What is Local SEO?

Local Search Engine Optimization is the process of optimizing your business online presence, so it appears when customers/clients go searching online for your services in a specific geographic area.

Here is a few examples on how local SEO works. A customer may use Google Search or Maps with keywords such as:

“plumber near me”
“best electrician in Cape town”
“HVAC company Johannesburg”
“emergency pest control”

A business with good local visibility usually appears on top as a priority option and that is what customers pick.

Google Business Profiles
Bing Places
