What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the work that makes a business show up when people nearby search for what it does, in the Google map results and the local organic results. It rests on three things: the Google Business Profile, the pages on the business website, and listings across the web that agree with both.
What are local SEO services?
Google Business Profile setup and optimization, on-page SEO written for your trade and towns, consistent listings (citations), review replies, backlinks, and tracking of the keywords you want to rank for.
Why is local SEO important for a small business?
Google decides which nearby businesses to show by relevance, distance and prominence, and all three can be improved: relevance by the profile and pages, distance by naming the towns you serve, prominence by reviews, citations and links.
What are local SEO citations?
Listings of your business name, address and phone number on other sites, such as Facebook, Bing Places, Apple Maps, Yelp and trade directories. When they all match your Google Business Profile, Google can trust the details.
