Website Optimization for Local SEO
If you own a local business, showing up on page one of Google can be the difference between your business booming or just getting by. But many business owners are still focused on creating a pretty site with little thought given to SEO, content, and site functionality. It happens because the web design field still primarily sells design-driven sites. Your business needs more than another pretty site. It needs an optimized marketing platform built from the inside out to be SEO-friendly.
Customer Reviews and Outreach
Positive online reviews may be the most valuable of all ranking factors. Why? Genuine reviews contribute to SEO rankings, and they are the proof someone might be looking for to work with you. People searching for businesses like yours are increasingly relying on reviews to help them make a buying decision. If someone discovers you through search, good reviews will convince them to hire you.
Link Building and General Local Search Engine Optimization
Getting high-quality websites to link to your site is a primary factor in getting your content to rank well. But this is just one key strategy for your local marketing to thrive. There are a variety of elements, tools, and strategies to improve your local search engine presence.
