National vs Local SEO
There is a big difference in the type of SEO strategy you deploy. Your business needs clarity and focus on how to generate the most targeted traffic to your website.
Local SEO Optimization Includes:
- Building authority to your website. This means getting sites that are relevant to your industry to link to your website. For more competitive industries, this is the most important ranking factor to address.
- Building citations on relevant sites. Citations are listing for your business name, address and phone number on other websites like niche directories as well as broad category sites like online yellow pages. The more citations you have, the better rankings you’ll achieve. Citations have to be done correctly or you can end up confusing search engines and dropping in the search results
- Customer Reviews are another very important factor in your local search rankings. Reviews are a signal to search engines that your business is active. You need at least 10 reviews on Google. Once you reach 25 reviews, you’ll see a jump in your local search rankings.
Local SEO Optimization Includes:
- Building authority to your website. Yep, just like local search, building authority through incoming links is the most important. Link building isn’t for the faint of heart. When done correctly, link building will be your greatest asset. Do it wrong and you’re likely to get slapped with a Google penalty that your site may never overcome.

- On site Optimization. This involves making sure you have implemented all of the recommended best practices within your website. This includes things like writing good titles and descriptions for each web page and making sure they fit within the recommended character length. On-site optimization is quite comprehensive, but will yield dramatic results when done correctly.
- Lots of Unique Content. Search engines use the content on your site to determine what your site is about. Your content is also used to match searches with. The more content you have on your site, the more searches Google can match to it.
