Are you wondering why your business is not found in your city or region? You don't appear on Google Maps? Then it is time to systematically improve your local discoverability.
We support you with effective Local SEO – for more visibility, more trust, and more customers on site.
Why Local SEO must not be underestimated
People have long been searching via mobile devices and based on location for restaurants, service providers, or tradespeople. Often a general search term is enough – Google automatically detects the location and shows matching local results. Those who fail to appear here simply do not exist for potential customers.
In addition to SEO basics, factors such as a fully maintained Google Business Profile, customer reviews, and listings in relevant trade directories play into Local SEO.
What are the goals of Local SEO?
Local search engine optimization aims to generate more qualified inquiries from your region, strengthen your local brand awareness – and ultimately increase revenue.
- Better visibility in local search results & the Google Local Pack – Your business is found exactly when potential customers nearby search for your services.
- More phone calls, website visits & foot traffic – A strong presence in Google Maps and local search drives more inquiries.
- Trust building through reviews – A well-maintained profile and positive Google reviews increase click-through rates and strengthen your reputation.
- Strong presence in mobile searches – Most local searches happen on the go. Local SEO ensures you are visible right when customers seek quick solutions.
Is it enough if NAP data is consistent?
Not quite. Many associate Local SEO exclusively with maintaining NAP data (Name, Address, Phone). Their consistency is important – but Google considers far more factors to rank local businesses.
Successful Local SEO is therefore an interplay of many factors – ONE Beyond Search ensures that your business is optimally positioned across all areas.
The three pillars of successful Local SEO
Local SEO is based on a search engine-optimized website, a strong Google Business Profile, and presence in relevant directories.
1. Onpage SEO for local search queries
- Optimization of the website for local keywords
- Creation and optimization of location-specific landing pages
- Technical measures such as fast page load times, mobile friendliness, and structured data
2. Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business)
- Complete setup and optimization (incl. category selection, description, NAP data, social media profile links, opening hours, etc.)
- Automated maintenance possible across multiple locations
- Strategy development for regular updates with current posts, offers, and images
- Analysis of past reviews (sentiment analysis) and active review management
3. Listings, reviews & local backlinks
- Ensuring consistent listings across all relevant business directories (e.g. Yelp or Yellow Pages)
- Strategic build-up and management of customer reviews
- Acquisition of high-quality local backlinks
Only the combination of all three areas makes you truly discoverable locally.
