Local SEO Agency for Local Businesses
GETTING FOUND ONLINE
‘I’m a local business, so there’s no need to invest in SEO and online advertising’
Believe it or not, this is something I read constantly when it comes to local SEO Agency. Sadly, the statement couldn’t be more wrong. Allow me to explain.
What’s Local SEO?
First and foremost, we need to know what local SEO is and how it works. As the name suggests, local SEO is all about optimising your online presence for the local market. Even if you don’t sell products online or want to attract interest from all over the country, you can still promote your service to those who are looking for it.
Today, just under 80% of local mobile searches lead to a purchase. With mobile devices as common as they are today, we constantly search for nearby restaurants, hair salons, bakeries, supermarkets, dog walkers, and other services. With local SEO, the aim is to get YOUR local business to show when people in the community search for a service of your type.
If you haven’t updated your online profile, your competitors will show instead (and you lose out on custom!).
Interesting Statistics
Just in case you needed any more convincing, here are some statistics that show the importance of local SEO Agency!
- Of all those who conduct a local search, around 72% will visit a store within five miles.
- From 2017 to now, the growth of ‘nearby’ and ‘near me’ searches have expanded by a whopping 900%.
- Nearly 70% of people have left a review for a local business.
- 50 million businesses now use the Facebook Business Pages platform.
- Nearly three in ten local mobile searches lead to in-store purchases on the same day.
Local SEO works, and I would love to help you get started!
Is Local SEO for Me?
If you’re a small business and you want to boost your exposure to the area, then local SEO Agency is absolutely for you. As long as your target market is likely to search for a service of your type online, you’ll benefit.
As I’ve said before, local SEO is no different to placing an ad in the newspaper or putting a leaflet through the door. You’re still trying to put your name in front of people who need it, but the location of this advertising has changed. Rather than looking for leaflets or in newspapers, consumers have moved online…so it’s time you did too.
How Does it Work?
We optimise your online profile/presence so that those who are searching for a business like yours find your service. For example, for a hair salon, we will;
- Optimise your content for important keywords
- Optimise for voice searches
- Consider your target market and demographic
- Update your Google My Business
- Utilise location targeting on various channels
- Ensure your platform is optimised for mobile
- Generate leads and sales in your community
Is Local SEO Effective?
These days, having a website alone isn’t enough. Instead, we need to get your name on social media, Google AdWords, Google My Business, and more. The more we’re able to build your profile, the more likely you are to show when people search online.
At the moment, when consumers search for a business like yours, they have to fight through lots of noise just to see your name. With local SEO, our aim will be to make it EASIER for consumers to find you. Over the years, I’ve stayed up to date with Google algorithms and how it all works. Allow me to put this knowledge to good use and get your business the attention it deserves.
