“Who’s Seeing Who,” provides an overview on how to Canonicalize URLs as backlinks in local search and online business directories.

Barack Obama’s 2008 Presidential Campaign strategy targeted millions of voters through localized word of mouth using the internet.  For most SMB’s (Small to Mid-size Businesses), the mantra is still “target local”.  As the world moves to complete digitization, targeting local still applies.

Most everyone has used Google among the search engines available today to locate a local business.  Consequently, the importance of having your business listed in the local online results area is crucial to your growth. Not only are search engine results vital to business growth, but these results also help manage word of mouth, your online reputation, educating consumers and responding to negative feedback.
