Local SEO is important and effective for the same reason that digital advertising is- it helps you to reach potential customers at the precise moment that they are searching for your services and are ready to purchase them.

Local search is a way for search engines to offer up more relevant results to individuals searching for specific services. This is done through a series of algorithms that take into consideration, among other things, the user’s location data. For example, if you’re in Albuquerque and search for “pizza,” the results will probably be a lot more useful if they are for nearby pizza places.
Local SEO is all about boosting your visibility on search engines. This is especially important for small businesses to employ because you’re only competing for position with other businesses in the same location, which is a much smaller field than if you were, say, operating on a national scale. Thus, if you are able to be found online, you are more likely to reach potential customers and get their business. In order to boost your site’s visibility, optimize the content of your webpage. This means sensibly keywording your descriptions, frequently adding fresh, relevant material, and incorporating engaging, high-quality graphic design, images, and videos.
In addition, make sure to claim your local Google business listing. This simple task can make big changes in your search engine ranking. Include updated information such as hours, and location, and make sure this information is consistent across any other listings you have placed online. Also, be sure to ask your patrons for reviews. They are often showcased in search engine results, and can bolster your ranking as well as your appeal.
