How Local SEO Works

How Local SEO Works

Local SEO is exactly what it sounds like: SEO on a smaller scale.

Just because it is geared toward a smaller subset of geographical customers does not mean it is less important or less time-intensive than a broader, more conventional SEO campaign.

Local SEO strategy in many respects boils down to optimising your existing online presence within Google apps and increasing your brand reach across relevant web directory listings.

As the majority of commerce migrates to the web, your company’s digital footprint is even more important than its physical storefront. Local SEO boosts your organisation’s online visibility so search queries and leads are continuously in touch with your locations, products, services and differentiators.

You can think of local SEO as being everywhere your local customers need you to be – all at once.

Google as Your Homepage

Google as Your Homepage

We take a methodical, data-backed approach to engineering SEO victories, and that often starts with optimising your brand across Google’s suite of interconnected applications.

Google automatically exports the business data from your Google My Business account to a number of other important online marketing channels, including:

  • Google Maps.
  • Local 3-packs.
  • Knowledge panels.
  • Google Posts.
  • SERP carousels.

That said, the proper transfer and population of this information – addresses, services, number of locations, etc. – is only possible if your Google My Business profile is appropriately claimed, set up and optimised.

With Brafton, every Google SERP effectively serves as the front door to your business. When searchers need you, they find you.

Local SEO Ranking Factors

Organic SEO ranking factors have an enormous impact on whether your company is visible online and how much traffic you can expect to generate.

While the core tenets of SEO apply in principle, local search follows subtly different practices because the ranking factors in play are weighted differently in the eyes of search engines.

Industry studies have shown that the top local SEO ranking factors that should influence your marketing campaigns are:
