Local SEO is hugely important for local businesses.
Here’s why:
A recent study determined that 46% of all searches done on the internet have a local intent. That’s almost half of all online searches!
What’s more is that 28% of local searches lead to sales.
So for local businesses that are optimizing for local search, they are likely seeing a great deal more traffic and exposure than those that don’t.
Local SEO has a host of other benefits that can help drive your business growth, including:
Investing in local SEO means investing in the growth of your business, and with so many benefits to drive business growth, it’s hard to ignore the importance of search engine optimization on a local level.
Local SEO works a lot like normal SEO except that it uses a slightly different set of factors to determine rankings.
More specifically, Google takes into account:
While it can seem overwhelming, thankfully, a lot of the same principles of regular organic SEO apply, such as having a fast and mobile friendly website, ensuring website pages are properly optimized for the right keywords, and that the website can be easily crawled by Google.
Our SEO packages contain an array of services designed to augment any businesses search rankings and search visibility. There are no contracts and service goes month to month.

Instead, we make sure to understand the business’s vision and their unique qualities in order to craft a customized SEO plan designed to generate results.

We are not a cookie-cutter marketing agency. Rather, we get to know you and what’s most important for your business so that we can deliver customized solutions that make a difference.

The amount of time it takes to see results can vary from industry to industry based on the degree and density of the competition but in general, we’re confident we can produce tangible results within 3-6 months.
Afterwards, with continued effort, there is a compounding effect that takes over that can produce exponentially greater results.
The short answer is ‘Yes’, but it may take longer to see results and will require time and effort to learn the ins and outs of local SEO and SEO in general. If you have the time and impetus to do it, you should give it a try! Otherwise, it might make more sense to hire an SEO company with years of experience to handle it for you.
Local SEO will benefit any business that serves a local population, whether in-person or virtually, and wants to be found online in the geographic area that they operate.
SEO and digital marketing are two sides of the same coin – but they are not the same.
SEO takes a bottom-up approach, working to increase rankings organically, while paid ads take a top-down approach, wherein you pay for exposure at the top of page one.
The main difference between Local SEO and Paid Ads is their staying power: where paid ads disappear as soon as you stop paying for them, SEO remains months or years after being worked on.
Paid ads are ethereal. SEO is long-lasting.
While we’re confident that we can improve your rankings and visibility in search, any company that guarantees results should be viewed with skepticism.
We craft a custom SEO strategy tailored to your business and follow White-hat SEO best practices. All of our work is tracked and made available to you in a monthly report so you can see the progress being made for yourself.
