Why Local SEO Should Be Your Priority in a Competitive Market

Search engine optimisation (SEO) has become an essential digital marketing strategy for businesses that want to reach new customers online. Focusing on ensuring your website ranks on Google, many business owners forget the importance of optimising their website to reach their local community.

Local SEO is a highly effective way for businesses to reach their local community in a competitive market place, this is why:

“Near Me” Searches on the Rise

“Near me” searches re growing rapidly, showing a strong user intent. In fact, many users searching for products or services near them visit the business within twenty four hours, with many converting into customers.

Close to 90% of these users use a mobile device to conduct their local search, often while on the move. If you are not ranking well in local results, you are missing out on valuable business opportunities.

Less Competitive – Gain a Competitive Edge

Global and national keywords are highly competitive, while ranking for local keywords is easier, as it is less competitive. This gives you a better chance of ranking well in local search results, helping you improve your local visibility and drive organic local traffic to your site and physical location.

Improved Conversions

People that are searching for products and services in their local area are more likely to be ready to make a purchase. This is because local searches tend to be more specific, your potential buyer already knows what they are looking for, which improves conversion rates, helping you generate quality leads and sales.

Improved Online Visibility

Of course, the main benefit of local SEO in a competitive market is that you can improve your ranking in local search engine results pages (SERPs). When your website is optimised for your local area, you make it easier for Google to know your location and what you offer. This can increase your ranking, ensuring your potential customers can find you when they search online.

Conclusion

If you operate in a competitive market, then local SEO should be your number one priority to boost your online visibility, helping you reach your targeted local audience, and driving organic traffic to your website and physical location.
