The Simple Guide To Winning Local SEO
From a local business owner’s perspective
I started a local service business last year (mobile car detailing) and despite doing SEO for the past 5 years, I didn’t optimize my own business for months. In my defense, I started the business to get away from the computer screen.
I did the bare minimum — created a Google My Business profile and social media profiles. There were some obvious things that I should’ve done on Day 1 that would’ve improved my organic rankings.
After spending a couple of hours on the basics, I’m getting some traction.
Nothing crazy — but better than nothing.
I’m going to share the five things you can do to improve the search presence for a local business. The great news is that anyone can do these things — no SEO experience required (even though it’s helpful;)
