Geo-data for Search Marketing SEM & SEO - how to get accurate and affordable geo-localised data for search marketing. The challenges of getting accurate geo-data for targeted local search marketing. How to target long tail searches on search engines like Google and Bing using geo-targeted search keywords and ad copies.
2. Do your customers use geo-localised searches to find you or your
competitors?
Do you know how they search for local services?
‘Plumber’ + ‘near [street name]’
‘Plumber’ + ‘in [postcode]’
‘Plumber’ + ‘in [colloquial name for an area]’
‘Plumber in’ + ‘[area/region]’
Any combination of the above?
Can you find accurate data on all the names of streets, areas,
postcodes etc. your customers use?
Can you find that data at an affordable price?
Geo-Data & Search Marketing
3. Map data may be misleading!
People don’t agree on the names for an area or even part of a street
Long streets cross several parts of a town or city
Difficult to know which addresses belong to which catchment
area/postcode
Colloquial names vs official names
Colloquial names persist in local usage long after official names or boundaries
change
E.g. ‘Restaurant in Gerrard Street ‘ or ‘near Leicester Square’ or ‘in Chinatown’
Misspellings
E.g. ‘Bermondsey Street’ vs ‘Bermonsey Street’ vs ‘Burmondsey Street’
Your customer data tells you only the customers that found you, not those
who found your competitor!
Peculiarities of Geo-Data

Target long tail searches by appending geo-localised data to
keywords
Adwords that match the way your customers search
