Local SEO: An essential service
offered by our agency

Is your website struggling to attract visitors?

Does your Google My Business listing remain invisible on the map, far from the top results? Despite all your efforts, are you still not ranking well for local searches such as “your service + your city”?

If these challenges sound familiar, you’re not alone. Many local businesses face these issues.

Fortunately, a local SEO audit can be the first step towards optimizing your digital strategy and boosting your visibility in local search results, where your potential customers are actively searching.

Understanding local SEO and its benefits for your business

Local SEO is a branch of SEO that focuses on optimizing a business’s visibility in Google’s geolocated search results.

Unlike traditional SEO, which aims to optimize a website for ranking among the top ten standard results (the “10 blue links”), local SEO highlights specific factors such as geographic proximity, the quality of customer reviews, and optimization of your Google My Business profile.

Local SEO aims to position your business better in local searches and on platforms like Google Maps.

Why is local SEO essential for your business?

Increase foot traffic

Directly attract customers to your store or business location.

Enhanced visibility

Appear on Google Maps and Google My Business, boosting your credibility.

Generate calls and contacts

A well-optimized profile encourages users to contact you easily.

 

For example, a search like “best coffee in Montreal” first displays a map with points of interest, followed by local listings. By optimizing your Google My Business profile with photos, reviews, and updated information, your business has a better chance of appearing in these results.

Did you know? Every month, Google generates billions of local searches, and more than 30% of all mobile searches are location-based. (Source: Google)
