It was clear that he misunderstood the true power of Google Local Business Results (Maps). It was also becoming clearer to our team, that he was not alone. Many people think that the Google Business Maps only provide results for the area where your IP address is located. What they fail to see is the person in New York will have to type a geo targeted keyword in order to find any information on property management in or around Dallas TX.
To make our case we typed in the Google Search field the term "Property Management Dallas". Instantly Google retrieved a Local Business Map Listing with ten property management businesses in the Dallas area. Even though this search was made from an IP address in the Southern California area, we retrieved the Dallas Local Map just fine.
If we did not add "Dallas" to the keyword "property management", we would have retrieved the map where our IP address resides, which is Simi Valley, CA.
Next we took our research to the next level. We believed and proved that being found in Google Local Business Results for "Property Management Dallas" was just as valuable, if not more so, for the people searching for this keyword who reside outside the Dallas area. Let's take a look at what we found:
We see that our Property Management Company can be found by 100% of the people searching for their keywords "outside" of the Dallas Metropolitan area, and a sizable number of searches in the Dallas Metropolitan area.
Good value? Absolutely!
