Local SEO is accomplished through
1) Having a Google Business Listing.
2) Citations
linking to your websites.
3) Posting
on your Google Business.
4) Consumer Reviews- REAL ONES!
5) Social Media attached to your GMB
Yes, Social Media is important and you should not ignore it.
Social Media Posting:
Consumers use Social Media to learn more about your
Business’s personality and it will drive more sales if they like who & what
your brand is. Social media is not Groupon, but it is to be used to develop
relationships with your potential customers.
This is a great way to promote
specials, new inventory and create awareness. Measuring success will depend on
what your goals are.
If you do not have an active social media, then customers
don’t think you are actively in business, they think you are old fashioned,
behind the times, or that you care about them.
Social Media is exactly that- Social.
This is not
Groupon and if you only want to drive sales, use Groupon. People purposely go
to Groupon to spend money, which is why the success rates are high.
Does Social Media convert into sales?
Social Media is used to CONVERT lookers into Buyers. AFTER they feel they have a relationship with you and like you,
which is why getting people to like your business page is important.
Consumers hate being sold directly on Social Media.
Be careful, or they will unlike your pages.
Have a plan in mind when you post. Don’t post just
to post, or it will be like having a disjointed conversation with a friend.
Make- a- plan, have goals and create a message that follows your campaign.
Social media is like dating and getting to know someone.
Don’t just post specials without letting people get to know you first.
Let them know who you are and what makes you
different. Show your passion and how it relates to your business. Then once
they know what you’re about, then highlight specials, inventory, special
events.
Give consumers a reason to follow your page, make
them like you. People buy from people they “Like” and your business does have a
personality like a person

Do I have to have a Google Business Listing?
Google Business Page Listing
Your Cell phone is now the "Yellow" pages and without having a Google Business Page Listing, customers can't find you.
How Google determines local ranking Local results are based primarily on
What is important for SEO to reach Customers?
Relevance, Proximity, and Prominence.
How a Consumer searches using voice search, the key words, how far your business is from them and if you are properly vetted in Google's Eyes.
1) Relevance means what they are searching for and how relevant it is to your website wording.
2) Proximity-The distance your business is from the searching device. Google is not going to promote a carpet cleaning business in Perdido Key if the search is coming from East hill Pensacola.
3) Prominence means is your website vetted with Good Reviews, How long has the website been around, how many connections, aka links are attached, like Better Business Bureau, and online directories with the same information listed on your website.
Simple stuff right?
If Google is the information super highway, how does it know what exit ramp to direct customers to get off at? You need a detailed exit ramp sign right?
Your Google Business Page listing is much like an exit ramp on the highway. The more information you can fit on the page/sign, the more likely cars/traffic will want to off and visit your website.
How to Optimize your Google Page & Why would you do it?
Optimizing your Google Business Page Listing is like when you see the gas station, restaurants, and attractions listed on the exit ramp.
You need to tell Google where to send your customers and for what to expect. I will show you if your page is set up properly. I can set it up correctly as well as register your business on the top 60 online directories.
Google Business Page Listings now lets you post social media to your page as well as text you and book appointments.
Your Google Business
Page needs to be treated just like your website and be given SEO to it to rank
in the top 3 positions for various cities. When you optimize the page, we add
meta tabs, H1, H2, press releases and citations.
All photos will be tagged with
Alt tags and optimized to load faster. AGAIN, you are now swimming with the
sharks with deep pockets and your website has no, zip, zero SEO to it.
The
least expensive way to boost is to put SEO on this page. (When money is rolling
in, then you get a really good SEO site with all of the SEO built into it.)
This is a really good investment if you have a basic website without any SEO built into it since most of the website traffic you want in Pensacola is local searches.
What if I don't have a website built, or what if my website is terrible?
You don't need a fancy website.
I can create a website that will rank well on Google for $500. Mobile First and page speed loads quickly.
It is easy to edit, post new photos, and you can blog.
Social Media is important because this is where you convert a tire kicker into a buyer. They won't necessarily be buying from social media, but this is where they narrow down their selection.
