significantly in recent years with businesses aiming to take advantage
of the improved connectivity of consumers whilst on the go.
OPTIMISING THE VISIBILITY OF
A WEBSITE ACROSS MAJOR
SEARCH ENGINES FOR LOCAL
SPECIFIC SEARCHES
Local SEO can be defined as:

3. Local based listings generally feature:
• A link to the company website
• Business address
• Reviews
• The location of the business is also
highlighted on a Google Map
Any business with a physical address that gets customers from a local area, should
consider incorporating local SEO into its search marketing strategy.

4. Step 1
Google + and local business profile
The creation of a local business profile on
Google is a vital element when looking to
master local SEO. If you haven’t already
got one, this should be the first stage in the
development of your local search strategy.

5. Step 2
On-site optimisation and semantic markup
In light of Google’s Pigeon update in July 2014,
which focused on aligning localised results
with the core algorithm, it is now even more
critical to ensure that your website is fully
optimised for local SEO.

6. Step 3
Citations and reviews
Citations, reviews and having the correct
profile listings are the biggest contributing
factors to local search based rankings. The
basis of many local SEO campaigns therefore
focus on the building and development of both
citations and reviews.

7. Step 4
Mobile-centric website and content
All of this hard work means nothing if you
don’t have a website that is mobile-friendly.
This will not only result in high bounce rates,
but as a result of ‘Mobilegeddon’, could also
impact on your local visibility within search
engine results pages.
