Local SEO is the work that helps your business show up when nearby people search for what you do. You do not need to know the jargon to get the basics right.
The three places that matter most
- Your Google Business Profile. Complete and accurate. See our checklist.
- Your website. Clear page titles, your services and your town or service area in plain words, fast on phones.
- Your listings elsewhere. Directories and social profiles with the same name, phone and website.
What you can do this week
- Search your business name and fix any listing with old hours or a wrong phone number.
- Add your main services and town to your homepage headline and page titles.
- Ask three happy customers for an honest review.
- Add a few real photos to your Google Business Profile.
What to be wary of
Be careful with anyone who guarantees first-page rankings, sells reviews or wants to own your profile or domain. Good SEO is steady, honest work, and results vary by market.
