Hey everyone
I am going to start my local optimization work for my website tomorrow and i know nothing about it.
I do have a lot of knowledge in SEO but nothing about local optimization.
So i hope i am in the right place - i am looking for any professional advises and tips.
I created my Google places account.
Can somebody please write me which other website i should create a page for my business?
I know about yahoo local ( i haven't try it yet) but i heard that there is a list of website that it really important that my website will have a page in it.
Basically the local optimization is much more important for me than the general seo.
Thanks in advance!

Rehan

    If you want to secure ranking on first page of Google then you need to optimize your local listing first and create accounts on local business directories like hot-frog and more. Try to get links from local sites so you can perform better on local search engines.

    Submit your pages to local directories. For example your location is boston, submit your site to boston directories. Also publish some classified ads relevant to your location to improve your business.
