Why is it so important to improve local SEO?
If you have a business focused on a specific city you want to attract customers located in that city, right? Well, that’s exactly why it’s so important. It’s about standing out above the rest in the searches they do from the location of your business.
Let’s take an example: Juan has opened his coffee shop in San Diego. It’s his first time and he doesn’t have much idea about suppliers. So he decides to look for distributors to have everything he needs in his restaurant.
What do you think he will do?
Ask his neighbors about a vegetable wholesaler or take his Smartphone and search for “vegetable wholesaler in San Diego”. Unless Juan knows that his neighbors are in the vegetable wholesaler business, everyone would turn to Google.
And, what will he find in the first few Google results? That’s right. A section with Google Maps and locality websites. These results are displayed above the organic Google results. So you have to be clear about the importance of knowing how to do local SEO on Google.
