Merced SEO Services

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

Multiple factors add to prominence in the eyes of Google: citations, links, and reviews. While search engines use many other points of data to rank your site, none are more critical than these three things:

1. Citations – These are mentions of your local business that contain your company name, address, and phone number. You need Google My Business, Yelp, Local.com, and 48 total sites. The core listings needed to rank well locally are made up of those 48 listing sites, however there are over 100 more that you should have created and managed to get the best ranks possible.

2. Reviews – Reviews convince users that your service or product is great. An estimated 82% of searchers looking for local companies rely on customer reviews to help make decisions. Google knows this, and because they are focused on user experience, they use the number of positive reviews to produce better search results. The right Merced SEO firm should help you get and manage reviews for your business profiles online.

3. Backlinks – Links have been the root of successful search engine optimization campaigns for 20 years, and thats not going to change anytime soon. You want quality links that are relevant to your website to rank high in the search engines. Local businesses need good links from important groups like the Merced Chamber of Commerce or local groups like BNI.
