Imagine you have a cake shop in Central Mumbai and you are putting in a lot of money and effort into digital marketing \u2013 predominantly Search Engine Optimization. However, for some odd reason, walk-ins are not as expected. This could be due to a couple of reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You are not maintaining a GMB profile<\/li>\n
  2. You are not optimizing SEO for your locality<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Whatever the reason, the effect is detrimental to your business and something you must reverse to boost ROI. Keep in mind that there are a few challenges of Local SEO for you business<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 we do have solutions for them, though! Scroll down to find out more.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Challenge \u2013 Local Link Building<\/strong>
      \nLocal       link building<\/strong><\/a> is essential to get optimal results from SEO<\/a><\/strong>. However, most brands are unaware about how they can get started with local link building and citation management.
      \nSolution \u2013 Target Local Websites<\/strong>
      \nIf you know of any websites that allow third parties to plug in their address, phone number, and location, do so immediately. Eg: Yelp, Zomato, Buurp. Google, Apple, Bing, and Facebook Local spiders crawl for information like name, address, and phone number (NAP), and this could greatly boost your local SEO ranking.<\/li>\n
    2. Challenge \u2013 Create a Local Landing Page<\/strong>
      \nWhile brands create a landing page for SEO campaigns, creating multiple local landing pages proves to be a challenge. This is primarily due to the sheer increase in the number of landing pages that a brand will have; it may become difficult to manage.
      \nSolution \u2013 Optimize Google My Business (GMB)<\/strong>
      \nCreating and maintaining a GMB profile is beneficial in multiple ways. Not only does it enable users to learn about your business but also automatically takes users to your local landing page, provided you have made one. Make it as localized as possible to rank. Tools like Content Fusion can help finetune       content<\/a><\/strong> for SEO standards.<\/li>\n
    3. Challenge \u2013 Generating GMB Reviews<\/strong>
      \nGetting a consistent flow of positive GMB reviews is a tough ask, especially when your customers are not tech savvy. However, you must ensure at least 90% of your happy customers write a review. But how?
      \nSolution \u2013 Prompt them in-store, remind them via email<\/strong>
      \nWhen a customer comes in-store and shows that he or she is happy, ask them to leave a review. If you are doubtful, a team member can even show them how to do it so it can happen on the spot. Alternatively, you can send them a follow-up email as a reminder to increase the probability.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Now that you are ready to take on the challenges of local SEO, we recommend you do it with an expert SEO agency. But which?<\/p>\n
