What is Local SEO?

Ever wonder how businesses land the top spots on Google for ‘speciality coffee near me’ or ‘best foot spa in Melbourne’? That’s Local SEO at work!

In Local SEO, we aim to attract users nearby who are actively searching for your services or products – in other words, people who are ready to make a purchase.

(Unlike regular SEO that caters to people at different stages of the buying journey)

This strategy involves managing your Google My Business (GMB) profile, securing listings in online directories and creating relatable content for customers in your area.

The result? More website visits and calls, and more customers coming through your doors!

Our Comprehensive Approach for Delivering Local SEO Services

Local keyword research and optimisation

We first identify high-value local keywords through comprehensive keyword research. We target keywords with the highest commercial intent considering the nature of your business and the location/s you service.

On-page optimisation for local search intent

Your site’s content, meta tags and headers are then updated and integrated with the keywords acquired from research. This directs nearby searchers to your website and improves your local rankings.

Google My Business profile optimisation and management

Oftentimes, top local search results feature Google Maps. To help you rank for it, we update your GMB profile with accurate NAP (name, address, phone) details, add a well-crafted business description and fill in relevant business photos.

Local citation building and management

Apart from GMB, we also submit your business information to local online directories and verify any existing listings. We ensure your business’s information remains consistent across these listings to improve your local search visibility.

Online review management & reputation building

We respond to customer feedback and encourage satisfied customers to leave positive reviews to help you build and maintain a trustworthy reputation. When your customers trust you, more will follow – and Google takes notice of that.

Competitive analysis of local competitors

We analyse your competitors’ keywords, backlink profile and content strategies. Doing so allows us to further refine your local SEO strategy. We’ll emulate what’s working and improve on any of their gaps to gain a competitive edge.

Local content creation and optimisation

We create content such as blog posts, guides and articles that are relevant to your area. This content will be optimised for local keywords and crafted to reflect any local events or trends that customers can relate to.

Regular reporting and tracking of progress

We track key metrics such as website traffic, search rankings and conversion rates and put them all in a comprehensive report that’s easy to understand. We’ll show you real data and insights to keep you updated on the results of our local SEO campaign.

SEO FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is local SEO?

Local SEO is the process of optimizing a business’s website with the aim of improving online search visibility for location-specific searches. As a result, it becomes easy for your local audience to find and access your website.

This process involves analyzing and selecting keywords that are relevant to your business and, at the same time, aligned with your local audience’s search queries. Apart from that, this involves optimizing your local business listings, such as GMB, and responding to your online customer’s reviews and ratings.

How do I know if I need local SEO in my business?

If you haven’t optimised your website for local SEO yet, here are some clues that would tell you that it’s time to consider doing it:

1. Your competitors are featured in the map pack. You are not.
2. You’re not ranking for local search terms. For example, if you’re running a coffee shop and your website is not at the top of the results page.
3. You’re website isn’t attracting the traffic and leads you were hoping for.
4. You want more customers to visit your business’s physical shop.
5. You want to be the first business (in your niche or industry) that people think of when they need something.

Why local SEO is important?

Local SEO is important because it’s an opportunity for your business to be able to connect with potential customers in your community.

Let’s look at it another way.

Have you ever Googled ‘coffee shops nearby’ and seen a map with three cafés on the left? If you own a coffee shop website and you’ve optimised it for local SEO, there’s a good chance your business could appear in one of those three spots.

So, you are missing out on a lot of chances to attract more potential customers if your website is not optimised for local SEO.
