The statement "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn" perfectly encapsulates our philosophy.

We want to involve them in the process, so they can truly understand the concepts and strategies we're employing.

That's why we offer a variety of services designed to involve our clients in the digital marketing process. From interactive workshops and training sessions to collaborative content creation and social media management, we work closely with our clients to develop strategies that meet their unique needs and goals.

By involving our clients in the process, we help them to better understand the "why" behind our recommendations and strategies, which leads to better results and more sustainable growth.

But involvement isn't just about empowering our clients with knowledge and skills. It's also about building strong relationships based on trust and transparency. When our clients feel involved in the process, they're more likely to feel invested in our success and to trust us to make the right decisions on their behalf.

In conclusion, we believe that involvement is the key to effective teaching and learning, and that philosophy extends to our approach to digital marketing. By involving our clients in the process, we help them to truly understand the strategies and tactics we're employing and to build stronger, more trusting relationships with our agency.

"Why Reviews?"

In the age of the internet, businesses need to do everything they can to stand out in the crowded online marketplace. One key way to do this is to ensure that your business ranks as high as possible in Google search results. Research has shown that one of the most important factors in Google's ranking algorithm is the number of reviews a business has received. In this blog post, we'll explore why businesses with lots of reviews rank higher in Google and how this can improve your credibility with potential customers.

Why Reviews Matter for SEO

When it comes to search engine optimization (SEO), Google's algorithms are designed to prioritize businesses that offer the best user experience. One key factor in determining this is the number and quality of reviews a business has received. Google uses reviews as a way to gauge the quality of a business, as well as the trustworthiness of its products or services.

Businesses with lots of positive reviews are seen as more trustworthy and credible by both search engines and potential customers. In addition to boosting your ranking in search results, reviews can also improve the click-through rate (CTR) of your business's website. A high CTR indicates that more people are clicking through to your website, which in turn can lead to more conversions and increased revenue.

"Why Keeping Your Business Information Up to Date is Crucial for Local SEO Optimization on Google"
Keeping your business information details up to date is crucial for optimizing your local SEO on Google. When potential customers search for your business online, they rely on the information provided on your Google Business Profile (GBP) to make decisions about whether to visit your establishment or not.

Google uses the details you provide on your GBP, such as your business name, address, phone number, website, and hours of operation to ensure accurate and relevant search results for users. If any of this information is outdated or incorrect, it could negatively impact your online visibility, and potential customers may have trouble finding your business.

Updating your GBP information regularly helps to ensure that your business information is accurate and consistent across all online platforms, which in turn helps to improve your local SEO. This means that your business will be more likely to appear in search results when people search for businesses like yours in your area.

In addition to keeping your business information details up to date, regularly posting high-quality photos and responding to customer reviews can also improve your local SEO. So, make sure to take the time to update your GBP regularly.

Get Optimized - Your Local SEO Resource.
https://swepsv.com/free-strategy-call/

We talk a lot about local SEO and if you’ve recently updated your site, you may roll your eyes at the appearance of another article about local SEO.
We get it. Seriously, we do. At the risk of sounding like a broken record.

But…

The truth is that local SEO is changing all the time. It’s hard to keep up – and we’re a professional marketing firm! We know it can be hard for small business owners to stay abreast of changes and keep their sites optimized for local search.
To keep things simple, we’ve put together this local SEO resource for you to use to get the new year started right. I’ll focus on the quickest and easiest things you can do to ensure that your local SEO is up to scratch – and that the people in your target audience can find you.

Optimize Your Google Business Listing.

We’re not going to go into detail here about Google Business Profile because we’ve written about it extensively before when it was known as Google My Business, yes, it’s been updated, name change again. That said, please don’t ignore GBP in 2022! An optimized listing is your best friend when it comes to local SEO.
Make sure your listing is complete and up-to-date. Add pictures and your company logo if you haven’t already and do everything you can to encourage people to review your business on Google. It’ll help – we promise.

Standardize Your NAP Listings.

NAP (Name, Address, Phone number) listings are another topic I’ve covered extensively, but they’ve become more important than ever before thanks to Google’s Hawk update in 2017. Having even one listing that’s not standardized can and will dilute your online presence – so don’t skip this step.

Google your company and make sure that your NAP listing is identical everywhere it appears. Remember that even minor differences (Ave instead of Avenue) can cause a problem. We know this is a painstaking, nitpicky job, but it’s important.

Specify Your Service Area.

You own a local business and that means you have a service area. Even if you can technically ship anywhere, it’s still important to let potential customers know where you are.
There are two quick and simple ways to specify your service area without overhauling your entire website. You can:

1. Add a bulleted list of cities, districts, or neighborhoods you serve
2. Embed a map on your site with pins in your service areas (or indicating your locations if you have more than one)
This easy step will ensure that potential customers who land on your site will be able to see at a glance whether you serve the area where they live.

Create Geo-Targeted Landing Pages.

One of the changes included in Google Hawk is that Google made the target search areas smaller than they used to be to (at least in theory) prevent businesses from being elbowed out of search results. What we suggest is creating separate landing pages for each of your service areas. Here are some tips:

 Remember that Google ranks pages and not domain names, so there’s no limit on the number of geo-targeted landing pages you can have.
 Choose highly targeted local keywords and focus on one main keyword per page.
 Do not duplicate content too closely or Google will flag your pages.
 Whenever possible, link geo-targeted social proof to each page by including relevant reviews and testimonials.

Most searches these days are happening on mobile devices. Having geo-targeted pages will help you to take advantage of voice search, including “Near Me” searches that are relevant to your business.

Optimize Your Citation Pages.

Did you know that it’s common for consumers to spend only a few minutes on a business website before converting? That might sound unrealistic but it’s true – and it’s because they spend far more time on citation pages before buying anything.
Some of the best-known citation pages are review aggregation sites like Yelp and Yellow Pages, but there are dozens of others – some of which are specific to certain industries.

To get a jump on optimizing your citation pages, check out this master list from Moz, which lists common citation pages by industry. Then, Google your business and make your way through each citation. Keep in mind that, in some cases, it may be worthwhile to upgrade to a premium account, so you can add images and make the most of your business listing.

Use Schema Markup on Your Website.

Another local SEO factor that you may have overlooked until know is Schema markup. Schema tells Google how to display your pages when they come up in search – and it can make a big difference in how local customers feel about your page.
You should use Schema markup to provide potential customers with vital information about your business. Many small businesses don’t bother to include a ‘rich snippet” with their Schema markup. You can find more information about how to use Schema markup to boost your SEO here.
https://swepsv.com/free-strategy-call/

Focus on Reviews.

There’s no denying that social proof is the name of the game when it comes to local marketing. The research shows that almost all consumers pay at least some attention to online reviews, with many giving them as much credence as a personal recommendation.
You should start with Google My Business because those are the reviews that people are most likely to see when they search for your business. After that, you should look at review aggregation sites such as:

 Yelp
 Angie’s List
 BBB (Better Business Bureau)
 Facebook
 Industry-specific sites

We also suggest sending an email request to your subscribers asking them to leave reviews on Google. Link directly to your review page to make it easy for them to comply with your request.
Then, make it a company policy to ask customers for reviews. You can decide what makes sense. For service providers, the best bet is probably to reach out to clients when a job has been completed. For retail, you may want to have your cashiers remind customers to leave reviews when they check out.

For extra credibility, consider linking directly to your review pages from your website. That kind of transparency is something customers value and it will help your local SEO, too!

Getting optimized for 2022 doesn’t need to be complicated and you don’t need to spend a lot of time doing it. The quick fixes provided here will help you fine-tune your local SEO and grow your business this year.

SEO myth. “Keyword stuffing is good.” Turkey stuffing – great. Keyword stuffing – not great. Google sees straight through websites that litter their websites with the same keyword used multiple times. It deems that content as inauthentic and annoying, so won’t include it in its search results.
