Local SEO solutions can bring quick results with minimal financial and time costs, and targeting local audiences becomes a competitive advantage.

    E-commerce

    Local SEO services allow online stores to become more visible and get more high-quality leads, saving on shipping, and their potential customers can easily and quickly find a physical store, showroom or warehouse, customer support service, etc.

    Medical and veterinary services

    When someone’s looking for a doctor, clinic, or pharmacy, they always focus on the “near me” search results in order to get there as quickly and conveniently as possible. Local SEO brings new opportunities for healthcare businesses: publishing valuable content on platforms or blogs draws customers’ attention, increases brand awareness and credibility, improves search rankings, etc.

    Entertainment venues

    Cinemas, clubs, bars, and other entertainment venues benefit from local search engine optimization most as they serve a geographically targeted market.
    Effective campaigns developed by a local SEO company allows you to get more exposure than your market rivals have and potentially generate more feedback from local customers.

    Maintenance professionals

    Main problems that local SEO services solve

    • 1

      Online visibility

      Just imagine: 97% of people that are your potential customers and search for the businesses nearby, more than 90% of them will check only the 1st search results page. A good local search marketing company can help you to get higher rankings and increase the visibility of your business (both in local maps and organic search results).

    • 2

      Lack of organic traffic

      You should never ignore Google Maps as a prospective traffic source. The efforts that you put into getting into the Google Local Pack will also help improve your local rankings. In addition, by showing highly relevant local results that are based on proximity and intent, local SEO helps you to weed out those customers who are not really going to contact you.

    • 3

      Severe competition between local businesses

      Companies that offer professional SEO services to local businesses really can help them bypass the competition, and to enter a market with less competition and better brand differentiation. Today, less than half of modern businesses are using local SEO services. Think of such a great opportunity to excel and show up in local search, specific business directories, maps, and SM.

    • 4

      Attracting sales from local visitors

      Professional local search marketing services can help you boost traffic, increase leads, and generate more sales from “locals”. WordStream claims that 72% of visitors from local search tend to contact businesses within 5 miles. It turns out that they have already made their decision when typing in their search query, and you just need to show yourself up in the local search results!

    • 5

      Giving the most demanded information

      Such information as opening hours, address, telephone, location map, prices, list of services, is extremely important for your customers. You can add this data in local online business directories (such as Yelp, Foursquare, Citysearch, etc.) and show up on the very first page of local search results, and one of two potential customers will definitely turn into a buyer.

    • 6

      Building connection and reputation

      Marketers claim that positive reviews increase the likelihood that 91% of consumers will contact a particular company. Authentic, honest customer reviews help to demonstrate the high quality of your services and “tell” search engines that your website is a trustworthy and helpful web resource. It improves your image, increases trust, and helps to improve your SEO rank even higher.

    How do we work?

    • Conduct deep competitors research

      The specialists of our local SEO agency start by identifying your competitors, analyzing their strategy, and citation level (presence in the specific online business directories). This helps you to identify successful steps for similar businesses without reinventing the wheel and integrate the most successful strategies into your project based on its unique characteristics. A detailed competition analysis gives a powerful insight into the market, allowing us to test the most promising ideas & succeed fast.

    • Provide citation audit and citation building

      At this stage, we audit the citation of your business in the necessary directories: Yelp, Tripadvisor, Manta, Local.Yahoo, as well as other sources that are important specifically for the industry of your business. Then, we register your company in the required catalogs (citation building). If necessary, we update the existing company info in the current catalogs. Thus, we increase the visibility of your business, boost local SEO, discover more customer touchpoints, and use effective sources of mentions and backlinks to the fullest.

    • Prepare informative photos and videos about business

      Now, it's time to add some thematic photos of your business and your achievements with up-to-date EXIF data to your GMB account: address, keywords, name of your company, etc. According to a study by Socialmediatoday, 88% of marketing gurus use visuals in more than half of the articles they publish, while 56% of them use visuals always and everywhere.

    • On-page and outer local SEO

      At this stage, we carry out all the necessary work on internal and external SEO: semantic content optimization, setting up schema.org (semantic markup), text optimization, checking for technical errors, missed meta tags, etc. Then, we purchase local links (local link building is an efficient way to get a higher rank in search). This step helps to achieve better search engine rankings and boost traffic to your website.

    • Google My Business setting and optimization

      Now, we proceed to setting up your GMB account, Google maps, update the current information, indicate the current site categories in the GMB account, etc. Thus, your business gets a significant advantage in local SEO, additional traffic to the site, extra contacts with the target audience, while your brand awareness grows.

    • Encourage writing reviews

      Here, we conduct a number of incentive activities aimed at motivating customers to leave reviews, and we implement this practice in our regular promotion strategy (for example, we add the necessary information to the website, or make reminders on social networks). Remember that reviews help you rise above your competitors, improve CTR (Click-Through-Rate), and make users more loyal to your brand.

    • Tracking and monitoring

      Finally, we track the effectiveness of local SEO promotion, update the information, monitor the reactions of your competitors, reviews, etc. Tracking is a critical step that shows you which strategies work best. We do not focus only on increasing the amount of traffic since the most important thing is how many leads (conversions) you get — and where do they come from!
