Local SEO with Local Directory Listings

Local SEO relies on a number of components. One of them is known as local listings, or online directory citations. Your local business info needs to be complete, accurate, consistent, and linked to from as many places as possible to help your website rank. Google uses these listings as a signal that your business is legitimate. Being listed in as many of these online directories as possible will send Google those signals, and work in combination with your other local SEO efforts to move your local business into the top of the "map pack" for your area.

Think local listings aren't important? Did you know that 57% of mobile searches are for local businesses? If your business isn't listed in the online directories, your company may not be found by these searches. Google Maps and Google Business Profile are the way people find local businesses today. Without these listings, your business may not show up in mapping and GPS services, like Apple Maps and Waze. The more directories you're listed in, the stronger your online presence. Don't overlook these important ways your customers will look for you online.

At a minimum, your business should have a listing on top local search engines like:

...and there are hundreds of other niche listings, depending on your business, that shouldn't be overlooked.
