Did you know that 92% of people find the company they want to work with on the first page of search results?
That means that if you’re not visible on the first results page when they type in a query on Google, there’s almost no chance that the very best leads that need your services right now are ever going to consider you. (How would they find you?)
What’s more, when you rank for relevant local keywords, you will experience a surge of traffic to your website. There, you can give directions for people to visit your store in person, while also boosting your online sales for your products and bookings for your services.
As you become more visible on local search, more people will start leaving you reviews, which will provide your company with a ton of social proof and helps build credibility that will help you stand out, even in the most competitive marketplaces.
When you hire local SEO experts, they not only improve your online presence, boosting your traffic, but help you set up a funnel to deliver the majority of customers to your physical store.
People need to trust a business before they can consider its services. Seeing your business among the ‘3-pack’ results, or your high review rating on Google Maps, can serve as undeniable proof that your company is reliable. In fact, this type of proof can be the primary factor in the decision process.
