Santa Monica SEO Services

Yes, local SEO is an awesome way to attract customers. It takes a lot of time and effort to rank your business properly in local search results. These results depend on prominence, which is a measurement of how trusted and well known your business is in Santa Monica and the general area.

Many factors add to prominence in the eyes of Google: listings, backlinks, and reviews. While Google uses many points of data to rank your site, nothing is more critical than these:

1. Citations/Listings – These are mentions of your company that have your business name, address, and phone number. These start with Google My Business, Yelp, Local.com, and 48 total sites. The core listings needed to get good rankings locally are made up of those 48 sites, however there are about 125 more that you should have created and managed to ensure the highest ranks possible.

2. Reviews – Reviews show users that your service or product is the best choice. An estimated 82% of searchers looking for local businesses rely on customer reviews to help make decisions. Search engines know this, and because they are focused on better user experience, they count positive reviews to make better search results. A great Santa Monica SEO firm can help you get and manage reviews for your company listings online.

3. Backlinks – Backlinks have been the core of successful search engine optimization campaigns for over a decade, and thats not going to change soon. You need quality links that are relevant to your website to rank high in the search engines. Local companies need links from important groups like the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce or local groups like BNI.
