Local SEO

What is Local SEO?

Local SEO is all about increasing search visibility for businesses that serve their communities face-to-face. These can be brick-and-mortar businesses with physical locations, like a food store, car repair or showroom, or service-area businesses that operate throughout a certain geographic location, like an electrician, double glazing or a cleaning company.

Local SEO includes everything from claiming a business listing and confirming it appears in a local search on Google. It also extends to managing online ratings and reviews, local-centric social media engagement, local information and beyond.
