Local SEO Bishop Auckland

Local SEO, or Local Search Engine Optimisation, is essential for all businesses regardless of their size. It helps local businesses improve their visibility in search engine results, which often include terms like “near me”. By optimising your Google Business Profile, website, and online presence, local businesses can attract more local customers searching for their products and services, leading to increased website traffic, foot traffic, and conversions. Key factors in local SEO include the relevance of a business to a search query, its proximity to the user’s location, and its overall prominence in the local community.
