Ready to grab your share of local customers with local SEO and maps?
Local SEO services are what you need is to maximize your exposure in local directories and online map sites, including Google Places, Yahoo Local, Bing Local, Yelp, and others. These sites are one of the best sources of local business information. iPhone and Android app phones are pre-loaded with Google Maps, pulling local business information from Google Places. Encompass uses proven techniques to secure your position in these directories and provide an attractive profile listing.
This was the ultimate example of a local listing. It was not that many years ago when you wanted to find a particular product, service, or business, you would go to the Yellow Pages. Today, everyone has turned to online searches — Yelp, Bing, Angie’s List, LinkedIn, and, most commonly, Google and Google My Business (GMB).
Whether they’re looking for a restaurant, flower shop, or tattoo parlor, consumers want to find what they need nearby quickly. GMB is a search tool that helps people get what they’re searching for directly from the search engine results page (SERP) without even having to click through to a website.
Your GMB listing is so much more than just your name and address; it is a very active directory listing. The listing changes form based on the platform. Still, Google also “crafts the user experience” by prioritizing sections of your profile according to the term that was searched or by the type of information most important. To top this off, Google will highlight specific keywords in the content of your profile that it thinks are relevant to the user.
Well, since it is a Google product, it all comes down to the same three things: targeting, quality of information, and establishing a trust relationship. So it is essential that information is prioritized and optimized for your GMB listing. First and most importantly, we will fill out your Google My Business profile with all required information – then make sure it is correct.
Next, we upload well-crafted descriptions of all your products and services. This is a critical element, and we must create “new content.” Your written content includes images of your location, logo, and your services are also uploaded. After uploading your content, we “drip” blog posts to the listing over several months. These drips expand the reach of your list and rank.
