Columbus SEO Services

Yes, search engine optimization is an awesome way to attract new customers. It takes a lot of effort to rank a website properly for local search results. These local results depend on prominence, which is a measure of how trusted and well known your business is in Columbus and the surrounding area.

Many details contribute to prominence in Google’s algorithm: listings, backlinks, and customer reviews. While Google uses many data points to rank your website, nothing is more critical than these:

1. Citations/Listings – These are mentions of your local business that have your business name, address, and phone number. You need Google My Business, Yelp, Local.com, and 45 other listings. The core listings needed to rank well locally are made up of those 48 sites, but there are about 125 more that you will want created and managed to secure the highest ranks possible.

2. Customer Reviews – Reviews show users that your service or product is the best. Experts estimate 82% of people searching for local businesses rely on customer reviews to help make their decisions. Google knows this, and because the search engines are focused on better user experience, they calculate the value of positive reviews to make better search results. The right Columbus SEO company can help you get more reviews for your company listings online.

3. Backlinks – Backlinks have been the core of successful SEO campaigns for 15 years, and nothing has changed here. You need quality links that are relevant to your website to rank high in search engines. Local businesses need specific links from strong local groups like the Columbus Chamber of Commerce or local networking groups like BNI.
