How to dominate local SEO - tips
Find some tips and tricks for accelerating your local SEO…
Google My Business / Google Business Profile
A Google Business Profile is an important ranking factor for local SEO. It helps people find your business when searching for products and services in their local area. Optimising your profile through Google My Business with relevant keywords and SEO best practices can help to boost visibility and attract more customers.
Implement local SEO schema
Schema is a type of structured data or a format to help search engines understand web page content. Adding schema can help your web pages appear in local search results and snippets. Our technical team can help you to implement the right schema markup for your local business.
Local citations
Citations are an online reference to a business, such as a business directory and are a ranking factor for local SEO. By listing your business on trusted sites, you will improve legitimacy in the eyes of search engines and potential customers. We can advise on citation management and optimisation.
Monitor ratings and reviews
Actively attracting, monitoring and responding to customer reviews can authenticate your business for customers and search engines. Reviews can even help you get into the local pack which appears at the top of local intent search results and includes a map of local businesses.
Build local links
Local link building involves acquiring links from other quality local websites. This can improve awareness of your business within a community and boost local rankings.
Local SEO for multiple locations
Here are some tips for optimising for multiple locations:
Create separate landing pages for each location
Create separate Google My Business pages for each location
Ensure citations are consistent
Ask for reviews for each location
Ensure supporting content is unique and relevant to each location
Google map optimisation
To be discoverable on the local pack map view at the top of Google search results, you need to optimise your Google My Business profile:
Keep all business information up to date
Add photos
Use relevant keywords in descriptions
Encourage reviews
Remaining active on social media and getting high engagement can also help you to rank on Google maps.
