Like the original search engine boom, smaller companies are now charting the waters to see if location assisted mobile geotagging can help web rankings. Is it worth the time to invest now?
While most users relate geotagging to pictures, where digital pictures that are uploaded to web-sharing sites like Flickr and Photobucket can show the time and location where they were taken, the practice itself has much larger potential. In terms of marketing, geotagging through smartphones enabled with GPS systems can also create a digital record of where a user is at any given moment, and what digital billboards to show them.
Geotagging the Web
With geotagging, web designers can designate location specific tagging onto files, namely the latitude and longitude. For localized service businesses, a new market that goes beyond simple online marketing as well as direct mail can offer a way to direct traffic while on the go. Users looking for specific components through their mobile services can be matched to their searches, allowing businesses close by to advertise sales, specials, coupons, and even last minute promotions. For the time being, however, this type of mobile SEO will be heavily short tail keyword specific considering that users will be typing on cramped keyboards.
