What is Local SEO?

By Alex Bungener

Local SEO company servicesLocal search optimization or local SEO concentrates on that part of the search real estate known as Google+ Local. Google+ Local was Google Places. Google made the switch to Google+ around May 2012. Just in case you were not familiar with Google+ local an example of it is to the right. Google puts this list of businesses on its pages when Google figures that you are likely looking for  a local business. This is determined by Google based on the search term typed in.  A searcher can also click on places or maps at the top of Google and the whole page will be a list of businesses. In the regular search result Google will list at the most 7 businesses with the Google+ Local block.

Consistent accurate business information all across the internet is most definitely needed for effective local SEO. When Google finds inconsistent, inaccurate business identity info (name, address, number, etc.) on the internet, your business’s relevancy in the eyes of the Google gods starts dropping. When that happens, your business will very likely not make the 1st page of Google. Remember, Google is all about giving the searcher the MOST relevant information possible. So if your business information in not consistent and accurate you will not be considered most relevant — thus you won’t appear on that 1st page.
