Santa Maria SEO Services

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

Many factors contribute to prominence in the eyes of a search engine: listings, links, and reviews. While search engines use many other data points to rank your site, nothing is more important than these:

1. Citations – 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 48 total listings. The core listings needed to rank well locally are made up of those 48 sites, but there are a total of 125 that you will want created and managed to secure the highest ranks possible.

2. Positive Reviews – Reviews prove to users that your service or product is excellent. Experts estimate 82% of people searching for local companies rely on customer reviews to make their decisions. Search engines know this, and because they are focused on better user experience, they use the number of positive reviews to make better search results. A great Santa Maria SEO company should help you increase the number of reviews for your business profiles 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 site that will help it rank high in the search results. Local businesses need links from strong local groups like the Santa Maria Chamber of Commerce or local groups like BNI.
