Input your local information, keywords, and zipcode and this tool will crank out variations for every town/township/region within a certain radius of your starting location. For local service businesses, this could be a boon for creating localized pages. |

Why an Apple search engine has a real shot at competing with Google — I’m not sure how I feel about this. Taking a quick look at a handful of our highly-trafficked sites, between 40% and 50% of our traffic is using an Apple-based device–either iPhone or Mac computer. If Apple does create a search engine and make it default on their devices, we now have to compete and optimize on a minimum of two search engines instead of focusing all of our effort on Google only. I’m not sure this is a good or bad thing…maybe it just means more work. Overall, I think competition is good so by that metric, I’m in favor. Still…change…scary. |
