What is Local SEO?
Local SEO is the work that gets your business found by people searching nearby, in map results and in phrases like plumber near me.
Local results work differently from the rest. Google shows a map with a few businesses above the normal listings, and distance, relevance, and reviews decide who appears. Your website is only part of that picture.
The foundation is a complete Google Business Profile: correct hours, the right categories, real photos, and a steady flow of reviews you actually answer. Then make sure your name, address, and phone number match everywhere they appear online.
On the site itself, give every location and every service its own page with local detail on it. A page that names the neighborhoods you serve and answers local questions beats a generic services page every time.
