1. What is Local Search?
Local Search is something that we do every day. We used to call it looking in the yellow pages or looking for something in the newspaper or the flyer. Now most local search is done online on websites like Google, Yahoo! or Bing (formerly MSN Live).

2. Are many Local Searches done online?
You would be surprised at the number of local shoppers that go online to find products and services like yours online. Most local searches are performed at the major search engines; Google, Yahoo and MSN, which each have their "local" tools and services. There are a multitude of other local search specific sites like Local.com, YellowPages.com and many more.  Local search technology provides people with fast, easy access to a wide range of information that might otherwise be very time consuming.

3. Do I need to have a website to be found in local searches?
No. Since local searchers are looking to buy local services and products, they just need to know how to find you. The local search directories provide a wide range of information to the customer so a website is not necessary to benefit from Local Search Marketing. However, a website would be an added benefit and would be an online representation of your business. Let TrafficAttract build a cost effective, appealing website for you.

4. Will my company information show up along with the map?
Sure. All we need is your accurate business information along with your website (if you have one or we can take care of that for you too), a brief business description and slogan, services/products offered and promotions that your customers can avail of. 

5. What other benefits do local searches offer?
You can inform your customers of discounts or promotions, ways to reach your business location, products and services offered, your business hours and more. 

6. What locality will my business be listed under?
You will be listed under the actual address of your business. You may also choose to add other adjacent localities to your keywords. Please remember that it takes considerable time and effort to be ranked in a region where your business is not physically located.

1. What is a keyword or phrase?
A keyword is a description or category applying to your business. Customers enter keywords into search engines in order to find you, your products and your services. A phrase is a keyword combined with a geographic term, usually the name of a city. A phrase can also be a product or service that differentiates you from your competition.

2. Will you research keywords and key phrases for me?
Yes. If you have any in mind or would like to suggest a few, we would be glad to research the most suitable keyword that will ensure that your business is displayed when a customer searches for your products or services online.

3. Can I change the information on my business?
You certainly can. To make it easier for customers like you, we also offer maintenance packages that enable you to alter or improvise your information besides keeping your business high on the search lists.

4. How long after I register will I see my listing online?
Please allow 10-14 business days for your listing to appear on Google® and Bing™ once you give us your confirmation PIN. Yahoo!™ has their own review process that can take up 3 to 8 weeks, other search engines vary.

5. Do you guarantee my ranking?
No one can guarantee specific rankings but all of our clients are on the map for several keywords or key phrases, and land in the first page of search results for their other keywords and key phrases. Your ranking will continue to progress with time as long as you are managed by TrafficAttract.com.

6. Will all my keywords and key phrases rank equally?
We work daily for the high ranking of all your keywords and key phrases but they do not rank equally in search engines. There are many factors affecting rank and certain keywords rank differently in various search engines.

7. Will my business be found only in searches for my keywords and key phrases?
Your business will be optimized in searches for your specific keywords and key phrases but it will also be found in searches for your business name. In addition to that, your business may also be found in searches for variations to your keywords and key phrases.
