Why is Local SEO important?
Gone are the days of marketing your business simply using phone books and brochures. To promote your business today it is essential to have an internet presence, and an internet presence that can be easily found — that’s where local SEO comes in. SEO uses crucial techniques to be sure your business can be found throughout the web.
Our SEO services include:
- Technical Advice: We will review your site’s current page load speed, Alt tags, analytics and meta data to be sure your site is performing to its best technical potential.
- Content Development: The content, or page text, throughout your website is important to both your search engine rankings and turning your site visitors to paying customers. We will write new relevant and engaging content or improve the existing content already in place on your website.
- Facebook Setup & Posts: Facebook can be an important tool to generate awareness of your business and get more customers. If you don’t have time or the inclination, we will set up a business Facebook account and/or create original and relevant monthly posts for you.
- Google Compliant Titles and Meta Tags: We will create unique titles and meta tags for each page of your website to help Google properly index your site in the search results and to help entice potential customers to click through to your website.
- Google Business Profile Setup: A Google Business Profile is a must-use free tool which gives you more exposure in local Google and Google Map searches. We can set up a complete Google Business Profile that will best showcase your business and increase visitors to your site. You’ll have full access to this listing, where you can add special offers and informational posts shown to potential customers who find you in Google Search results.
- Google Search Console Setup: Google Search Console is a free tool that helps measure your website’s performance and flags any issues Google might be finding that prevent it from indexing your site properly. You’ll have access to your Search Console account, though it’s typically used more by website developers and SEO professionals. Your WordPress sitemap — which helps Google find and index all of your web pages — would be submitted into your Google Search Console account.
- Google Analytics Setup and Website Traffic Monitoring: Google Analytics (GA) is a free and powerful tool that lets you monitor the traffic coming into your website — where it’s coming from, your visitors’ average age, how long they stay, what pages they visit, what part of the country they’re in, and more. Once setup is complete, you’ll get a personal GA username and password so you can view traffic information yourself, or we offer a la carte or on-going monthly monitoring services.
- Schema Markup: A schema markup is a special type of HTML code you can add to your WordPress website to tell search engines more about your content — for example, that a certain page explains your rates, your contact info, or a specific product. Google uses this to display richer search results, and Google Maps uses it to show directions to your business, your phone number, hours of operation, and more.
