What Is Local SEO? 

Local SEO is a search engine optimization strategy that increases visibility for companies that need to do business face-to-face with consumers. It extends beyond claiming a business in Google Business Profile or Bing Places for Business, involving online reputation management, on-page NAP (name, address, and phone number), structured NAP citations on the web, business reviews on specialized sites or social media, and much more.

The following local SEO statistics reflect just how and why local search engine optimization is one of the most important digital marketing strategies today for brick-and-mortar organizations:

• 46% of all Google searches are local (HubSpot)
• 86% of consumers rely on the internet to find a local business (BrightLocal)
• 72% of consumers prefer search engines to find information on local merchants (BrightLocal)
• 76% of location searches result in a same-day store visit (Yext)
• 72% of consumers who perform a local search visited a store within  circa 5 miles or 8 kilometers (ClixMarketing)
• 51% of people want location-based coupons when searching (Elite SEM)
• 89% of people search for a local business on their smartphone at least once a week, and 58% search daily (HubSpot)
• 87% of smartphone owners use a search engine at least once a day (HubSpot)
• 78% of local mobile searches result in offline purchases (HubSpot)
• 2/3 of smartphone users are more likely to purchase from companies whose mobile sites or apps customize information to their location  (Google)

These stats serve to give you an idea why local SEO is essential for your digital marketing success.

Fundamentals for a Successful Local SEO Strategy

We tailor your local SEO strategy to suit your business needs. A correct Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) listing determines how your company appears on Google Search and Google Maps.

You can always manage the listing in-house, but the expertise of an SEO professional is crucial to implement it correctly, to maintain it, and to synchronize it with other web marketing  tactics and tools that put your store in front of the right shoppers.

• We’ll advise you in devising both on-page and off-page local digital marketing campaigns for your business.
• We’ll help you optimize your listings beyond Google Business Profile.
• We’ll create local content for you - adding a blog to your site with in-depth tips and guides about the sights, attractions, and businesses around your venue relevant to buyers and potential clients to build trust and relevance with clients and your community.
• We’ll help you encourage reviews to build a strong online reputation. Research by Deloitte shows that over 81% of consumers read reviews and check ratings before making a purchase. Good customer service pays off.
