What is Local SEO?
Local SEO is search engine optimization for businesses targeting a specific city, area, or location centered around the physical business’s address. With more and more users finding what they need by simply accessing Google map search, it is imperative that your business listing is up to date, properly optimized, and managed on a monthly basis.
Google My Business
GMB is a free tool offered by Google used by businesses to display their physical location on maps, search results, and in the Local 3-pack. Your GMB listing has to be verified and allows for posting, photos, call history, services provided, and much more.
Bing Places
Like Google, Bing offers a free tool for business listings on all of the Bing search channels. Although less popular than Google, Bing (which now owns Yahoo) makes up 30% of all online search. So your business needs to be present there as well.
PPC Location Extensions
Google PPC advertising offers local extensions that bring your targeted ads to Google map search. When a user searches maps for a service or location, your location extension can serve them a dot on the map to help bring attention to your business and convert a lead.
Social Media Local Targeting
Like Google PPC, social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn allow for location targeting within campaigns and ad groups.
Voice Search
Many users have turned to voice search with Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa. Voice search optimization is a crucial part of local SEO and our team has the experience and tools to get your business placed in the spots that help capture your target audiences.
