Denver, Colorado – February 8, 2012 – Americans use the internet not just to book tickets and to check out product reviews, but even to find mom and pop shops just around the corner. In fact, 66% of Americans use local search to find local businesses. Local businesses must stand out from the competition to catch the eye of these prospective customers. 51Blocks, a Denver based SEO Company, has released a new online tool called MyGooglePlacesSEO, which helps local businesses assess their neighborhood competition by listing their top 10 competitors on Google Places.

“Local search is where the future is; it is important to know your local competition,” says Michael Borgelt, CEO of 51Blocks. “Business owners can see how they rank in their local market in terms of keywords. Just type the keywords and choose your state and city. The tool will list out your top 10 competitors for that keyword.”

51Blocks currently provides local online marketing services in SEO, local search, PPC, web design and social media management.

This is not the first time that 51Blocks has come up with an easy to use online tool to help local businesses. Previously, they had also released aGeoSiteMap tool which automatically generates KML files with your business information, which can then be submitted to GoogleMaps.

The new MyGooglePlacesSEO tool will help business owners redefine their local search strategy and attract more customers. If local customers are the lifeblood of your business, local advertising, online local search and local listings are things that you cannot afford to ignore.

Considering the rapid pace with which the local search market is evolving, it pays to closely watch how you and your competition rank for keywords related to your business. MyGooglePlacesSEO will help you do that at no cost.
