Wheeling SEO Services

Yes, local search engine optimization is an awesome way to grow your business. It takes a lot of time and effort to rank a website properly in local search results. These results depend on prominence, which is a measure of how well known and trusted your company is in Wheeling and the general area.

Many details contribute to local prominence in the eyes of a search engine: citations, backlinks, and reviews. While search engines use many other data points to rank your website, none are more critical than these 3:

1. Citations – 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 sites. The core listings needed to rank well locally are made up of those 48 listing sites, however there are about 125 more that you should have created and managed to get the highest ranks possible.

2. Customer Reviews – Reviews convince users that your service or product is great. Experts estimate 82% of searchers looking for local businesses rely on reviews to make their decisions. Google knows this, and because the search engines are focused on user experience, they use the number of positive reviews to develop better search results. A great Wheeling SEO firm should help you increase the number of reviews for your company listings online.

3. Backlinks – Backlinks have been the mainstay of successful SEO campaigns for two decades, and thats not going to change anytime soon. You need quality links that are relevant to your website so it can rank high in search results. Local businesses need links from strong local groups like the Wheeling Chamber of Commerce or local groups like BNI.

Here at our company, we build and maintain your listings for you. We also help you get reviews and make sure they are placed on the right business listings that will help drive in new customers.

We have helped every business niche, from non-profits to large multi-national conglomerates and back to little mom and pop stores on Main St. We love our jobs, and can’t imagine doing anything else. And we think you’ll see this when working with us.

Less than half of the company profiles on Google My Business, the local entries in the search results on the map, are claimed and maintained. The other 56% were created automatically and not optimized. As you can see, most of your competition aren’t doing SEO either. In almost every city, in nearly every industry, SEO will get you to the front page with the right size budget.

For the competitors that have done some basic work and claimed their business listing, and maybe even done some optimization of their site, you can still move ahead of them by hiring an experienced SEO firm like ours. Search engines change their ranking algorithms a few times a year, your competition will lose rankings while you’re kept up to date with the latest ranking factors. That leads to more customers for you.

With simple SEO pricing we’re sure you won’t find a better deal on search engine optimization. With years of experience, and work in the field, we will get your site ranked and your business more paying customers.
