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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I approached Geoff on a recommendation normally I'm quite sceptical when using a company I've not heard of but I'm so happy I did!! His work ethics and honesty was a breath of fresh air. Especially after having a bad experience with another company. I cannot praise him enough! And I will certainly use his services again if needed. 😊😊
