Local SEO packages don’t mean anything if you don’t know what you need and the basics about local SEO ranking criteria.
You’ll get all the information you need here in order to make good decisions about local SEO packages, and how they can skyrocket your business to the top of Google search (and other search engine) result pages.
What You Need To Know About Local SEO Packages
Have you ever wondered how one local business gets to the top of Google search rankings and others don’t?
If you ask one local SEO agency you may get one story, and a different story from another one.
This is the main thing you need to understand.
Even though Google may use more than 200 ranking criteria, five are the foundation for local SEO.
That goes for both the “Local Pack” and the “Organic” search results.
The following five Google search engine ranking criteria accounts for about 75% of the weighting factors.
I’ve created an acronym to help you easily remember them: LOGIC.
- Link signals
- On-page signals
- Google My Business signals
- Internet Review signals
- Citation signals
Here’s The Proof For Google Local SEO Criteria
One of the industry authorities for local search, MOZ, has done some in-depth research on SEO.
Here’s what they found in a nutshell.
There are eight dominate criteria that determine how Google ranks local businesses.
Of the eight, five are the most powerful, and they are within your control to varying degrees. If you’re interested in the details you can read more here.
First, let me clarify what are the Google local pack and the organic results for local SEO.
This is what the local pack and organic search results look like.
Google uses the same major criteria for both, but they are weighted differently.
This is the breakdown for the local pack.
And here is the breakdown for the organic listings.
You can see all eight of the major local SEO ranking factors in a little different order.
The LOGIC system includes the five most important criteria because they are significant and you have a lot of control over them.
The two that are completely out of your control are “behavioral signals” and “personalization,” and the “social signals,” are at the bottom of the lists with a 4% weighting factor, so these are something to focus on.
