Local Marketing Tailored For Your Business
Your First Three Months: A Roadmap to Local Search Success
Every business and every industry is different, so there’s no ‘cookie cutter’ solution. It’s about what your business needs now, and what strategy is best for you.
That said, here a rough guideline of how a typical local search marketing program works.
Month 1: Laying the Groundwork
Let’s start by making Google and your potential customers sit up and take notice. We’ll claim, verify, and polish your Google Business Profile (GBP) profile. (Formerly Google My Business) Think of your GBP listing as your business’s digital storefront. We’ll make sure it’s stocked with all the essentials: your hours, services, and eye-catching photos.
Other business directories: We will also get you up-to-date on important directories like Bing Places, Yelp, and Apple Maps.
Next, we’ll give your website a review. We’ll look for ways to boost speed, improve how visitors use your site, and tweak it for better conversion rates. This isn’t about a complete overhaul. It’s about making smart, impactful updates that matter.
We’ll scope out the local landscape. Understanding where you stand among local competitors helps us see where there’s room to grow.
Month 2: Gaining Visibility and Building Trust
This is when things start heating up. We’ll tailor your local search marketing to speak directly to your community. We’ll keep your GMB listing fresh with regular posts and updates. This keeps your audience engaged and informed.
Accuracy is key in local search. We’ll comb through your listings in essential directories, making sure every detail about your business is spot on. Being consistent helps people and search engines trust you’re the real deal.
We also roll up our sleeves and dive into reputation management. We’ll encourage your happy customers to share their positive experiences and set you up to start growing your review numbers. At the same time, we’re on guard to address any concerns professionally. Building a great online reputation is a marathon, not a sprint.
Month 3: Refining and Expanding
By now, we’re gathering steam. We’ll continue to refine update your GMB and examine your website, suggesting adjustments based on feedback and insights.
We keep building your online reputation, showcasing your best reviews where they’ll make the most impact. It’s all about keeping the momentum going and ensuring your business stands out for all the right reasons.
We’re not just watching the numbers. We’re analyzing them. What’s working? What could be better? We’ll tweak our strategies, ensuring we’re always one step ahead.
Building on Success: The Path Forward
Success is not a destination. It’s a continuous journey. As we move forward, we’ll keep the dialogue open. We’ll explore new opportunities to boost your visibility and draw in more local customers. Think ongoing optimization, expanded content, exploring new directories, and doubling down on what works.
Like we said at the beginning, every business is different and will have different ongoing needs.
Your success fuels our strategy. We’re excited to see how far we can go together.
