Local SEO and Google Maps Optimization
Your customers visit you in person but they find you online.
That’s the growing trend in consumer behavior–people search the web for the local stores and services they consume, whether it’s local restaurants, attorneys, or yoga studios. Do a Google search for “chicago cleaners” and you’ll see that the first 10 results are local search results from Google Maps. The traditional “organic” listings appear below.
The new search environment means that local search engine optimization (SEO) is more important than ever. Optimizing your website for local customers demands a different strategy because the search results for Google Maps are determined differently than standard Google search results.
