Local SEO Services for Small Businesses

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.

Benefits of Local SEO for Small Businesses

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?

  • Ranking on Google builds trust and credibility with potential customers, making them more likely to buy from you.
  • 98% of consumers read online reviews before visiting a local business, according to a 2023 Bright Local survey. Local SEO can help ensure that your reviews are prominently displayed.
  • An optimized Google Business Profile provides everything a customer needs to know to purchase from you, including contact information and business hours.
  • Local SEO can help you show up in Maps even when someone is searching for a competitor.

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.

How Does Local SEO Work?

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

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.

distance

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.

prominence

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.
