Thanks Preston.

I’m kind of stuck on the whole how to thing. I’d love to share on the one hand, though on the other I don’t want to give the competition any of my secrets!

I’m sure I’ll share at some point, but for now I think I’m going to keep things a little closer to the vest!

Thanks-
Adam

Hi Jeff-

Yes, I did change the title tags, though not across the entire site. The address in the home page of the footer had been there for a while.

I’m have to do more testing with all this but my hunch is the on page stuff had less to do with my ranking than off page factors.

Thanks!
Adam

Am I right that at least two of the tactics were changing the title tag across the entire site, plus adding an address to the footer?

You also could do a lot of local link building, and get citations.

Ha! I wouldn’t or couldn’t have done it without your help Bob. Thanks again!

I think the guy at the top of the search engines for the term “St. Louis Internet Marketing Business” is being just a little modest when he calls himself the lowly PPC specialist. No one is going to take the top spot for the most competitive Internet marketing term in St. Louis unless they’re an Internet Marketing god. The one thing I know for a fact is that you know more about how to get local businesses to top of the search engines than anyone else. Congratulations!
