"We all know that being on the first page of any search engine can make or break a majority of companies, and since sites like Google are known to list up to three local results before the organic list, it behooves you to start priming your site for local results. Here are five quick ways to do so," says Sujan Patel, an SEO enthusiast. "Invest an hour of your time following these tips, and it could pay off greatly."

1. Editing Your Listing in Local Search Engines and Directories
Here is a list of sites that you should check out first, as they carry a lot of weight in the industry.
Google Maps
Yahoo! Local
MSN Live Local
SuperPages
YellowPages
Switchboard
CitySearch

2. Display Business Info Clearly on Your Site
3. Check your WHOIS information
4. Start Getting Links
5. Don't forget Mobile Search

Patel concludes, "Optimizing your site for local search can be done fairly easily for the amateur site owner. Not only will it help you get more traffic, but it will also put you a step above all of your competitors, which will make you appear to be more reputable and on the ball.
