You may have even found our website through local SEO if you searched for “digital marketing St. Louis.”
What is Local SEO?
Local search engine optimization is an incredibly effective way to market your local services and products to potential customers who are searching for them in your area.
Local SEO efforts are performed off-site, in platforms such as Google My Business and Bing Places. When your local profiles are complete, accurate and match what users are searching for, you'll likely appear in search results for the phrases that matter most to your business.
The above example is not necessarily showing the highest rated pizza in St. Louis, but is showing the top three pizza places nearest the SteadyRain office, because Google knows where the search took place and wants to offer the most convenient solution.
Why is Local SEO Important for Your Business?
Local SEO can drive qualified leads and customers that are in your direct vicinity to the physical location of your store, restaurant, or office rather than only a digital location like your website.
Many searches include a location qualifier—“plumbers in St. Louis”—or the phrase “near me” and rely on Google to know where the searcher is located through other means. There is a difference in behavior and result between local searches and a general informational search.
Someone searching for “plumbers in St. Louis” likely needs to call one near their home to hire them for services. If someone in a similar situation searched for something like “how to unclog a drain,” they don’t necessarily intend to hire someone in their area, and a local result wouldn’t be right in that case.
SteadyRain Local SEO Services
One of the most important tools at your disposal for local SEO is Google My Business (GMB). It’s essentially the new Yellow Pages and your business profile on Google. It feeds information to a variety of places, including Google Maps results and the local pack.
The most familiar place you’ll see a Google My Business listing is in a knowledge page at the top right (or at the top on a mobile device) of a branded search for your business.
A major part of local SEO is making sure your GMB profile is as accurate and updated. The last thing you want to do is give out the wrong information to potential customers looking to find you.
SteadyRain can help you optimize your Google My Business listing so that it’s accurate and so it appears in map listings and in the local pack.
