What Is Local SEO and Why You Should Be Prioritizing it
Local SEO is the art(and science) of getting your product/service to appear first in a Google Search result. Why do you want to be the first result in Google? Because the first Google search result gets 34% of the traffic. The second result get’s half of the first’s with only 17% of the traffic, and the third gets half of that.
This means you can double the number of customers you get from moving from the second result to the first.
There is no tool more powerful than Google Search for your business. Google is the world’s most popular website and the world’s most popular search engine. If the world has a question, Google answers it.
You want your product to be the answer Google provides.
