Local SEO is a hot topic for business owners. It helps businesses promote themselves online to local customers within a geographic area. The difference between local SEO and organic SEO is intent. Google can pick out search queries that have “local intent,” meaning the searcher wants search engine results with local companies.
In practice, local search engine marketing is the act of grooming your online profile so you are found for the local searches most relevant to your business.
Because local business searches often are based on geographic factors, organic SEO isn’t enough to rank, especially if your competitors are engaging in local SEO. It increases visibility for businesses interested in ranking for geographically-related searches.
In the search results, there are usually two distinct sections dominating the top half of the search results page: paid ads and the local pack (the map listings). About 86% of people use these map listings to find the location of a business. With the right local SEO strategy, you should be at the top of this local pack for local searches related to your business. Local searches are more people-centric than organic search results, meaning it’s more customized for each user. Nowadays, Google searches are all about local “near me” searches.
People want what they want when they want it.
Local search marketing is highly targeted and timely—people are searching for a business literally at the exact moment they need it. What are the MOST IMPORTANT aspects of local SEO?
Distance – How far is each potential search result from the location term used in a search? If a user doesn’t specify a location in their search, Google will calculate distance based on what’s known about their location.
Relevance – This refers to how well a local listing matches what someone is searching for. Adding complete and detailed business information across the web can help Google better understand your business and match your listing to relevant searches.
Prominence – Some places are more prominent in the offline world, and search results try to reflect this in local ranking. Prominence is also based on information that Google has about a business from across the web (like links, articles, and directories). Google review count and score are factored into local search ranking: more reviews and positive ratings will probably improve a business’s local ranking. Your position in web results is also a factor, so SEO best practices also apply to local search optimization.
