WHAT IS LOCAL SEO?

A successful local campaign is a key element for any small business looking to drive leads and sales from neighboring customers. Think of it like today’s phone book! While the calls you receive from newspaper ads and the yellow pages are dwindling (or non-existent), local SEO helps you generate more calls and online contact forms from your website.

Local SEO is different than organic search engine optimization in that the results shown are based on your current location.

For instance, someone in California most likely isn’t looking for a business in Springfield, MO, and vice versa. That’s where local SEO comes into play. Results are shown based on the location of where you are conducting your search.

THE LOCAL PACK MAP

When you conduct a search at your house, you’ll typically see a Map with 3 websites listed underneath. This is the Local Pack. If you later conducted the same search at work or a different location using a mobile device, the results would change.

Usually, beneath the 3 websites is a button that will show all other results marked on the map. That is Local SEO at work.

However, the Local Pack is not the only component of Local SEO. Even the organic results shown below the Map section are there and displayed as a result of good local SEO practices.

Map markers make all the difference in local search

LOCAL SEO VS. SEO

Local SEO is similar to other SEO strategies. When a potential customer performs a search online, Google scans through its business index to provide the optimal results for that person’s query. Local SEO is very important for service-based businesses such as attorneys, healthcare clinics, auto-repair shops, etc.

GOOGLE EXPECTS MORE FOR SEARCH RESULTS

EVERYBODY SEARCHES ONLINE

Did you know, 90% of consumers used the internet to find a local business in the last year? That means many customers are using the search engines on their laptops and phones to look for convenient, localized goods and services necessary for them to go about their daily lives.

ONLY THE TOP RESULTS GET THE SALE

And, of those consumers who conduct a search, 80% of them will only choose and engage with the first 3-5 results shown in a search. So, this simply means if you’re not listed in the top 3-4, you have little chance to win the sale over competitors listed above you.

LOCAL PEOPLE WANT LOCAL BUSINESSES

46% of all Google searches are looking for local information. People aren’t always using the internet to go on social media or visit the websites of global companies. They are looking for people and businesses nearby.

THE EVOLUTION OF LOCAL SEO

In the past, if you entered a search “keyword” you’d get results from all over the country (or the world). The only way you could “filter” the results to a business close to you was to also enter the city or town you lived in. Over time, Google and other browsers realized the vast majority of these searchers preferred to see results that were closer to them, without having to enter their current geographical location. Thus, local SEO was born.

IMPORTANCE TO MOBILE DEVICES

The growth of mobile internet access during the last two decades has allowed local SEO to play a larger role in business exposure. When you search on Google with your iPhone or local device, Google will ask you for permission to use your location data. This is to provide you with results near where you physically are.

For example, if you’re traveling or vacationing in another city and searched for “Italian Food Near Me” on your mobile device, you probably mean where you’re physically at, and not where your desktop PC is located back at home. If you’ve granted Google permission to use your location, the results you get will be what is close by.
