• If not ranking in the SERP, start with
a local SEO campaign
@searchinfluence

surrounding areas and major metros
• If ranking well locally, consider
increasing client’s presence in
surrounding cities

You Can’t Fool Google!
@searchinfluence

want to rank for wont work

a P.O. Box and a true brick and mortar store
2. Getting a local phone number in the area that you
want to rank for
3. Using a home address as an office address
• Google understands the difference between
a residence and commercial
@searchinfluence
Google knows where you are!
Frequently Asked Questions…
@searchinfluence
1. My client still hasn’t approved the keyword optimized content. Is that
going to affect their rankings?
• Absolutely. The content that we create for each campaign is
directly related to keyword rankings.
2. What if my client is in the service industry and wants to rank for the areas
they serve?
• It is possible for businesses who travel to their clients to rank for
the areas they serve, but it can be difficult.
