Try these strategies to attain high local rankings in the search engines

- Thread -🧵

@DigiPromoteme 1. Build a community.

Perhaps you’re good at bringing people together.

Create a forum or build your social media presence devoted to the needs of your prospective customers.

As this community grows, you can then send your audience towards your offers.

@DigiPromoteme 2. Use a brandable domain.

Previously, domains had to match keywords, but that has changed.

Brandable domains are king.

Create a unique presence for your business, essential when attempting to rank locally.

@DigiPromoteme A good place to purchase domains is Namecheap who offer reasonable prices and good customer service. #domains

@DigiPromoteme 3. Build an intuitive, responsive website.

Consider paying an expert to create a professional website - if only to outrank poorer websites.

A responsive website is essential to ensure that it works on all devices as most web traffic comes from mobile devices.

@DigiPromoteme Alternatively, why not consider an easy to use page builder like Brizy.

✔ 3 different viewports – Desktop, Tablet & Mobile

✔ Drag and Drop Builder

✔ 100+ design templates

@DigiPromoteme 4. Use on-page SEO.

To rank highly, it’s important to optimize each website page with a title, heading tags, and properly labelled images.

Don't try to to rank globally. Instead, add local place names, e.g., “restaurants in Chicago” instead of “restaurants.”

@DigiPromoteme 5. Speed up your website loading time.

Website loading time is a ranking factor that many website owners fail to address.

If your website is slow to load, users will click off it quickly. This high bounce rate will have a negative impact on your SEO efforts.

@DigiPromoteme 6. Verify your business with Google My Business.

To see your business appear on Google Maps, you’ll need to verify it with Google My Business.

Once verified, your business will have a greater chance of appearing on the map on the first-page search results.

@DigiPromoteme 7. Build local citations.

Citations are when your business name, address, & phone number have a web listing. This boosts your visibility on Google Maps & local search results.

Keep wording consistent across all your listings to ensure your overall visibility.

@DigiPromoteme 8. Earn reviews from customers.

Encourage your customers to publish reviews of your products or services.

These reviews help to build trust in the search engines, plus you will be building trust in the general public too.
