Local SEO

An industry leader in search engine optimization for local businesses

Many digital marketing agencies have extensive experience with search engine optimization, but few have a level of expertise with local search engine optimization. While these may seem similar, they’re vastly different and rely on unique techniques and strategies. If you own a local business and you’re interested in growth in the digital space, local SEO is the answer. 

Our local search experts put you in front of consumers from your zip code searching for the services you offer. Schedule a demo today to see how our innovative tools and techniques can help your business get discovered by local people.

Are SEO and local SEO different?

Short answer: yes. Long answer: yesssssssssss. For example, if your roofing company is getting lots of traffic, that’s what you want, right? That means your SEO is working, right? Not so fast – what if your roofing company is in Oregon but your traffic is coming from all over the country? You’re not going to drive to Oklahoma for a job. You would gladly trade that irrelevant traffic for a handful more quality leads in your area.

When someone searches for a local business, Google understands they’re eager to make a decision. They want the best choice now. That’s where we come in. We build your website from the ground up with local search in mind, providing the precise signals that you’re the right business to recommend to local customers.

Precision neighborhood-level targeting

Our reputation for local SEO expertise comes from two decades of helping everyone from mom and pop shops to M&E firms. Whether you want to micro-target specific neighborhoods near you or expand into new competitive markets, we can help with precise neighborhood-level targeting. This way, potential customers will always know you’re open for business. 

Make the perfect first impression

First impressions are important in real life, but they might even be more important online. Searchers from your zip code simply don’t have a lot of time to spend shopping around or comparing services. They want to make a decision quickly and move on. Our local search tools ensure they find you quickly – and want to know more. 

Expand into new markets with ease

One of the biggest challenges of expansion is spreading the word. A critical component of merger and acquisition marketing, our local SEO techniques harness the power of schema markups, precise geo-targeting, and other techniques, so the leads are waiting as soon as you get there. 

Your map to success

We help local businesses get put on the map – sometimes, literally. How often do you do “Map searches”? It’s a highly effective type of search that’s increasingly popular, especially with young people. When someone does a “Map search,” you can bet it’s a high-quality lead because they know what they want to find and where they want to find it. With our Map Pack integrations, you’re suddenly on the radar of an entirely new subset of customers in your area.

Local listings management

Who has the time for tedious data management that goes with keeping your local listings registries updated? We do! There are dozens of online directories across the internet that need to be updated and optimized, and by ensuring consistency and accuracy in your business information, you’re maximizing your chances of appearing in local search results.

Reviews and reputation monitoring

Online reviews play a significant role in influencing a customer’s decision-making process. City Ranked’s reviews and reputation management experts help you build and improve your online reputation by implementing strategies to generate positive reviews and address any negative feedback. By building a strong reputation, you instill trust and credibility in potential customers.

What is service area targeting?

We use an innovative local SEO technique that allows local businesses to target locations at the neighborhood level. This gives you greater control over defining your service area, giving you more relevant traffic for your area. It’s also highly effective in redefining your service area, such as expanding into a new market, significantly reducing the amount of time before you start generating leads in the area.

If you operate a service-based business, have multiple locations, or cater to a broader service area, this proprietary local SEO technology is a game-changer.
