Local SEO

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by Forsh, Jul 18, 2016.

    The more I read these days, the more I am seeing two distinct things in what I read.

    1. Website load speeds as a huge factor due to mobile
    2. Local SEO

    I can honestly say, I don't think I am doing much with these. Does anyone know of a tool, even a blog, that shows real "Local SEO"

    I asked someone to help me out on this, he said sure. But, he messed up all 25 submissions, because he had variations in the addresses, and Google will see that as bad, not consistent. Does anyone have some recent and real information and guidance for this

    Local SEO is quite simple. It is all about spreading the news in local sites that my office address is "this". Just register in Google business pages, and find the sites in your local area (that includes those global or country-wide business directories which can spot your local geographical area). Do lots of this thing and your local SEO is done. Make sure your website also have the full address and contact numbers etc.

    Loading speed.... this is where you need an expert programmer to help you. Yes, it plays a good role.

    Local SEO can help your business stand out in the SERPs. Learn how to use local ranking factors like name, address and phone number (NAP) and customer reviews to rise to the top of organic results and even get featured in the carousel.

    Local SEO is honestly very similar to any other link building campaign. If you had to simplify it:

    1. On Page Optimisation of website
    2. Google My Business Page Set Up & Optimisation
    3. Schema
    4. Local Citations - there are various sites that offer this service - posting manually & consistently or you could use a tool like Whitespark
    5. Strong, relevant links
    6. Get customer reviews

    Yes, page loading speed is a ranking factor and its much important. You can check that in google's ranking factor list. Your website may load slowly for two reasons. First, your hosting server response is slow. Second, your webpage may load slowly because of unoptimized images and content. You can check your website loading speed from google page loading checker tool.

    Local SEO is little bit different than others. Here i have listed few things that is necessary for local SEO,
    1. Verified Google Business page.
    2. Submit your site or company info in local directories. Be careful when you submit your website info. All the information should be same in all directories. Like Name, address, phone number, office hour etc. Do as much listing as you can. But submit company info manually, don't use any third party tools like yext.
    3. Run the google plus page regularly. Google plus page has much impact on local SEO.
    4. Follow the Schema rules to write your company address in your website.
    5. Create some backlink only from relevant websites. Try to get the link from a website that is in your region.
    6. Reviews plays a good role. But be aware of fake reviews.
    7. Be active on social media.
    8. If you can run a youtube channel too nobody can stop you from getting your rank.

    Hope those will help you about your local SEO issue.

    Local SEO is a highly effective form of local online marketing. It allows local businesses to promote their services to local customers at exactly the time they’re looking for your type of business.

    GARBAGE.

    Our directory is not the fastest, Google says there is room for improvement,
    so according to you we shouldn't have it in top 100 in SERP but to make you stop
    spreading bullshit all over, try to Google for: strongest web directory and look for
    AMRAY on page #1 not only 1 but 2 links
