Why is Local SEO for Higher Education Important?
Because many prospects would like to attend higher education institutions close to their hometown.
In fact, 95% of mobile device users search for local businesses online. Even more important, 88% of the people conducting local searches followed up with an action (a call, a visit, a purchase) within one day.
Local search engine optimization is becoming more and more important because people are constantly searching for information on their mobile phones. However, a staggering 20% of the information they find is wrong. And with new promotions and other adjustments local businesses go through, each month 6% of online listings need to be changed.
Each time a person searches for a college, university or faculty member, there are many sources they can use (Google Local, Yelp, YellowPages, etc.). Each of these sources stores local information in a separate database. This means there are hundreds of databases out there that could be pulling erroneous information about your institution and delivering it to your prospects.
tSunela provides a Local Search Optimization package that synchronizes these listings so your organization’s information is correct—across all databases.
