What Businesses Need Local SEO the Most?

Every business needs an effective search engine optimisation (SEO) campaign that includes local SEO. Some businesses, especially those restricted by geographical location, benefit the most. Global SEO has become competitive and expensive with businesses competing for highly competitive short tail keywords.

More businesses are seeing the benefits of local SEO, which is not only cheaper, but an effective way to reach local potential customers. 

What Businesses Need Local SEO?

As mentioned above, businesses that are restricted by geographical location will benefit from local SEO the most. This includes:

Contractors

A home owner wakes up in the morning to find that their toilet is leaking or their boiler isn't working, the first thing they do is go online and do a search for local contractors. The Yellow Pages being delivered to the door is a thing of the past, as you can now find all the information that you need online. The last thing a home owner needs when worried and doing a quickly search for help, is to be given results from around the world. This is where local SEO comes into play. Businesses such as plumbers, electricians, and HVAC contractors benefit greatly, as they can only work in areas that are easily accessible.

Medical Services

Businesses that provide medical services benefit from local SEO. These businesses need to attract local patients, helping them enjoy an increase in patient to their doctors office or dental practice. This includes urgent care clinics, doctors offices, and dental practices. By publishing high quality content using local long tailed keywords, these medical professionals can drive new patients to their website or into their offices. 

Law Firms

When a person searches for legal services, they expect to find a legal expert in their location. It is important for law firms to appear in local searches where local users are searching for legal services or lawyers. As a law firm you can create a Google My Business page, optimising your web content to include local keywords, helping you boost your visibility in local results.

Restaurants

Restaurants benefit from local SEO, as they provide a service to clients in a set geographical area. The majority of users searching for restaurants use mobile devices, using the “near me” search. In order to attract new customers, restaurants should embrace local SEO, helping to increase ranking in local results.

Pet Services

Pet services, including veterinarians, is highly specialised and clients will look in specific locations. The most common pet service keywords used in local searches include pet supplies, dog training, dog walking, veterinarians, pet sitting, and pet grooming. By publishing high quality, interesting, and relevant content using local keywords, along with creating a Google My Business profile are just some of the ways these businesses can ensure they reach their target audience to achieve long term success.

Property Companies

Property companies, including real estate agencies, benefit from local SEO. Property companies need to invest in a local SEO strategy that will push them to the top of local rankings, helping them reach clients looking to buy or sell property in their specific geographical area. 

High quality local content can include valuable information such as community events, area history, landmarks, and local schools, among others. Using local keywords and providing content that offers value to readers is the most effective way to achieve local SEO success for property companies.

In Summary

Local SEO is not as competitive as regular SEO. It does require ongoing monitoring, an effective strategy, and knowledge regarding keyword research, competitor research, link building and more. Most local businesses will use a local SEO expert to assist them in putting their campaign in place to help them reach their local audience, driving them to their website or brick and mortar office.
