Cape Girardeau SEO Services

Yes, local SEO is a great way to grow your company. It takes a lot of time and effort to rank a business properly in local search results. Local results depend on prominence, which is a measurement of how well known and trusted your company is in Cape Girardeau and the surrounding area.

Multiple details add to prominence in a search engines algorithm: listings, backlinks, and customer reviews. While Google uses many data points to rank your website, none are more critical than these three things:

1. Citations/Listings – Mentions of your local business that have your business name, address, and phone number. These start with Google My Business, Yelp, YellowPages, and 45 other sites. The core listings needed to rank well locally are made up of those 48 sites, but there are about 125 more that you should have created and managed to get the best ranks possible.

2. Positive Reviews – Reviews convince users that your service or product is great. An estimated 82% of searchers looking for local businesses rely on reviews to help make decisions. Google knows this, and because the search engines are focused on good user experience, they calculate the value of positive reviews to develop better search results. A great Cape Girardeau SEO company should help you get more positive reviews for your business profiles online.

3. Backlinks – Links have been the core of successful search engine optimization campaigns for 20 years, and thats not going to change soon. You still need quality backlinks that are relevant to your site so it can rank high in search engines. Local businesses need good links from strong local groups like the Cape Girardeau Chamber of Commerce or local networking groups like BNI.
