Google My Business is a free tool provided by Google to allow businesses and organizations to manage their information across Google search and maps. Creating and optimizing this profile results in your business being included in relevant local searches. Unfortunately, one of the biggest local SEO downfalls we see is leaving Google My Business profiles unclaimed and unoptimized.
Our team can handle updates to your Google My Business listings including:
We’ll then report to you every month on the performance of your Google My Business listing, including how much traffic and conversions it’s driving to your website and how to optimize for better results.
Beyond Google My Business, having relevant links from local industry profiles and review services like Yelp, Yellow Pages, BBB, Trip Advisor, Groupon, are an important part of your local SEO efforts. Not only do these links help build your organic visibility, but Google and other search engines use these citations to verify, validate, and return your correct business information in their search results.
Marcel Digital will manage all of these citations for you, making sure that the information contained is correct, optimized, and updated when it needs to be. This saves your team countless hours and headaches of tracking each citation down.
In order to attract local searches, you also need to create content that is localized to the areas you serve. Creating localized content will help search engines tie your business or franchises to a certain city or area. We’ll work with your marketing and content teams to create a comprehensive local SEO content strategy to attract, inform, and convert more users from local searches.
Some of the content we help create and optimize include:
