Even if you aren't up-to-date on the latest digital marketing trends, you are bound to have heard of search engine optimization (SEO) at one point in time or another. SEO is a strategy that helps your website appear high in search engine results without having to pay for premium ad spaces. This allows more users to see your website. If your website isn't on the first page, it is unlikely your potential customers will find it since more than half of all Internet users do not go beyond the first page of results. To reach more customers and ensure your website ranks above your competitors' sites, add local SEO tactics to your marketing efforts.

• Increased Local Visibility:Mentioning your business name along with your address and phone number improves your local rankings. Once local rankings improve, your website will appear more often. More leads will begin to find your website when they are looking for your products and services. Since your website will be appearing more often in your local area, the number of leads that are directed to your website will increase.
• Increased Targeted Traffic: Improving local SEO on your strong, relevant keywords means you will be attracting more locals in your area who are already searching for the products and services you offer. This means you will be attracting more leads to your site who are part of your targeted audience, which increased the amount of targeted traffic to your website.
• Google Maps Visibility: Correctly setting up your Google My Business account is imperative in local SEO. Along with your on site SEO, you can ensure your GMB account is set up appropriately with the correct keywords, categories, and products/services. Once all of this information is set up, your business will appear on search results and map results when a user is within a close proximity to your business.

Local SEO allows your website to be placed in front of your customer during their buying decision process. You don't want to miss out on appearing in front of them during this crucial moment. If you don't optimize your website for local searches, your sales funnel may suffer.
