YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

What’s the difference between Local SEO and regular SEO?
SEO is the acronym for Search Engine Optimization. I’m sure you’ve heard of SEO but you may not know how it works. SEO is the process of getting your website to rank high in Google for relevant search phrases.

A successful SEO strategy combines tactics from these 3 core areas of focus.

Relevancy

This is how relevant the search engine sees your website in relation to the search term, it is based on the content of your website, including on-page content and blog articles.

Technical

This means how technically sound your website is on the backend according to Google, it includes things like meta tags, meta descriptions, alt tags & most importantly site speed.

Authority

This is essentially your website’s online reputation, it includes things like domain history, backlinks, guest blogs, anchor text and reviews.

Local SEO is a little different than regular SEO. Instead of focusing solely on your website, Local SEO focuses on your Google My Business (GMB) profile. When people do searches for nearby services or products, those results will be displayed in the right corner with the map highlighting where they can find any local businesses listed there.

Do I need Local SEO?

With local SEO, the location of your office or store is a big factor in determining where you rank. It may not be appropriate for e-commerce stores that don’t have a physical location or store. However, Local SEO is a great opportunity for any business that interacts with their customers or patients in-person.

Local SEO can have a major impact on driving more foot and digital traffic to your store. When done right, you will get increased leads from local customers in addition to establishing an identity within the community of trust surrounding this business.

Why should I Care about Local SEO?
Local SEO is an important part of your overall digital marketing strategy. Local searches are becoming more frequent and lucrative than ever, so you want to make sure that interested searchers find their way into the customer funnel! Did you know 64% of local customers use search engines or directories as their main way to find a business? 50% will visit businesses they find through Google Maps within 24 hours.
What are the key aspects of Local SEO?
First, after you create a Google My Business account start getting regular reviews from happy customers. Next, optimise your website for mobile with keywords in content that is relevant to local news stories or events happening near you.
In addition, it helps if there are location pages that focus specifically on those products/services. Get High-Quality Backlinks and Why not take advantage of online business directories like Yelp or yellow pages which offer free advertising opportunities.
