What Local SEO Actually Includes

A plain-English list of the work behind local SEO: Google Business Profile, listings, reviews, on-page fixes and content.

Local SEO is the work that helps nearby customers find you when they search for what you sell. It is not magic and it is not a secret. Here is what is in it.

1. Your Google Business Profile

The profile is the box with your hours, phone, photos and reviews. Keeping it complete, accurate and active is the single highest-value job in local SEO.

2. Consistent listings

Your name, address and phone should match everywhere: your site, Google, Bing, Apple Maps, Yelp and industry directories. Mismatches confuse search engines and customers.

3. Reviews

A steady flow of honest reviews, and a reply to each one, builds trust with people and with Google. We set up a simple way to ask every happy customer.

4. On-page basics

Each page needs a clear title, a description, headings that match what people search for, and fast load times on a phone.

5. Useful content

Pages and posts that answer real customer questions earn visits month after month.

That list is exactly what our SEO plans cover. Not sure where you stand? Ask for a free website audit.
