What is Local SEO

Many people are unfamiliar with the concept of Local SEO. But it’s simply an area-focused method of marketing your business. When someone does a Google (or Yahoo or Bing) search, the search engine’s algorithm will prioritise local businesses as more relevant. This makes sense, since most people prefer to work with and buy from people (especially when it comes to services) close to home. A solid Local SEO strategy developed by experts leverages the algorithm’s sensitivity to geographic location to enable your business to rank as a top result for your area. This gives you the advantage of being able to attain a higher ranking than even much bigger companies outside of your local area. Local SEO is a very effective way of promoting your business online. Why? Because you're able to offer your products and services to potential customers in your area, and so increase the likelihood of drawing a visitor to your physical location. But only the most experienced Local SEO agencies can help you achieve the top positions in local search results. Even if you think this doesn't apply to you, as you have an SEO strategy set up, you might want to reconsider your choices. Local SEO works differently from regular SEO, which means that to get the best outcomes you will have to have your page optimised for local search results.

How is Local SEO different?

Google's algorithms change and improve all the time. It’s goal is to deliver the most reliable results for the users (and remain the most used search engine), so Google keeps track of users' needs, adjusting and readjusting over time as those needs change. After analysing billions and billions of search results, Google found out that people are most often searching for instant solutions to their problems. And the best way to find an instant solution to a users' problem is to show them the best products and services in their geographical area. Think of it this way—there’s no use giving the user the name of a plumber that is hundreds of kilometres away when the person has a flooding problem. It only frustrates them and wastes their time (and leaves them without the information they desperately need!). So, Google takes into account the users' location when they use Google search, understanding that most of the time, the closer results are the better results. This will occur even if the searcher doesn’t include the phrase ‘near me’ in their searches. Google will still show them the most reliable results closest to them. Years ago when Local SEO emerged, it was limited to desktop devices. But over time mobile devices have surpassed desktops as the primary devices for casual browsing and search engine usage. But to start ranking high on local searches for mobile devices, you need to optimise your website for mobile users. That's why businesses today need to reconsider and recreate their Local SEO strategies. Using a professional SEO agency, like GWM Sydney, can help you optimise your website and rank high for Local SEO, and ensure you don’t miss out on local business in the future.

Benefits of Local SEO

Have you ever Googled something and noticed how the results seem tailor made for you? That is what Local SEO does. It runs on a more people-centric system, so the results are curated to suit your specific needs. And part of this curation is ensuring that the results, for the most part, are near to you. Nowadays, modern search engines revolve around ‘near me’ results. That’s what drives the personalisation of Google’s search results (and why you’ll get a different result on a search then say your partner will). To ensure that you take up the opportunity to rank well in your local area, you must have your website optimised for local searches. If you do, there’s no doubt you will see increased traffic, sales, profit and revenue. The main reason customers search locally is to find a product or service they need close to them. They don't have to waste money and time on deliveries from the other end of the world when all they need is right in their neighbourhood. If you’re in the area, you want to ensure that you’re at the top of the local search results, every time. By using Local SEO services, you're increasing the chances of ranking at the top of the local search results. And that means you’re growing your business.
