How do you write blog posts for getting local results?   Blog Writing is a great Content Marketing strategy and can produce very good local search results which improves your Blogging ROI.

This can be very effective for local businesses looking to do Interenet Marketing.

Here are some tips to improve the results you get for your blog writing with a local focus.

1. Use your local keywords – but do not ignore the other smaller keyword targets.  Things like neighborhoods, small surrounding towns, parks, local sites etc.
2. Add your address in the footer of the blog and also use the city name in some of your blog posts.  Having it more than once (but not too much) will increase the ranking.
3.  Write about local businesses that are not direct competitors of yours.  For example, if you are a realtor you might talk about home inspectors or home stagers.
4. Write about the community – If I am writing for a restaurant then I would write about what it playing at the cinema down the street and also local events.

These are just some of the obvious things that I would cover to hit a local market.  Local markets have a huge advantage (especially in smaller cities) because there is much less competition and much better keyword focus.  Your blog writing will be a great local content marketing strategy that gets results.
