Local SEO for small businesses is one of the best ways to keep your phone ringing and get more foot traffic in your physical location. Local SEO targets “near me” and location-specific keywords to help customers in your area find businesses just like you! From security companies to HVAC professionals, Succeeding Small specializes in helping service-based small businesses gain the visibility they deserve.
Local SEO helps businesses appear in search results and get more website traffic. Website traffic alone, however, doesn’t help your small business. You need qualified leads who then become loyal customers. So how can local SEO benefit your small business?
If your business serves a specific area and you need more leads, local SEO can help. Contact our team to learn how SEO can support your business goals.
Google uses three factors to determine how well you rank in local, or Map, search results — relevance, distance, and ranking. Optimizing your website and Google Business Profile for these three factors can help your ideal customers find you more easily:
Relevance refers to how well your business listing matches the searcher’s query. Improve relevance by choosing the correct business categories and filling out your profile completely, including hours, photos, location, etc. This information is also helpful for your customers, so keep everything as up-to-date as possible.
How far is your business from the searcher’s location or the location in their query? Businesses that are closer will rank higher. If you have a brick-and-mortar store, there’s not much you can do about this, but service-area businesses can add up to 20 service zip codes to their profile.
This is where your website comes in. Google bases prominence on how well known a business is. Google determines this by crawling for information about your business on the web. Backlinks, articles about you, guest posts, local keywords, and listings in directories can all help improve prominence.
We offer three different SEO packages focusing on both local and traditional SEO. Our team will work together to create an SEO strategy that makes sense for your business. For example, if our primary focus is local SEO, we might create a local landing page for your piece of content instead of a service page.
Here are a few of the local SEO services we provide:
