Local SEO comes down to three things: a fully optimized Google Business Profile, consistent business information across the web, and pages that clearly name where you serve and what you do. Fix those three and most local businesses see measurable lift within 90 days.
1. Google Business Profile
- Primary category matches your main service
- All services and products listed
- 10+ photos, updated quarterly
- Business hours current, including holidays
- Q&A monitored and answered
- Review responses within 48 hours
2. Citations & consistency
- Name, address, phone identical across all directories
- Listed on the top 20 local directories
- Duplicate listings removed
3. On-page local signals
- Homepage names your city and main service
- Service pages for each core offering
- Location pages for each area you serve
- LocalBusiness schema markup
4. Mobile & speed
Most local searches happen on mobile, often on slow connections. If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, you're losing calls before they happen.
5. AI search visibility
More customers now ask AI engines for recommendations. To be cited: publish answer-first content, use structured data, and keep your business information consistent across the web.
