Ames SEO Services

Yes, local SEO is the best way to attract new customers. It takes a lot of time and effort to rank your company properly in local results. Local search results depend on prominence, which is a measurement of how trusted and well known your company is in Ames and the surrounding area.

Multiple details contribute to prominence in a search engines algorithm: listings, backlinks, and reviews. While Google uses multiple data points to rank your web site, nothing is more important than these three things:

1. Citations/Listings – Mentions of your local business that have your company name, address, and phone number. You need Google My Business, Yelp, Local.com, and 48 total listings. The core citations needed to get good rankings locally are made up of those 48 listing sites, but there are a total of 125 that you will want created and managed to ensure the best ranks possible.

2. Customer Reviews – Reviews show users that your service or product is excellent. An estimated 82% of people searching for local businesses rely on customer reviews to help make decisions. Google knows this, and because they are focused on great user experience, they use the number of positive reviews to make better search results. A great Ames SEO company will help you get and manage reviews for your business listings online.

3. Links – Links have been the backbone of successful search engine optimization campaigns for 20 years, and thats not going to change soon. You need quality backlinks that are relevant to your site that will help it rank high in the search results. Local companies need links from strong local groups like the Ames Chamber of Commerce or local groups like BNI.

When the search engines change their ranking factors a few times a year, your competitors will lose rankings while you’re kept up to date with the latest ranking factors and trends. That means more sales for you.
