MARKETING FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
For SMEs and regional businesses, localised marketing and local SEO best practices are vital when promoting your brand to potential customers in your target region.
However, there’s a lot more to getting your business in front of local customers than you might think. It’s often not enough to pump localised PPC advertising campaigns out or strategically place local place names into your website copy (without keyword stuffing, we should add – big no no!). You need to take a far more holistic approach to get the greatest benefit from local marketing.
To help you get started and give you the best chance of success, we’ve created a checklist of best SEO practices and digital marketing tips for reaching local customers in your area.
Simply work your way through each section and check off each marketing and SEO activity that you already have in place and see what else you can do to improve your local marketing.
You could also benefit from a free website audit, where we’ll carry out in-depth checks on your website, including regional SEO, and provide you with a detailed report and advice on how to improve your website.
