A topic that is sadly neglected far too often is the topic of small business SEO. Many businesses feel that they are “too small” to worry about SEO, that it is “too expensive”, or it is just not worth their time as they are just a local business. Nothing could be further from the truth!
So what exactly can a small business do to optimize for success in their local area?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This one is pretty self-explanatory. This is something that a lot of businesses can do very easily, and that is registering with this service and adding yourself to this directory of businesses that Google will index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is unique to your small business? What keywords are going to make your local business stand out? Are there local festivals\/fairs that could make your company stand out in the SERP? What might help a local find you and perhaps drive word of mouth conversation? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drive them and then respond to them! Even if it is negative feedback, nothing is a bigger red flag than no Google reviews or Google reviews that go ignored. Don’t let this be your business, and know that Google will index this for their results in the SERP. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
