Everyone knows that SEO has been one of the most important elements of online marketing for the past 15 years. Google and the other search engines, as announced, are going towards a more localized approach when serving up search results to make it more relevant to the user. For instance, if you live in Manhattan and are looking for a “Florist”, Google will serve up local Manhattan “Florists” instead of Florists outside of the immediate area. Its all about relevancy with search engines. Local search is becoming the main focus of SEO. This is especially valid in the case of businesses, whose main clients segment are normally within their close proximity.
