What Is Local SEO?

Local SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is a digital marketing strategy that is ideal for businesses looking to increase their online visibility, customer base, brand awareness and revenue through local search results.

Local SEO services focus on boosting your online presence through your Google My Business page, on-site optimisation, relevant web directories (citations) and by building social proof and trust through reviews on various platforms including social media channels and relevant review sites.

When someone searches for your shop, products or services in your local area, you need to appear around the top of the results. If not, it will be your competitors who they visit and spend their money with.

Why Local SEO?

Local SEO is a highly effective way to promote and market your business online.

You only have to do a search in Google for the benefits of local SEO to see how effective it can be and how much of a relatively untapped market it is.

When you think that 56% of local businesses have not claimed their Google My Business (GMB) listing, you realise how much of an advantage it can be, for you and your company if you do focus on local SEO.

Take a look at the handful of local SEO search stats we’ve provided. As you can see there are a ton of benefits for focusing some of your marketing effort on local SEO.  If you are currently not doing this, your company is seriously missing out.

Benefits of Local SEO

Here are some additional benefits that you can get through Local SEO.

Z

More Exposure

By optimising your GMB you cover more of the search results real estate. It usually includes a map of your location, recent reviews, posts, offers, images and your opening hours. Its these small things that can give you the edge over your competitors and generate more website visits, and in turn, more sales and revenue.

Z

Increased Website Traffic or Foot Fall

Once you start ranking well for local search, you will see an increase in website traffic, and/or footfall if you have a bricks and mortar store. Especially, if it’s something that you are currently not already doing or doing badly.

Z

Appear in Google’s 3-Pack

The 3-pack from Google is a part at the top of the search results, that displays the 3 top local listings that best match the users search and are at the optimum distance.

From the 3-pack, the searcher can see your business name, contact info, opening hours (if relevant) and there’s a link to click through to your website.

Most importantly, the 3-pack usually appears above the top organic search results, so the click through rate tends to be higher than even the top organic results.

Targeting local SEO the right way will help you get in the 3-pack.

Z

Get More Local Reviews

Customers love endorsing a local business if they receive a good service, and they are also more likely to leave a review. This helps in two ways: with local rankings; and social proof and acceptance. If you have a decent amount of positive reviews, current customers are more likely to recommend you, and new customers are more likely to shop with you.

Through Google My Business you also have the option to respond to your reviews, which when done, can help to push you up the rankings even further.

Local Ranking Factors

Google uses three main factors when determining the local search results. We target each of these to help your business thrive in the local results.

Relevance

Relevance is worked out by how close your product or service matches the users search. This is why it’s so important to do keyword research before starting your local SEO campaign, and then use the results to target the keywords that are the most relevant to your business and brand, and the ones that will also drive enough traffic to your website.

Distance

Distance has a big effect on the local results, as Google likes to direct people to businesses as close to them as possible, so the accuracy of your address across your website, Google My Business, and all of the other websites that list your details online is very important. Having Inaccurate NAP details (name, address, phone number) across the web can seriously affect your rankings in local results.

Prominence

Prominence is how well known your business is, and what others say and think about it. Google uses factors such as reviews on Google My Business, Social Media and other well know review sites. They also take into account links from other well-known directories and websites to your website. This essentially helps Google to score your business and grade how trustworthy you are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Does Google My Business Matter?

Google My Business is vital for all of your Local SEO efforts. Its the foundation for everything you do going forward, so making sure its set up and optimised properly is paramount. Its Google’s own product, so they put very high importance on how it’s set up and managed.

How Long Before I See Results?

There are many variables when it comes to ranking a website, be it in local or organic search. Some of these can include location, competition, on-site and off-site SEO factors, industry type and more. In most cases, we usually see positive results in 60-90 days but sometimes its sooner.

What’s The Difference Between Local SEO And Organic SEO?

The main difference between Organic and Local SEO is that Local search has a geographic component. If someone does a search for a product or service plus a location or adds in a search term like “near me”, the search results want to give them the most relevant results so they will display the local results. It’s worth noting that even if the searcher does not put a geographic element in the search query, they will usually still show the 3-pack and local results for relevant businesses local to the user.

What is a Citation?

A Citation is a listing created for your company on an online directory. Citations include your NAP (Name, address, phone number) and other details depending on the individual directory. They usually also include a link to your website, which can help drive traffic to your site, and also help with your rankings in local and organic search.
