Frequently-asked questions
What is local SEO and how is it different from traditional SEO?
Local SEO focuses on a specific geographic service area by using location-based keywords, site architecture, supporting content, local citations and platforms like Google Business Profile to improve local visibility. Local SEO results are found in the Google Map Pack, and, for some industries, within the organic search results. In contrast, traditional SEO aims to rank with organic search results only. There is certainly some overlap, but there are definite strategic and tactical differences. Have questions about organic SEO? We’re here to help!
How long does it take to see results from local SEO?
It depends on your existing website and SEO infrastructure. For some customers, minor adjustments can provide immediate results. If more in-depth adjustments are required to get your website infrastructure and SEO into shape, it could take 3-6 months to see benefits.
What are local citations?
In SEO, “local citations” are online mentions of a business’s name, address, and phone number across various websites and directories. It’s important for citations to be plentiful and accurate.
Should I run Google Ads and use local SEO?
Yes. To get the most from your investment, businesses should run Google ads and focus on local SEO. Ideally, businesses should aim to show up in an ad at the top of the page results, the organic search listings below, and in Google’s Map Pack with their physical locations. With multiple instances of your business on the first page of search results, you’ll have a greater presence, increased credibility, and more opportunity to generate leads.
