If your customers are nearby, local SEO is the highest-return marketing channel you can invest in. Here's the checklist we run for every local business.
1. Claim and complete your Google Business Profile
Choose accurate categories, add services, opening hours, photos and a keyword-rich description. Post updates regularly — activity signals relevance.
2. Keep your NAP consistent
Your business Name, Address and Phone number should be identical across your website, directories and social profiles.
3. Build location pages
If you serve multiple areas, create a genuinely useful page for each, with local details, testimonials and directions.
4. Earn reviews — and reply to them
Ask happy customers for reviews and respond to every one. Review volume, recency and replies all influence local rankings.
5. Add LocalBusiness structured data
Schema markup helps search engines understand who you are, where you are and what you offer.
