  6. 5 Reasons Why Local SEO Is Critical to Your Business's Success Reason #1 - Your company's information is displayed in front of consumers looking for your products and services.

  7. Your company's information is displayed in front of consumers looking for your products and services. Remember when you used to scour the yellow pages for businesses that provided the products and services you required? All you have to do now is type the product or service you want into a search engine on your laptop, desktop, or mobile device. Businesses that offer those products or services will appear. And, if you type "near me," it will show you everything that is within driving distance of your current location like Houston.That's pretty cool. Those "near me" local SEO searches save you time. Simply select what you want, pull up the map and directions, and you're ready to go. If you look closely at those results, you'll notice that they're populated by online business directories, much like the yellow pages of yesteryear. You desire a content marketing strategy that will assist your pages in ranking in search engine results for specific keywords and keyword phrases (the goal of organic SEO strategies). Local Houston SEO, on the other hand, is critical for businesses that serve a specific community.It is less important for multinational corporations that attract customers from all over the world.

  8. 5 Reasons Why Local SEO Is Critical to Your Business's Success Reason #2 - Consistently Accurate Online Directory Citations Increase Organic and Local Pack Rankings

  9. Consistently Accurate Online Directory Citations Increase Organic and Local Pack Rankings You must accurately and consistently list your business name, address, and phone number across the top-ranked local citations and business directories. This information is known as your NAP Data (name, address, phone). If a search engine bot believes your information is consistent and accurate, it is more likely to include your business in search engine results pages (SERPs). That seems reasonable. Do you think you'd be annoyed if Google directed you to a business that no longer exists or provided you with a phone number that is no longer in service? Search engines want to find this basic information about your company in a variety of places across the internet. When they find that information in multiple places and it is consistent and correct, they believe the data. However, if Google or Bing sees confusing, inconsistent data, they consider it less valid—less reliable. As a result, search engines are more likely to ignore you in favor of a company with more consistent NAP Data.

  10. 5 Reasons Why Local SEO Is Critical to Your Business's Success Reason #3 - Your business website receives more links from authoritative, trusted websites.

  11. Your business website receives more links from authoritative, trusted websites. Backlinks, or links pointing to your site from reputable, authoritative websites, are critical in SEO. They validate the existence of your website, demonstrating that it is a viable force in the vast internet universe. Furthermore, some directory citation sites include a website URL field in their listings and display these URLs as 'dofollow' links. This contributes valuable link equity to your site. Backlinks are used by search engines to determine your domain authority, which improves your SEO (as opposed to 'nofollow' links, which are nice but don't give you any juice).Want to get another great backlink while doing something else beneficial to your business? Join your local chamber of commerce or another business organization. This will result in a relevant local link back.

  12. 5 Reasons Why Local SEO Is Critical to Your Business's Success Reason #4 - Your company will be closer to appearing on the first page of search engine results.

  13. Your company will be closer to appearing on the first page of search engine results. Online business directories occupy a significant amount of space on search engine results pages (SERPs). As a result, local businesses listed in their directories appear first in local search results. If your name isn't on those lists... You must understand how to get your business listed in these local citations business directories or you will lose valuable business. And what you don't know online can be dangerous. You may have the best pizza in town, but if the guy across town can't find you when he searches for "pizza near me," he'll go to your competitor.

  14. 5 Reasons Why Local SEO Is Critical to Your Business's Success Reason #5 - Your company will have more opportunities for third-party reviews.

  15. Your company will have more opportunities for third-party reviews. The three main pillars for ranking well in the Google Local Map Pack are as follows. Relevance How well do you target the keywords or topics that your prospective customers might look for on your website? Prominence How well does your company stand out on the internet? Proximity  How accessible is your company to potential customers looking for your products or services? Local digital marketing in Houston works well, but it takes time and patience just like organic SEO. That's why many businesses hire a local SEO agency to put all the pieces together.
