You've Got a Bang-up Website But....

Your website's not showing up in local search results.

1. Speak the same language. 

In order for search engines to know quickly and accurately what they need to know about your website to rank it properly it is imperative that your website speak the same 'language.' And how do you do that? Make sure you have your city and state listed in:
  • Title tags
  • H1 headings
  • within your landing page URL,
  • Alt tags
  • Meta description
  • and within your excellent, relevant content

2. NAP

Your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) is also key to ranking well on search engines. Use schema markup language on your landing page NAP for even better results.  Make sure you use a local phone number with area code. No tracking numbers!

3. Citations are a prime factor in local rankings.


If you have missing or incorrect information, it is sending sends confusing signals to the search engines, plummeting your rank and leaving your data in the dust. Find and fix your Tier 1 data providers and Tier 2 local citation sources. Start with the top local citations for this area:
