Local SEO Questions

Common questions about local search optimization.

Extremely important. It's the primary factor for appearing in the Local Pack and Maps results. A well-optimized GBP can drive significant calls, direction requests, and website visits from local searchers.

Yes, both the quantity and quality of reviews are ranking factors. Businesses with more positive reviews tend to rank higher in local results. Recent reviews also signal an active, trustworthy business.

Local SEO typically shows faster results than traditional SEO. You may see improvements in your Google Business Profile within weeks, but significant ranking improvements usually take 3-6 months of consistent effort.

We can optimize for multiple locations! This involves creating separate Google Business Profiles for each physical location, building location-specific pages on your website, and targeted citation building for each area.

NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone number. Search engines cross-reference your business information across the web. Inconsistent NAP information creates confusion and can hurt your local rankings. We ensure 100% consistency.
