If you want to dominate local search results for your business or organisation, the you need to stop playing “Peek-A-Boo” . Who knew that this age-old game could teach us a thing or two about local SEO.
Now there are 2 sides to this game. The first is that this is how it feels sometimes for your business online. One minute prospects and customers can see you …the next minute they are blissfully unaware that you exist and promptly hand over their money to someone else. Someone who was found easily.
The other side of this game seems to be that of the business owner. Businesses often find themselves in a state of denial, with blinkers on; where either they think local SEO is of little value, or that it is all too hard to consider.
