Norfolk SEO Services

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

Multiple factors contribute to local prominence in Google’s algorithm: citations, backlinks, and customer reviews. While Google uses many data points to rank your site, none are more critical than these 3:

1. Citations – These are mentions of your local business that contain your company name, address, and phone number. These start with Google My Business, Yelp, YellowPages, and 48 total listings. The core listings needed to rank well locally are made up of those 48 sites, but there are over 100 more that you will want created and managed to ensure the best ranks possible.

2. Customer Reviews – Reviews convince users that your service or product is great. An estimated 82% of people searching for local companies rely on reviews to make their decisions. Google knows this, and because the search engines are focused on better user experience, they use the number of positive reviews to produce better search results. The right Norfolk SEO company will help you get more reviews for your business profiles online.

3. Links – 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 website so it can rank high in search results. Local businesses need good links from important groups like the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce or local groups like BNI.

Less than half of the local company profiles on Google, the local entries on the maps in search results, are claimed and maintained by their owners. The rest were created automatically and not optimized. As you can see, most of the competition haven’t claimed their profiles. In almost every city, in nearly every industry, SEO will move you to the first page of results with an affordable budget.

For your competitors that have done the basics and claimed their business listing, and done some on-site of their site, you can still get ahead of them by hiring an experienced SEO company like ours. With the search engines changing their ranking algorithms multiple times a year, your competitors will fall behind and lose rankings while your website is kept up to date with the latest ranking factors and trends. That means more customers for you.
