, life is good!
When it comes to building high-performance websites, along with creating and implementing ground-up search optimization strategies, these days, successful businesses all over the country are turning to George Chaney (and it’s no surprise that Chaney is known as "The SEO King").
Who Is George Chaney?
The brief bio goes something like this: As founder and President of SEO King, Inc., George Chaney is the quintessential example of a hard-working entrepreneur who’s found ongoing success on many levels in life. Developer and owner of 5 A-List websites, 4 with a national audience along with 1 that’s regional, George has managed to build what many would consider to be a "golden web empire."
Of course, like many entrepreneurial success stories, the road to success didn’t exactly reveal itself without the expected speed bumps and obstacles along the way. Choosing to get right to work after high school, Chaney is actually quite educated – both in the school of hard knocks and with real life, hands on professional experience that’s as varied as it is remarkable.
Prior to getting into the growing field of web development and optimization, Chaney prospered through a series of fast paced professional employment experiences. With 8 years in the banking industry (3 of those years specializing in the field of mortgages) preceded by 8 years in B2B commodity sales (mostly within the manufacturing industry), professional career highlights easy to come by.
Enter the web business. Like any "Generation X’er," Chaney didn’t have the good fortune of growing up with the internet or learning it from a young age. For this generation, even having a couple of computers in school was a luxury. Internet and web experience had to be something that was learned step-by-step from scratch – with passion.
Chaney began his foray into where he’d ultimately find his most enduring successes not unlike many in the early days of the web. He was very impressed with the potential of the web and built his first web presence more than 10 years ago – an AOL personal web page. Naturally, it didn’t take long for things to progress from there.
Just a brief couple of years later, Chaney was rapidly progressing full speed ahead with his very own web business. Today, with more than 7 years of professional web marketing experience, his own portfolio of sites has netted more than 12.6 million pages served over just 4 years and on pace to serve nearly 1,000,000 unique visitors this year alone.

Search engine marketing is a wide, wide world, and it’s easy to get lost in all of the information and advice out there. You can’t try all of it at once, so how do you put together a solid marketing plan that will get the job done without being overwhelming? It’s actually not rocket science. All you need to do is take a step back and focus on the critical essentials for your marketing plan.
In your quest for natural traffic, you should be thinking about using the Google and Yahoo sitemaps program to make your site more accessible. Now, I know there is some concern over the newest updates from Google, which we’ve already covered in this blog. However, in the long run, the sitemaps protocol really is for the best, and to ignore it is to leave valuable traffic behind.
Essentially, the sitemaps program is designed to make it easier for the bots to index the content on your site. If you are already working on getting good organic traffic, as you should be, then this is another tool for your arsenal. The sitemaps are fairly straightforward to put together (and an essential part of our SEO strategy), plus they offer a number of tangible benefits to you.
We’re all familiar with the story of the young man who asks a multi-millionaire how to be successful. “Find out what the people want,” he says. “Then give it to them.” As if it was just that easy!
Wait, this is the internet…maybe it actually is that easy.
The trouble is that many people aren’t paying attention. Good people, too—people who ought to know better. The result is websites that don’t convert well. Yet, you can likely double or even triple your conversions by simply understanding what visitors want from you and handing it over.
We know that you want to be the best at what you do (or it’s likely you wouldn’t be coming here for tips). Yet you have to ask yourself how far you are willing to go to get traffic to your website. Are you willing to bend the truth a little? How about a lot?
Honesty is a big issue on the web. You also hear it talked about as integrity, transparency, or trustworthiness, yet it all boils down to the same thing—millions of web browsers are out there looking for something real, and they’re having a really hard time finding it.
