Nice information about improving your local search keywords. I’m definitely going to have to try this out with keyword lizard now…

Great article. One key (for local) is making sure, after you have your keywords, that your Title Tag and H1 tag agree. Order is important, knowing that Google weights priority from left to right. So many times I’ll reverse the order of my keywords on the H1 tag, compared to the title tag. And it never hurts to have some agreement in the URL.

However, what you say about having those keyword phrases both ways in the meta data is for sure correct! However, mixing up the order in the title tag bs H1 tag seems to be the answer to what the 1st poster is speaking to.

Robert,

Do a quick Google search using those two phrases you suggested. I see two different search results. The search engines want to match the user’s search query as closely as possible. Having the “flipped” versions helps make your site more appealing. If there isn’t too much competition, why not own all the relevant keywords you can?
