Get the hits closest to home first. Get your site ranked in area you serve.

There is a common goal among all websites no matter your vertical market. That is to be ranked high on the first page for relevant searches for your product or services. It is a good idea to focus on the broader picture at times and go after the broader searches such as web design or search engine optimization. And you long term goal should be to get those rankings the more content you add to your site and the longer you have actually been online, but lets get narrower and rank faster for more concentrated searches.

Think about this in terms of advertising. You are paying an search engine optimization specialist to get your site advertised on internet searches. You would not sell your advertisement in California if you were a local Louisville web design company on the television if all you wanted to focus on was local businesses. That would be a waste of money. You would put your advertisements in Louisville, Kentucky and focus on only your market.

Local searches on the internet are ever more popular with the inceptions of services such as Google Local, Yahoo Local and MSN Local. Searchers are looking for services that they can obtain. They want to work with companies and individuals right in their home base so that they can get the attention that they need and deserve. If you are looking for a handy man, wouldn't it be more beneficial to you to find one locally rather than one that doesn't even work in your state?

So when it comes to page rank and getting your site out there as quickly as possible, concentrate on ranking your site locally. There is far less competition in your own city and even your own state. Focusing on local rankings narrows your competition to tens, hundreds or possibly thousands rather than the millions around. Its just a matter on focusing your content better than your competitors.
