Now that we are one month in to 2019, it’s safe to make some predictions. I’m not generally one to bet, but I wouldn’t mind putting my money on the importance of local SEO.
Less than one year ago, Google made a huge change in local search history – probably the biggest one yet. With the update, Google only showed the first three businesses as opposed to the first seven. This meant more territory for local businesses to fight over, though the goal was to provide a more user-friendly experience for users.
Local SEO Remains a Mystery
A year later, local businesses are still trying to find ways to secure a top three spot. If you aren’t business number one, two or three, it’s easy to feel frustrated. Why should the other pizzeria in town get your customers when you’ve worked hard to build up your fan base?
This is why local SEO matters and will continue to matter in the future. If you are a local business with local customers, it’s imperative that you are ranking well so that people can find you. Otherwise, they’re going to continue finding your competitor, and this can put a serious damper on your business.
