When I launched LakeAnna.Online, I didn’t just cross my fingers and hope people would show up. I did my homework. I asked the question every smart marketer should ask:
“What are people Googling?”

Then I took it a step further—who else is trying to be at the top of the search results for Lake Anna? Turns out, there’s a lot of noise, and not all of it’s relevant. So I focused in on what works: finding search terms that people are actually using—and that I could actually rank for.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Ranking for the broad term “Lake Anna” sounds great, but the reality is, that kind of search volume usually goes straight to Wikipedia or government pages. Competing there isn’t worth the effort. Instead, I zero in on long-tail keywords—those slightly longer search phrases that might get less traffic individually, but when you string them all together, they bring in a mountain of visitors.

Case in point:
✅ “Are there alligators at Lake Anna?” — Yup, I rank for it.
✅ “Roundabout at Lake Anna” — Yup.
✅ “Restaurants at Lake Anna” — Absolutely.

These are the kinds of real, local, high-intent searches people make every day. And it works. In year one, LakeAnna.Online pulled in over half a million views. And in just the last 28 days? 90,000 Google impressions. That’s a ton of eyeballs for a hyperlocal website.

So here’s the real question—if you run a business in the Lake Anna area—whether it’s roofing, rentals, building homes, operating a gym, or anything else—are you showing up when your potential customers search online?

Because this list below? These are the top 24 things people are actually searching for right now when it comes to Lake Anna.

Some of these surprised me. It’s early in the season and already we’re seeing interest in everything from boat rentals to, unfortunately, e. coli alerts and drownings. It’s a reminder that your online presence needs to be ready year-round.

Hi! I’m Jennifer Bailey and I partner with entrepreneurs who have massive ideas that could change the world. Most marketing is meaningless. Filled with empty promises, its only job is to bring in new traffic, new leads, and new customers. But I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and I’ve learned that marketing can do so much more than reach business goals and build profit. My methods give businesses the fire and soul they need to reach the right people, set the groundwork for sustainable relationships, and offer true value to the people on both the giving and receiving ends of marketing.
