Website development update

Shop Local Delmarva search engine optimization is proceding as planned.  Some common keywords one would expect a Delmarva resident to use when searching for a locally owned business places the Shop Local Delmarva website at the top or within the top five Google results.  Much more refining for better placement is still ongoing.

In addition to Facebook support for the website, this blog now supplements the website with updates and new traffic.  On the website, the feed from this blog can be found at the bottom of most pages.  Like Facebook, it is absent from the individual business listings.  The individual business listings are to promote the listed business only, so the decision was made to keep the Facebook and blog feeds off the individual listings.

The two ads placed on WBOC Classifieds and Craigslist generated medicore results.  Two more revised ads in different categories have been placed in hopes of attracting more attention. 

Shop Local Delmarva thanks its newest three friends for their support as expressed on Facebook.  We're starting off small, but we hope you have us bookmarked and we become a valuable resource for you as we grow.

As a reminder, Shop Local Delmarva has committed to a two-year growth plan.  The support of you, the consumer, and of the locally owned and operated businesses will help project Shop Local Delmarva past the two-year mark.  Tell your friends and your locally owned businesses about us.  We look forward to serving you and the local business community for many years to come.
