Local SEO
Get your local buzz on…
Not every business needs world domination. For many small businesses, if they could just excel in their local area and it could be transformational for both their cashflow and profit.
This is why our Local SEO service is perfect for Local Businesses.
How does Local SEO work with SEOHive?
Our Service is made up of 3 parts, each designed to move the needle for you and your client.
Step 1: A Local SEO Audit
A full review of where and what the opportunity is for your client. This can either be offered as a one-off report, or you can bundle it with Month 1.
Step 2: GBP Optimization Phase – Onboarding / Month 1
Making sure everything is set up correctly is vital to have an impression on your local listings and the Map Pack. This goes for everything from your business name (there might be a keyword opportunity there) to your opening hours, categories and product, service and FAQ listings – we’ve got you covered. We can even fix any incorrect citations for you. We also have our own Local SEO Checklist that we’ll use to review every website!
Step 3: A Local SEO Process to build authority and SERP positions – Month 2 & Onwards
It’s time to get that Profile working for you. Our team will ensure your profile is actively posted to and monitored for reviews, as well as consistently building citations and trust factors around the internet. We’ll also produce full monthly white-label reports for your client.
