Written by James Stratford on 04 October 2009

The purpose of this video is for The Local SEO Firm to share with people details about Bing Local which needs to be utilized as a part of any local search strategy. This will provide you a much needed resource for the public. This will provide a valuable link with a great page rank and if done right will add a little traffic to your businesses website.

I encourage you to watch the video and follow the directions below the video so that you can start setting up your Bing local profile to get your business some more of the needed local presence.

- Go to Bing Local https://ssl.bing.com/listings/ListingCenter.aspx
Add your business name, phone number and address.
-Bing will confirm that your business isn’t already registered and tell you to either edit or create your Bing Local business profile.
-complete all fields and remember to provide the pertinent information. Be sure to include your keywords in the text, website link(s) (if applicable) as well as your images. This helps to validate your business and to potentially improve rankings.
-Utilize Bing’s websites area to add additional relevant links to your listing. Depending on your business it could be brochures, menus, Event Brite for your planned events, Information on services you provide and pricing, and any other things which are important to promote your business.
-Verify your listing. Bing will send you out a confirmation letter to your business office. Take the code in the letter and go to the website as listed and confirm this and you’ll have your Bing Local Listing!

Here’s an example of it from my own listing:
