What is Local SEO?
Local Search Engine Optimization is all about ensuring that customers in the areas you serve can find your business online via search engines.
This is done by optimizing your site to rank higher in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) for search terms that not only align to your business, but also have local intent.
Localized searches consider three factors:
- Relevance – How well your business matches what the searcher is looking for.
- Proximity – The distance between the local searcher and your business.
- Prominence – Popularity. How well known your business is.
Why is Local SEO Important?
Visitors from search engines are highly targeted and have a high conversion rate.
By implementing an effective local SEO strategy, you will get your business in front of more customers by ranking for local search queries.
A common flow your prospective customers will take is:
- Search for a local business (e.g “Dentist in <city name> ” or “Sushi near me”).
- Pick a business in the top three that has great reviews and a good looking website.
- Make a call or visit the business.
Nowadays, a solid online presence will give you an edge over the competition.

NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone. A NAP citation is this information listed in a directory (think GMB, Yelp, Chamber of Commerce, etc). The more your NAP appears in directories in a consistent format, the more Google trusts your identity and location. You may also see references to NAPW which is Name, Address, Phone and Website.
The Map Pack (or Local 3 Pack or Snack Pack) is the top three map listings when searching for a local business using Google. These top three spots are highly competitive as most searchers tend to select one of these three results to do business with.
