People In Your Area Are Searching For What Your Company Offers—Are You Showing Up?

“Near me” searches have gained tremendous popularity over the past few years, with more than 1.5 billion such searches happening every month. With that much volume, it’s clear that local SEO needs to be a priority—but what exactly is local SEO, and how can you make sure you’re doing it right?

Let's Talk

Local SEO: The Basics

The main goal of a professional local search engine optimization strategy is to provide consistent and accurate information about your business in online directories so that people in your local area can find you easily.

If you’ve ever searched online for a local business, you’ve seen this service in action. Let’s say you’re a resident of the Birmingham area and you type in “bicycle shop near me.” The results that come up are the bicycle shops located closest to you, but that isn’t the only determining factor in which local businesses rank highest for your search.

Ranking Factors For Local Search Engine Optimization

The level of trust your business earns from search engines depends on a variety of factors, including the following:

  • Your Google Business Profile listing
  • On-page optimization (presence of local data on your website)
  • Backlinks (i.e. links to your site from other reputable sites)
  • Consistent information across online directories
  • Accurate name, address, phone numbers, etc.
  • Relevant “categories”
  • Proximity to city center
  • Online reviews

As you can see, there’s a lot involved in creating a strong local SEO strategy—and in order to be as effective as possible, your local SEO tactics need to be part of a larger digital marketing strategy, including optimized website design.

Why Local SEO Matters For Your Business

Local search engine optimization helps your business do two things:

1) Show up higher in search engine results, and

2) Control how your business appears online.

If you don’t claim your online business listings, then the data will be filled out for you using whatever existing information the search engines can find.

The result of this patchwork of existing information is often incorrect details that frustrate customers and result in lost business. The last thing you want is the wrong address, phone number, hours, or business image to be shown to your target market when they’re looking for what you offer—they may go to the wrong location or get the wrong impression about your business based on the photos that show up.

If someone never makes it to your actual website (as many searchers don’t), then that first impression may be the only shot you get.
