The phrase is “SoLoMo” & if you haven’t heard about it yet, you’re already late to the party. What SoLoMo essentially stands for is Social-Local-Mobile, or the convergence of Social Media marketing, local search marketing and (SEO-friendly) mobile web development. The reason you should be concerned, if you haven’t heard of this concept, is that it could be costing you new business. Daily!
Brick & mortar businesses see measurable increases in foot traffic with well optimized local listings throughout such platforms as Yelp, Hotfrog, Google Local & Google+, Foursquare and Facebook Mobile. With the integration of Google+ and Google Local, as well as Facebook’s native check-in mobile feature, as well as the fact that these platforms are accessed predominantly through smart phones, its easier to see how the concepts of Social, Local & Mobile come together in a cohesive multi-platform strategy.
What the output of this concept should look like, is a combination of verified local directory listings (ripe with positive glowing customer reviews), engaging and content rich social media profiles and search engine-compliant mobile applications and/or websites that are well optimized for searchers on the go!
