Any business with a physical store should be using Local SEO in their marketing strategy.

The focus of any website to be found in search engines. If people are searching for in your local area for services and products you provide, then you need to put your focus into appearing locally too. Especially if your website is simply a placeholder for a brick and mortar business.

What We Do

Main Factors We Look At

Website Structure

One of the best ways to encourage customers to browse your website is by structuring it to allow for optimal user experience. This involves taking a look at designing your user interface for ease of navigation – encouraging engagement and conversions.

Internal Links

Like most of the points on this list, internal linking both benefits your rankings and your website experience.

By including links on higher performing pages to lower performing pages, you can help to distribute ranking ability throughout your site. Similarly, buy pointing users to similar relevant pages, you can increase the time spent on the site and decrease bounce rate.

Local Schema

Local Schema is a type of structured data code that is placed on your site, which helps search engines, such as google, to identify your business when indexing your site. This code can include a variety of different factors such as contact information, business address, opening hours and price range.

It is important to include business schema markup code on your site, as this can be a strong factor when trying to rank your business locally within the search results.

Local Citations

Simply put, local citations are any record of your business details that are held on another site, such as a directory, as well as social media platforms. Local citations use reference to your business NAP (Name, Address & Phone Number), and have the potential to improve the way your site appears within the local search results.

It is also important to make sure the information held on these listings are kept consistent to make sure they can all be linked back to your site, to improve your overall local presence. Having these local citations can also help to accurately rank your business within google maps.

Meta Tagging

It’s important that you don’t overlook your Meta description – it’s the first thing users see when your site comes up in search results.

An effective Meta title both contributes a large deal to your page’s ability for ranking for a target keyword, it also has the chance to make a great first impression on searchers. If it’s written really well, then your CTR will also be higher – boosting your rankings for certain key terms.

If you’re using images on your page, then it’s recommended that you use image alt tags to further optimise your content. Not only does Google appreciate the additional accessibility, a well optimised alt tag will give your image a chance of appearing in image search for relevant keywords.

Keywords

It’s important to carry out the proper keyword research in order to ensure that you’re targeting keywords that are profitable and not too competitive for your business.

However, you may be surprised to hear that it’s not wise to go overboard with the amount of keywords that you include in your website content. This is called ‘over optimisation’ and Google considers it as an unnatural attempt at manipulating search results.

Along with relevancy, we also look at keyword density in order to ensure that you’re not over-stuffing and that your content is still readable.

Content

When writing content, you should be aiming for text that is equally keyword optimised, relevant, and well written in order to ensure a positive experience for potential customers.

Company blogs are also important in maintaining a freshness score. Whilst you may not feel like you always have points of worth to share, there is SEO value to be had in regularly updated, engaging content.

As part of our content audit, we also look at your duplicate content score, which can have an impact on your rankings. Google rarely shows multiple versions of the same content and is forced to choose which version is the most relevant result to display. This dilutes the visibility of both duplicates and creates keyword cannibalisation issues.

Stay On Top

Keep ahead of the competition

In the past, local SEO has been about helping your site rank for search terms that include local modifiers. For example, you might have found us through typing in ‘SEO Company London’.

These days, savvy SEO’s know that that local SEO doesn’t necessarily mean just improving your rankings for these local terms, but also optimising for user preferences and settings – or personalisation. Gone is a time when searchers had to type in their location in order to see local results. Simply typing in terms such as ‘bakery’ will now bring up a SERP almost exclusively made up of map listings and organic results for bakeries near you.

This means that local businesses have to get smart to stay on top.
