Make Local SEO Efforts Accountable

Search Engine Optimization, better known as SEO, is more than just being found online. The digital marketing landscape is constantly changing and becoming more intuitive for online searches. In order to keep up, businesses have to find new techniques for engaging with their customer base. At Search Influence, we’ve made it our business to help companies like yours rank in local SEO searches and outperform your direct competitors.

What’s the Difference Between SEO and Local SEO?

The main difference between local SEO and traditional SEO is that local SEO has a geographical component. For example, an online company like Zappos wants to be found for someone searching for shoes no matter where they are, because they can offer anyone, anywhere, a great selection of shoes. But, a shoe store with 3 locations in a metro area wants to rank when someone is searching for shoes in their area—that’s local SEO. The goal of local SEO is to increase your search visibility in the area you truly serve. Local SEO is critical for single and multi-location businesses who want to gain more customers in specific locations. The difference in strategy for local SEO is that tactics must be focused around the targeted area in order to prove to Google and the other search engines that you are truly relevant for that location.

What Tactics are Critical for Local SEO Success?

Building trust with major search engines like Google is key to attracting leads online. When potential customers perform a search, whether on their mobile phone or desktop, our goal is to make it easy for them to find your business first. Some of the key elements to a successful local search strategy are:

INFORMATION ACCURACY

If your contact information, listings, prices, and other pertinent information is inconsistent online, your customers will be frustrated and have a bad experience. Also, Google uses the information to decide who to show in searches, which affects your Google visibility. Our tech experts will scour the internet and update your information across all platforms.

CONTENT
