What is Local SEO?
Local SEO helps your business appear in search results when people nearby look for your products or services. When someone searches 'plumber near me' or 'best pizza in [city]', local SEO determines if your business shows up.
We focus on three key areas: your Google Business Profile, local citations (mentions of your business across the web), and customer reviews. These factors tell Google you are a legitimate, trusted local business.
Unlike regular SEO, local SEO targets customers in specific geographic areas. This is perfect for businesses with physical locations or those serving specific regions.
