Do you ever check your details in local search? For that matter, when was the last time you checked your own details on your site? Actually, do you even appear local search?

Local search is becoming THE most important search and over the next few years search engines will concentrate almost all their efforts in trying to return relevant local results to users.

Search engines already use details gathered from those undertaking a search to try and match results. In the past you had to include geographic terms in your search query to have any hope of finding a local business.

If your wondering about your listing, go to local.google.co.uk and enter a search for your business. Local search now returns results with map and directions. Business details can also be included.

If you are not appearing local search, you need to focus your search engine optimization so that you can get that listing in local search.
