SEO para Pymes y empresas locales

Últimamente el marketing online está en boca de todos. Pero si tengo una pequeña empresa local, todo esto no es útil para mi negocio, ¿no?. Mis clientes seguirán viniendo como siempre.

Pero espera: ¡hay gente en tu ciudad que no sabe que tu negocio existe!

El SEO local ayuda a los visitantes a encontrar clientes locales y obtener mejores servicios. En vista de la situación de crisis, las empresas tienden a encontrar otras vías de desarrollo. Internet ayuda a los pequeños negocios a superar las barreras que les impiden crecer. Así, un buen posicionamiento en la web puede abrir un nuevo abanico de posibilidades para dichas empresas.

Con la creciente importancia de ser encontrado en Google, la optimización para resultados locales se ha convertido en un tema de gran importancia tanto para las PYMES como para los consorcios globales. Las empresas pequeñas cuentan con una gran ventaja a su favor: a la gente le gusta apoyar a los negocios locales, así que para ellas es más fácil pedir opiniones, recibir reviews y dirigir a los usuarios web hacia su página web. Como la gente tiene un sentimiento de apoyo y confianza en las empresas locales, las búsquedas locales son cada vez más importantes. Aproximadamente un 40% de las búsquedas que se realizan en smartphones tienen una vinculación local y el aumento en el uso de estos dispositivos da una mayor importancia a un buen posicionamiento de SEO local. ¡Lo único que se tiene que hacer es convertir esas visitas virtuales en clientes reales! ¿Pero cómo hacer esto?, ¿por qué es importante para tu empresa y qué tienes que hacer para tener éxito? En el siguiente infográfico se lo explicamos.

As we promised, the Advanced Link Manager review

As we mentioned last month, after trying the SEO tool Advanced Web Ranking, which was a pleasant surprise, we wanted to try a tool for link building created by Caphyon, the Advanced Link Manager(ALM).
As happened with the Advanced Web Ranking you will need some time to get used to manage this tool, but once you do that you will be able to enjoy a powerful link manager tool.
Since the links to your site are one of the most important factors that will affect the presence of your  business on the Internet, it is very important to have a good tool to track your link campaigns. The ALM has many nice features and it is very useful for monitoring your link campaigns. We will try to explain which of them we like the most.With the ALM we don´t just have the opportunity to track how our links are evolving over time but our competitors’ too. This tool is essential to analyze where and why they rank for a particular query, and with just a little time you will be able to know what to do to surpass your competitors ranking. ALM allow us to see all this data in a graph, and edit it with all the information we want to check. For example compare our site against a competitor or just check the paid links.Everybody who does link building for themselves or for other companies will find ALM really useful. It allows you to generate highly customizable reportsin PDF, HTML, XML and CSV formats to show to your customers how the link building campaigns are evolving.Other feature we really like about ALM is that we can check easily the anchor text that we have for each one of our links, helping us to know on which keywords we should be focusing in the future.Because tracking the reciprocal links can be a very time consuming task, you will find helpful the fact that with the ALM you will have reports of the status of your paid links. It will let you know for example if any of your links have been removed or is nofollow, without the need of you losing your time every time you want to check this information.
Other thing that will help you to improve your link building campaigns is the feature find link partners, that will allow you to find potential link partners related to your industry based on your keywords list and your competitors. After that, ALM gives you information about those sites like the Page Rank, Domain Age or the Alexa raking.
One more thing, ALM will allow you to save a lot of time because you will be able to program a schedule update and at the end of the update, Advanced Link Manager will generate a report you. The combination of this tool and Avanced Web Ranking can help us a lot not just to improve our presence on Internet but also to save a lot of time.
