Local SEO allows your brand to be visible when someone searches for a &#8220;flower shop in Miami&#8221; online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mind you, internet users who would use such search queries can either be:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for a flower shop nearby; or<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to buy a bouquet of flowers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This explains why you should optimize your business&#8217;s online presence for local SEO.

You can also rank for local search results and Google Search Knowledge Panel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But more than having a GMB account, you must ensure that your business profile is well-optimized. Here&#8217;s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verify your business ownership via GMB<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide updated business information<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upload high-quality images (i.e., business storefront)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encourage customers to leave a review<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Online_Business_Directories\"><\/span><strong>Use Online Business Directories<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides having a GMB profile, it can also help if you list your business on online directories. Some examples are YellowPages, MapQuest, Foursquare, and Yelp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For one, it can boost your local business&#8217;s online visibility. Moreso, if you do not have a business website yet. Secondly, it can help boost your local SEO efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key here, though, is accuracy and consistency. Meaning, you have to use the same business name, address, contact numbers, and emails across all your business directories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for your business description, it has to be unique in every directory. That way, search engines will not flag your content for duplicates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s important, though, is that you optimize your business description for a specific keyword. And that keyword should be location-specific as much as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10063 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindmingles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/local-SEO-packages-2.jpg\" alt=\"Local SEO packages\" width=\"626\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Customer_Reviews\"><\/span><strong>Get Customer Reviews<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want your local business to succeed, you should make it easy for your existing customers to leave positive reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing so allows you to achieve two things:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helps optimize your GMB profile<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It encourages other people to buy from you<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2017 BrightLocal Consumer Review Survey<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 85% of customers treat online reviews as personal recommendations. That said, it is vital to encourage your customers to leave a review.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can opt to ask your customers in person. You can also send a post-purchase email or social media DM.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optimize_for_Voice_Search\"><\/span><strong>Optimize for Voice Search<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Google, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">27% of the global population online<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses voice search. And 40% of those voice searches have local intent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using our previous example, someone would say, &#8220;OK, Google, where can I buy a bouquet of flowers near me?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your business is not optimized for voice search, you are less likely to appear on search results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key here is to consider how customers ask their questions. Meaning, you might need to adjust your content so you can optimize for long-tail keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_Mobile-Friendly\"><\/span><strong>Be Mobile-Friendly<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you haven&#8217;t noticed, the majority of the tips above revolve around mobile users. This explains why being mobile-friendly is much if you want to boost your local SEO efforts. Not to mention that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more than 50% of internet users worldwide<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are on mobile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can start by putting Accelerated Mobile Pages in place. Doing so can boost your website&#8217;s page load speed on mobile. It will also help if you are using mobile responsive web design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have an image-heavy website, make sure that you are using lazy loading or a content delivery network (CDN). That way, you are not hogging your site visitor&#8217;s mobile data bandwidth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Location_Pages\"><\/span><strong>Use Location Pages<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you serve a single local area or have many store branches, it is essential to have location pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be your About Us page, wherein you can declare that you serve a local community. Here&#8217;s an example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We are a flower shop based in Miami, Florida.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a couple of locations, then you can opt to list down all your branches. Still, make sure that you include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Address<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phone number<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store hours<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parking available (if applicable)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will also help if you have Google Maps attached to every location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing you should keep in mind is to share relevant information. If you own a flower shop, you can list the famous events and venues where you can render your services.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Generate_High-Quality_Backlinks\"><\/span><strong>Generate High-Quality Backlinks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Backlinks serve as the backbone of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PageRank<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is the foundation of Google&#8217;s ranking algorithm. Hence, there is no dining that backlinks are an essential ranking factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, you should make it a goal to generate quality backlinks for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, your GMB account and online business directories can help you generate backlinks. But their quality is questionable. Not to mention that these backlinks do not being in link equity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we say &#8220;high-quality backlinks,&#8221; we mean links from relevant and authoritative websites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For our flower shop example, it can be general knowledge websites that focus on flowers. You can also generate backlinks from travel websites with a dedicated page for local flora and fauna.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, you can write a guest post on housekeeping websites. The topic can be about how indoor plants and flowers can beautify a home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promote_Your_Business_Using_Local_SEO\"><\/span><strong>Promote Your Business Using Local SEO<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To recap, practising local SEO allows you to promote your business to local customers. That&#8217;s because most local customers have the intent to buy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for your local SEO campaign to be successful, you can do the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a Google My Business account<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use online business directories<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get customer reviews<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimize for voice search<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a mobile-friendly website<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use location pages<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generate high-quality backlinks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essential to stay on top of local SEO searches if you want your business to succeed. Following these tips can also help future-proof your entire digital marketing campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s because you already have a solid SEO foundation in case Google decides to update their algorithm.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you own a brick-and-mortar store and operate on a regional level, it would make send if you&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10065,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-marketing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
