Local SEO - 5 Best Ways to Increase Your Local Search Rankings TODAY!!! [Actually Actionable]

From the SEO Experts at https://possibleweb.com - here are the top ways a small business owner can take actionable steps to increase their local search rankings. Did I miss some? Add your own!

1

Improve your page headlines...

Improve your page headlines...

Click through your website. The biggest text on each page - what does it say? Can you expand upon what it says? Chances are it is just the name of the page. Make this a long sentence or headline about what the page content is about. There is no limit to how long your page headline can be; take advantage of that. If you are using WordPress this is your Heading 1. If you have an HTML site your heading will be wrapped in

tags.

Make your Google My business description longer...

Make your Google My business description longer...

Most businesses are adding just a couple of sentences to their Google My Business description. Take advantage of the fact that you can add a few paragraphs with links, bulleted lists, numbered lists and other text formatting options. List out your services, link to your website and other social media pages, describe your business completely using all the terms your customers would use. This will not only improve your position but potentially get you ranking for some other keywords you were not before.

Add a bunch of images to your Google My Business page...

Add a bunch of images to your Google My Business page...

Take out your phone TODAY and snap a bunch of pictures of your team and business during business hours. Have vehicles? Take pictures. Have an office? Take pictures. Have a staff? Take pictures. You get it. Take as many pictures as you can and upload them to your Google My Business page. BONUS: open each picture once uploaded and add more information like a description with your Business name. If you took the pictures with your smartphone they should be tagged with GPS coordinates - if not, you can easily add those again inside your Google My Business page. This is one of the best ways to optimize your Google My business page.

Take one service each week and write 500 words about what you do, how you might do it, why it's good for the community and any other details you may think of. Post one per week on your website blog. Don't have a blog? Get your web developer on the phone right now and have them add a Wordpress blog to your site. If you already use WordPress, then you have a blog - just have them set it up with links in the main navigation. When you publish a blog post be sure to include a lot of images. In fact, you can re-use your images from Step 3.
