    Local SEO Strategy

    There are a few key areas that needs to be focused on and optimised appropriately. You need to consider Google and your local business profile, on-site optimisation and semantic markup, citations and reviews.

    Creating a local business listing on Google is a vital part of making local SEO and your business successful. If you don’t already have a Google My Business listing, that should be the first step in the development of a local search strategy. The more information you provide, the easier it will be for local searchers to find what they are looking for.

    Building your Local Brand

    A significant ranking factor for local businesses is their perceived prominence across the web. These signals come from business mentions, links, citations and attributions.

    As with conventional SEO, it is important to optimise your sites pages, in Local SEO, we optimise your site specifically for local intent. The aim of optimising your website for "Local" is to provide clear information to Google’s algorithms about where you are located, the services and products you offer in order for them to assign your website a position within the search results for a particular local search query.
