If you are a web builder or webmaster; or offer other digital services online, it could be argued you can work anywhere in the world, or perhaps, for anyone in the world. Those with brick-and-mortar businesses, or who offer products or services strictly for a locality’s consumption, however, are not so lucky. They will need to attract traffic from the local area, by way of store visits, phone or email contacts, or website visits. In this day and age of the Internet, websites have become important tools in promoting a company’s products or services, whether or not it’s engaged in e-commerce. This has made local Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) critical in a business’ marketing efforts, particularly SMEs.
