Local SEO Houston

For most local businesses, getting to the top of Google maps is a highly sought after goal, yet rarely do they find themselves there. If you are like most other businesses, then you understand the value of search engine visibility, but you simply don’t understand how to get there. Let me first start off by explaining what local SEO really is.

What is Local SEO?

Local SEO is a tactic used to improve your Google Maps position organically. Finding your way to the top of Google Maps gives you a huge advantage over your competitors. There are only 3 maps listings for each local keyword search unless you expand the results to view more. As we all know, that means if you aren’t in the top 3, people don’t see you.

Local SEO is an organic method of improving your local search engine results. Organic means that you can’t pay for the results. They happen naturally through Google’s algorithm.

How does Google rank maps listings?

There are well over 200 ranking factors that are involved in this process, and as you may suspect, reviews are not the most important factor. While good reviews show merit, Google knows that their algorithm isn’t perfect and it is easy enough to game the system when it comes to reviews. So, instead they balance their algorithm with hundreds of other factors that send credibility signals to their search engine, allowing them to understand if your business is worth being visible or not.
