First steps in local SEO

What to do first to appear in searches in your area.

Local SEO helps people searching nearby find you. You do not need a big budget to begin: start with the basics.

Complete your Google Business profile

Check the category, hours, services and photos, and keep that information up to date.

Use the same details everywhere

Name, address and phone number should match on your site and in any directories.

Create useful pages

Give each important service its own page. Mention the areas you work in only if you add real information.

Ask for reviews naturally

Ask real customers after a job well done, and reply to them. Never buy reviews.
