Local Search Optimization
If your website is not showing up in Wilmington’s search results, you need to up your local search optimization game! Research now shows that over 50% of mobile users are more likely to visit a store after conducting a local search. There are several important factors that shape your local search optimization success:
- That your NAP (name, address, phone number) is consistent across your website and your citations in local directories.
- That you have strong and balanced local reviews.
- That you are creating locally targeted, high-value content on your site.
- That you are steadily growing quality links from other local businesses or valued websites.
Getting this right can be a daunting prospect. It is made harder by the fact that the directories shape your experience to funnel you into paying for better listings, each in a different and more puzzling way than the last.
This gives local business owners three options:
- Tackle the task on their own, night after night, heavy on coffee and frustration.
- Pay the listing agents the ongoing fees they require.
- Hire a professional to correct and complete your citations, and set up review processes and a linking strategy.
Of course, we are going to recommend option three! Our local search optimization experts are well-versed in online citation consistency, review generation, and backlink building. Trust your local business listings in good hands and save yourself the days of work and frustration. We offer online directory audits & can improve your NAP consistency by itself or as part of a comprehensive SEO plan. Give us a call today to learn more!
