How Local Search Can Grow Your Business

Local SEO not only enhances your digital footprint, but also allows you to dominate the local market and turn your business into a household name in your community.

Reach the Right Audience

Local SEO helps you zero in on customers in a particular geographic area on Google and Bing Maps. Boosting your visibility means more nearby customers can easily discover your business right when they need your products or services.

Bring Leads More Than Ever

If your business is positioned at the top of local search results, it's only a matter of time before you attract more customers to your physical location and your website. More leads eventually turn into more sales.

Reduce Marketing Costs

Local SEO requires significant time and effort initially. But once your business climbs the top of local search results, it will bring you leads with minimal upkeep. This is different from paid ads, where you need to keep spending money to attract traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions About Local SEO

Interested in Local SEO services but not quite ready to dive in? No worries! Take a look at these frequently asked questions to help guide your decision-making process.

How is the position in local search results determined?

Your website's position in local search is affected by the accuracy and consistency of business information (name, address, phone number) across various online platforms. Google My Business optimization is also vital, as it influences how a business appears in Google Maps and local packs. Reviews and ratings play a significant role, as they provide social proof and user engagement signals.

Additionally, keywords in the website content, metadata, and online postings ensure relevance to local search queries. The proximity of the business to the searcher, quality and relevance of backlinks, and mobile-friendliness also influence local SEO rankings.

How soon can we see the results of Local SEO?

For a new business or a website just starting with Local SEO, it might take 3 to 6 months to see progress. This is because building domain authority, acquiring quality local backlinks, and establishing a strong presence on Google My Business and other business directories takes time.

For an established business with some existing online presence, noticeable improvements might be seen sooner, potentially within a month or two. This is because tweaking and optimizing existing content and listings can yield quicker changes in rankings.

How much do local SEO services cost?

The cost of Local SEO services varies based on how many locations you have and  the scope of work. In general, clients spend anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 monthly on Local SEO. For a more precise estimate tailored to your needs, it's best to contact us for a customized quote.

Is Local SEO really worth it?

Absolutely. Paid ads are like renting a prime spot at the top of search results, which costs you every time. The cost-per-click of an ad can also be expensive depending on the industry.

In contrast, investing in Local SEO will pay off indefinitely and at almost zero additional costs. Customers will pour in once your business secures a good position in local search.

Can you do something with the fake reviews on my listing?

We first have to figure out whether the review is genuinely fake or if it's just a negative comment about your business.

If the review is genuine, there's not much you can do to get it removed. The best approach is to engage with the reviewer and thank them for their feedback, unless it's offensive. Remember, constructive criticism can be valuable for improving your business. Offer a sincere apology for whatever issue they experienced, be it poor service or a misunderstanding.

You might even want to rectify the situation for the customer. For instance, if you own a hotel and customers complain about a rude staff, train your personnel to improve their service. You might also offer customers a complimentary meal to convince them to come back. This shows other people reading the review that you are dedicated to excellent customer service and might even change the original reviewer’s mind, leading them to update their review.

However, if the review is indeed fake, we can flag it as inappropriate via your Google My Business dashboard. Google will then contact you for an explanation and reasons why you believe the review is fraudulent. If your argument is convincing, Google might remove the review, but this process can take some time.
