What is Local SEO?
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Local SEO (local search engine
optimization) is a series of actions and
strategies designed to improve your
visibility on Google and other search
engines when people close to your
physical location perform a search or
when a search includes a specific
location.

What is often considered as
just Local SEO, but isn’t?
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Some things aren’t
just for small, local
businesses
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Trust-based SEO uses
generically local tactics for
national sites to create...

First off...
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Everyone needs Google My Business
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
GMB Service Areas
Selecting large
towns/cities or even
just ‘UK’ - an easy
signal to reinforce
area coverage
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
National brand,
reinforcing national
services
GMB Service Areas
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Multiple Offices
Use GMB profiles to cover
multiple areas with
offices.
Also allows for service-
specific optimisation.
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Multiple Offices
Offices across the UK
with individual
profiles to reinforce
national services
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Product/Service
Consistency
Consistency across
services and products
in GMB reinforces
reputation, authority
and transparency
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Product/Service
Consistency
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Surprise Local SERPs
Lots of SERPs are
switching between
local and non-local -
GMB profiles help
protect your rankings
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Surprise Local SERPs
Unexpected
local SERPs are
covered
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Brand Protection
If nothing else, use
GMB to protect your
brand!
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Brand Protection
Generic/common
brand name, or one
that’s easy to
misspell, covered by
GMB (and probably
ppc)
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Reviews & testimonials
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Builds trust for
customers AND Google
Both Google and your
customers love reviews,
so if you’re not using
them - WHY NOT?!
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Reviews can make potential
customers 15% more likely to
buy when written by a verified
buyer
https://review42.com/resources/online-reviews-statistics/
#brightonseo
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Google loves them
We know that reviews
are considered a
‘ranking factor’ and
have been seen in the
past to have direct
impact on visibility.
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
https://review42.com/resources/online-reviews-statistics/
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone

Location pages
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
This one isn’t for
everyone...
Location pages can
easily be overused,
but they can also be
great for visibility and
UX
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Nationwide Visibility
Further consistency of
nationwide/ large
areas of coverage,
especially if there’s
multiple
offices/locations
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Surprise Local SERPs
As we’ve seen before -
some SERPs can’t
decide if they’re local
or not. Location pages
can help protect you
here too.
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
Citations and local links
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
We love links
Links from reputable
business directories
and local press are
valuable for everyone
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo
We love links
Local links don’t
have to be about
the area
@Femkepants #localforeveryone
Service/Product
consistency
Citations and
business directories
back up your
services claims,
especially for trade.
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo
Industry-specific
citations help boost
authority
@Femkepants #localforeveryone
Trust building
Building links with
reputable trades and
business directories
can benefit customer
trust as well as
Google’s trust in your
business.
#brightonseo @Femkepants #localforeveryone
#brightonseo
Treat Google like a
potential customer
to maximise trust
building
