What is Local SEO?

Local SEO is the practice of making sure your business ranks locally for your products and services. Creating consistent signals of your businesses name, address, and phone number from your business website, to data aggregators, and citations on sites like Yelp, Superpages, Foursquare, Facebook and Bing Places increases your opportunity to rank on the first page of Google for local searches. Once those ranking signals are in place, it makes ranking your business in Google Maps, using services like Google My Business, much easier.

Local SEO Opportunities

72% of consumers, who search for local businesses, end up visiting stores within five miles and 46% of all Google searches are local. The numbers speak for themselves, showing how crucial it is to have a local SEO strategy for your business.
