Small business marketing services with BrokenMoonMedia? For maximum effect with location landing pages, each page should be appropriately optimised. Firstly, the content on each page should be constructed to be as informative and relevant to the location as possible, while still signalling to search engines the main purpose of it (the service). While it might be tempting to copy and paste the content for each location service page, creating entirely unique copy will prevent issues with duplicate content. Secondly, each URL should follow a simple pattern and structure to make it easy for both search engines and users to track. Finally, optimising each page’s title tags, call to action, and H1 & H2 tags will enrich each page with local strategic SEO.
Google My Business: Having a well-optimized and verified Google My Business (GMB) profile is very important as it is considered to be the topmost factor for ranking in map results. Update and secure your GMB profile so that you have your own online identity, and the chances for your business to appear in Google’s local search is more. Make sure to be as specific as possible when adding information to your GMB profile.
Readers trust online reviews more than ever today (see our post on 4 Ways User Reviews Impact Your Search Results). That’s why a well-written, somewhat lengthy positive review is gold for any business owner. Reviews make a significant impact on local SEO, whether it be directly on a website, or listed in connection to a Google My Business listing. It’s frustrating and tedious to encourage satisfied customers to leave positive reviews, but worth it in the end. Once reviews start coming in, others are naturally encouraged to write their own.

Still not sure about the difference between cheap SEO and (good) affordable SEO? Check out this infographic. With many larger SEO companies charging between $5K and $10K+ per month to optimize and manage clients’ SEO campaigns, many small businesses were essentially left to fend for themselves. The alternative became fly-by-night SEO companies offering cheap SEO packages at cut-throat prices. Forbes reports that a quality national SEO campaign will run you $2K/month on the low-end. After nearly 2 decades of executing profitable SEO campaigns, we can attest to that. Shady SEO companies charge $99/month. So, you have to ask yourself; if someone is selling you a Ferrari for $9,990, is that even remotely close to the same ball park as what you’d expect to pay for a Ferrari?
