The #1 Local SEO Mistake
(Costing You Money)
Most companies don’t understand that customers are searching for what they do, not their specific business.
Only 16% of local customer searches are for an exact business.
Don’t lose money waiting for the 16%– optimize your listing to be discovered by the 84%.
When your business ranks in the first three results of a local search on platforms like Google Maps and others, you’ll beat out competitors and generate more business.

How Local SEO Works
Local SEO is all about trust. You have to know what “trust signals” directories like Google are looking for. When you pair that with business-specific terms like “auto repair near me” or “flower shop grand rapids”, you have the foundation of local SEO.
Why Local VISIBILITY Matters
People who use local search terms on Google– phrases like “near me” or “grand rapids”– are some of the most active buyers across the entire internet. According to HubSpot, 72% of consumers conducting local searches interacted with a local business within five miles.
