All of these techniques can be applied at a national level as well, but be aware that there are a few optimization techniques that you should be aware of for search engine marketing in Canada.

Local twitter

Twitter has always seeked to be a tight knit community with a neighbourhood feel. It really tries to bring people together, and this can be especially interesting if they are in close proximity. Most people enter their city location so tools like twellowhood and nearby tweets offer great opportunities to find and follow local twitter users.
