SEO is a broad term and for local small businesses, SEO is very different than SEO for the broader internet. In fact, local SEO is an entire industry of its own with completely different goals and tactics.
This page will help you understand how we work with local SEO to help your local small business rank better on the internet. We hope to answer the question on what we do for your local website SEO.
Local SEO For Your Local Business
Local SEO Is Very Different Than General SEO
We're experts in building local websites that are fully optimized for local ranking. That means we do on-site SEO with a local focus. That typically means we optimize your website extremely well for one industry and one city. That doesn't mean you'll only rank for that, though. If you have services you offer within your industry then those will rank also. Likewise, if you serve a main city and several surrounding cities, you likely will also rank for some of those cities also.
Local SEO is very different than general SEO to the point that local SEO is its own topic, not just a sub-topic of SEO. That's why we focus on building your affordable local small business website with local SEO in mind.
Take Your Website's Local SEO Further
We do a lot for your website as it is but there's always more that can be done even on the website itself. That's why we offer Enhanced Site SEO which takes your website's local SEO efforts further.
Local SEO Beyond Your Website
SEO (even Local SEO) happens beyond your website too. We do a lot for your business's Local SEO but there are some things you need to do also. SEO is an ongoing process so these tips will help you perfect Local SEO for your local small business.
