Release integrates Open Graph, for better Facebook insights

Rio SEO has released an upgrade to their search and social marketing toolset that will input some social data, helping local businesses get a better picture of their shoppers. Called the Rio SEO Local Search Optimizer, the tool integrates Facebook's Open Graph Markup into a local landing page.

This kind of hyper local targeting can give national or regional brands add scale to their marketing products. In addition to Facebook's Open Graph, the Local Search Optimizer uses Schema.org micro data.

"When it comes to search, social and content marketing, we have the first scalable SEO platform and content management system right out of the gate to offer local search integration with Facebook Open Graph Markup. 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," said Bill Connard, vice president of local search solutions at Rio SEO. "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. This is a huge benefit for local big-box retailers who face constant challenges related to time, money and resources."

Once on line, the platform allows brands to 'tag' and optimize local landing pages with shopper data; that information is then connected to data from the social network and markups from Schema are integrated. This type of integration offers more relevance for local search optimization and organic search rankings.
