Local SEO For Growing Local Businesses

As a business owner, there are fundamentals you'll want to have in place before expecting any kind of online success.

These core fundamentals are your lifeblood to ranking on Google, or receiving any kind of brand recognition.

Think of your website as your office, except, this is your office in which the whole world can see and see it at any time of the day. They can visit your website, look at your social media business page, and examine your business name's information like hours of operation, where you are located, when you opened up for business, and even how long you've been in business. They can do all of this while you sleep. You don't have to have your lights on or your door unlocked because, on the web, your business is always open.

The crazy thing is that these online visitors can find you not just on your website, but on other popular places like Yelp, Yahoo, Bing, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and the list goes on by the hundreds. How do you think your business looks out there? Does it look like it can be trusted? Is your brand consistent? How about your address or your phone number? All of this MUST be consistent so that people can trust you.

Then there's Google, a search engine that crawls your website on a daily basis to make sure that your business is legitimate. It looks for things like domain identity, what your business is about, who you are, where your business is located, and what community your business is a part of. It also likes to look for things on your website that it wants to see. Like, if you are a legitimate business that Google can trust to put you on their first page, it expects your website, and the other websites on the world wide web to have specific things in order. For example Your address, your phone number, your business name, and branding.

There's are also the OVERWHELMING technical list of things like Schema, Sitemaps, Rankbrain, and other algorithm-friendly optimizations. proper website architecture, and more. In fact, there are over 200 factors that the Google bot scans for and checks to see if it can trust your website. The more you have checked off that list means the better standing you are with Google to trust your business.

Now, we'd normally not be concerned with how, or why a search engine bot values our website.

But the fact is is that Google is the most coveted traffic referrer to this day. Google actually gets 3.5 billion searches (yes, people typing in keyword queries) EVERY SINGLE DAY! Now that is a lot of people looking for something, looking for services, products, information. It's a lot of people that are potentially looking for your client’s website! So, of course, you want to look good for the people and Google because we know that it brings us sales!!! If we are on the top of the first page of Google when someone types and searches for a service we offer, chances are, they will click on our site. The more clicks, the more leads, the more leads, the more sales, the more sales, the more we can sleep at night knowing we are doing well.
