How to find best local websites?

[KempRugeLawGroup]

For example, I'd like to type in a zipcode and get the highest ranking websites by DA/whatever metric the software uses, within a 25 mile radius?

Does that type of service exist?

I'm looking to build up our local links, but most of the websites have extremely low authority. I'm trying to find some good ones without having to manually check each one.

Thanks,

Ruben

Hi Ruben,

One of our staff members wondered if setting advanced Google search parameters in the Moz Bar and combining that with a GPS emulator might get you further along in the process. There are such apps for mobile devices, but I'm not sure of one for desktop. I will say, I'm more used to approaching this from a citation angle, where you are looking for the top ranked sites for specific terms in hopes of hopping aboard there, but I think what you're describing is somewhat similar. I hope these thoughts are helpful.

Hi Ruben,
Hmm, nothing is coming to mind on this, I'm sorry. You're probably familiar with EZlocal's radius tool that will turn up cities and zips within a radius you set (http://ezlocal.com/tools/map-radius/) which might help if you end up needing to do this manually. Using that tool, you could get a list of all applicable zip codes or city names within X miles of a client's location, and then do manual searches and document your findings, but as a tool that auto-generates result via a radius tool, I'm not recalling anything I've seen like that. I will ask other staff members if they know of something like this and, if I hear of something, I'll return to update this thread. It's a good question you've asked!
