This local SEO upgrade integrates relevancy tags into the recently-launched Facebook Open Graph Search capability. Hyper-local, geographically-targeted markup is now a key component of the . The tool allows for the integration of both Facebook Open Graph and Schema.org micro data into relevant local landing pages on a scalable level.
As a result, a high-volume, multi-location business or retailer can tag and optimize local landing page information (e.g., name, phone and address [NPA]; map data; description content; and links to store promotions), and then connect the data with Facebook Places pages through the “Parent Child” management process. Concurrently, Schema.org micro data markup is automatically injected with highly-relevant, local business data and content snippets, which can play a significant role in local SEO and organic search rankings.

This is a real game-changer for enterprise brand marketers who need to support hundreds — even even thousands — of individual store-fronts, franchisees, distributors, and/or dealers with local SEO and social media marketing.”
Connard said this development is one of three upgrades central to what is being called Rio SEO Local Search Solutions 2.0. Not only does the give enterprise brand marketers and local retail managers the ability to integrate their local search campaigns with Facebook, it enables instant local website changes with minimal IT support. It also allows for quick and easy access in order to customize dashboards essential to summarizing key SEO metrics.
The additional upgrades involve a sleek, new user interface built into a single CMS, which is at the core of the Rio SEO Location Finder tool.
With each new promotion, product introduction or price adjustment, the second upgrade allows individual store managers and their marketing agencies to easily integrate new campaigns and content into all of their local landing pages.
“Our software simplifies critical national-to-local website updates right on-the-fly without having to call-in the IT support or Web development team,” Connard said. “This is a huge benefit for local big-box retailers who face constant challenges related to time, money and resources.”
