Local SEO FAQs
What's the difference between local SEO & Regular SEO?
Local SEO and traditional SEO share many core principles but differ in their geographical focus and strategies. Local SEO concentrates on optimising a website’s visibility for local searches, using location-specific keywords such as “SEO Company in London” and also emphasising – what we call in the trade – “near me” searches. It prioritises Google Business Profile optimisation, local citations and customer reviews.
In contrast, traditional SEO targets broader audiences with more general keywords. It may involve fewer citations and less emphasis on Google Business page optimisation. Traditional SEO aims for a national or global reach and focuses on building overall online credibility and authority.
While both types of SEO share foundational elements, local SEO specialises in attracting nearby customers by narrowing its focus to a specific geographic area and leveraging location-specific tactics.
What are local SEO Keywords ?
Local SEO keywords differ from regular SEO keywords as they include location-specific terms to target local audiences. Local SEO keywords typically incorporate what we call ”location modifiers” like city names, postal codes, neighborhoods, or phrases such as “near me” or “in [city].” These keywords aim to connect businesses with users looking for products or services in their vicinity.
In contrast, regular SEO keywords are more general and may not contain location-specific qualifiers because they target a broader audience.
Why do I need Business Citations?
Citations in local SEO refer to mentions of your business’s name, address, phone number – or NAP as we call it in the trade – and sometimes additional information on various online platforms, such as business directories, review sites and social media profiles.
They are very important for local search rankings, acting like votes of confidence and building trust with both search engines and potential customers. To create citations, we need to ensure consistent and accurate business information across all platforms. Our work here includes submitting your details to directories and review sites. Positive reviews and ratings also contribute to your online reputation and local SEO performance, making citations a vital part of any local SEO strategy.
How important is my Google Business page for local SEO?
Your Google Business profile is vital for local SEO because of its role in managing essential business details, enhancing local search visibility and adapting to the rise of voice search.
As the dominant player in online search, Google’s tools, including the Google profile platform, can significantly impact your rankings. By optimising your Google Business listing, you signal to Google that your business is relevant and trustworthy for local users, increasing your visibility and attracting potential customers.
Better still, your Google Business profile is a free tool, making it a very cost-effective way to boost your local online presence and connect with customers actively seeking your products or services.
