Local SEO is simple when you focus on what the searcher wants: the right service, in the right area, from a business they can trust.
Quick Start: the 8 fixes that matter most
If you only do a few things this month, prioritize these:
1) Clear service pages
2) Proof (reviews + projects/case examples)
3) Consistent business info across the web
4) Fast, mobile-friendly pages
5) Service area pages (quality over quantity)
6) Strong internal linking
7) Simple tracking (calls + forms)
8) A weekly routine (publish/update)
Strategy 1: Build pages that match real searches
Most local searches are service + area. Your site should have a clean structure: homepage → services → service details → service areas.
Strategy 2: Make proof easy to find
Proof is a ranking and conversion signal. Add: reviews, project photos, and short case notes on the page.
Strategy 3: Keep your site fast
Slow sites lose leads and rankings. If you want practical fixes, see our post on website speed optimization.
Strategy 4: Build a routine you can maintain
Local SEO compounds. Pick a weekly routine:
- Publish one helpful post or project page
- Add one proof asset (review, photo, case note)
- Improve one page based on customer questions
Action Box: local SEO checklist
- Services are clearly described on Services - Phone and contact path are obvious (Contact) - Proof appears above the fold on key pages - Internal links connect pages logically - Service area pages are useful and unique - Blog supports the main services (Blog) - Track calls/forms and review weekly
Example scenario
A local service business stops publishing random content and instead builds a service-led page structure with proof and FAQs. They see more calls because visitors land on pages that match their search intent.
