What is Local SEO?
In a nutshell, SEO is how you get customers from Google (without Ads). What many don’t realize is that there are subcategories within SEO. “Local SEO” is in its own category because you aren’t just optimizing for rankings and traffic on Google: you are optimizing specifically for local search on Google.
Local search is unique due to Google Business Profile & Google Maps – which only appear for local searches (aka, “near me”, “in Columbus”, “near Queens”)
Any business that relies on local customers should be investing in local search optimization – because national SEO isn’t going to net new customers. An effective local strategy incorporates efforts to rank both in organic search AND Maps, a critical component of getting in front of local customers.
Mission Chiropractic & Wellness of Columbus had a 60% increase in organic calls YoY in just under 7 months, resulting in more patients, reduced Google Ad spend, and better ROI
When you search “near me” – I help you find my clients.Â
​Who are my clients? SMBs, healthcare providers, law firms, and B&M enterprises who depend on local search to reach their customers.
With nearly a decade of SEO experience in various agency and in-house roles, I’ve applied creative and data-driven SEO strategies that win the Map Pack, generate leads, and drive revenue.
For nearly a decade, Sam has advised businesses in the most competitive industries & markets.
