How to Optimize Your Website for Local Searches

Get your website listed on Microsoft LIVE SEARCH for Enhanced Local Results

Proactive website owners and webmasters understand that having a local listing in a search engine is huge benefit. Both Google and Microsoft show local listings in their organic search engine results. Many of you may already have a Google Local Listing. So why not compliment this with a MSN Live Local Listing.

Microsoft Live Search
MSN’s Local Business Listings used to rely on a 3rd party provider Localeze to manage and catalogue all its local business listings. Not any more.

Microsoft is nipping at Google's heels in the local search market. Microsoft has implemented their version of Google Local called, 'Live Search Local Listing Center'. MSN’s Live Search Local Business Listings operates much like Google’s version of the same tool.

Let's take a look at an example of a 'Live Search listing' using my own company Visionefx.
