Frequently Asked Questions

What is Local SEO in a Nutshell?

The purpose of Local SEO is simple. It’s to improve your businesses online visibility in the local areas that your business operates in. Your target customers search Google using specific words, terms and questions in order to find the nearest and best option for the service you provide. They don’t search for your business because they’ve probably never heard of it.

Every time one of those searches happens a customer and their money is up for grabs. They are looking to pay for a service that provides a solution to their problem or satisfies a want that they have. They’re not scrolling through pages of Google Results comparing every option. They’re attention is focused on the top results because they know Google wants to provide them with best options. That’s where Local SEO comes in. Using tried and tested strategies will get you as close to the top as possible and into the buying conversation the customer is having in their mind as they view the top options (search results).   

Being right there front and centre with potential customers looking to buy will lead to a consistent flow of enquires and sales into your business. The longer this goes on the more you cement your position as the go-to business in your local area.

What's the Realities of Investing in Local SEO

Local SEO success is determined by a lot of factors. The only guarantee you need to remember about Local SEO is that there’s no guarantee of results. If you search agencies in the industry, you’ll have a hard time finding any concrete guarantees. No agency or individual doing SEO can guarantee you specific results like number 1. I would always be careful of the big promises used to make as sale by Local SEO agencies. They tell you exactly what you want to hear only to find out they were lying months down the line.

You as a client deserve a guarantee so that you know exactly what you’re getting in return for partnering with us. We never want working with us to feel like it’s a big risk.
