Trying to sell a product or service without local & national SEO? It's like opening a bar in the middle of a desert

You might have the best beer in the world, but only a couple of uncommunicable camels will ever find out.

By not investing in local and national SEO, you are essentially hiding your business from thousands of potential customers who are already searching online for your products and services every single day.

Every day, truckloads of desperate shopaholics are fed straight to your greedy competitor’s door like sushi on a conveyor belt while you are sitting here contemplating why your market-share is falling behind.

This is not an exaggeration. Just take a look at these statistics…

● 46% of all Google searches include local intent
● 28% of all local searches led to sales
● Over 50% of “near me” searches led to actual store visits

Queued up and credit cards out of their wallets, these customers are dying to pay for your products and services, but they don’t know you exist.

But we can help you change that.

Why do I need Local SEO?

What are Local SEO and National SEO?

There are roughly 5.6 billion searches conducted on Google per day. Many of these searches are customers looking for a product or service or nearby locations where they can make a purchase. Whether your business shows up in the results when a user queries for a product or service is, essentially, the works of Local and National SEO.

Let’s say a hungry vegetarian searches for vegan restaurants on Google. Nearby restaurants will be listed in an order that benefits those that have a higher Local SEO score, based on ratings, reviews, proximity, and a host of technical factors like the business’s website, authority, and Google Business Profile. Optimizing these elements will significantly boost your sales. Just ask one of First Page’s clients.

Why is Local and National SEO so crucial for online marketing?

In this day and age, it’s impossible to grow a business without getting into digital marketing. As such, Local and National SEO is perhaps the single most effective way to connect you directly with customers who have an immediate need for your product or service. 88% of searches for local businesses on a mobile device led to either a call or visit within 24 hours.

Local SEO often appears even above Organic SEO for searches with local intent. If your Local and National SEO rankings are falling behind, customers will likely go to a competitor who is ranking higher, giving them better odds in the long run. If you don’t want this to happen, partner up with First Page, and we’ll help you catapult your ranking.

What kind of businesses benefit from Local and National SEO?

78% of location-based mobile phone searches on google led to an offline purchase. People roam the streets, suddenly get an impulse to purchase a product, search for it, and if your business happens to be on top of the results? Bam. The money is yours. Businesses with a physical location will benefit the most from Local SEO, as thousands of restaurants, cafes, and local retailers will tell you. Still, more and more online businesses with no physical premise are also starting to take advantage of it.

Businesses like gyms, hair salons, yoga instructors, and plumbing services will all benefit from Local SEO, as customers choose them based on geographic proximity. Don’t wait if you want to take advantage of your location and become a magnet for neighboring customers. Pair up with First Page, and let us take your Local SEO to the next level.

Should I invest in Local SEO or Social and Google ads?

Social ads are great for connecting with customers who have similar interests, and Google search ads can bring you directly to searchers of a specific service or product. They serve different functions but are both popular ways for businesses to reach potential customers. However, the benefit of Local SEO is that it connects you to customers who are MILES further down the customer journey, and much more likely to make an offline purchase in the immediate future.

If your budget for online marketing is ample, investing in everything can ensure that your brand is competitive on all ends. A comprehensive online marketing campaign that encompasses both Local SEO and social and Google ads will revolutionize your business. Talk to a digital strategist at First Page, and we’ll help you allocate your budget.

How do Local and National SEO differ from regular SEO?

For traditional organic SEO, search engines like Google look for relevant and reliable content. Traditional SEO improves your site’s overall visibility but does not necessarily focus on bringing in immediate local traffic. For Local SEO, search engines look for relevant and popular locations, such as a physical store or restaurant in the searcher’s proximity.

Google’s algorithm will determine whether someone’s intent is to find general information or to find a location nearby to make a purchase. In the latter case, having good Local SEO ensures that you appear above your competitors in search results and increase your chance of making a sale. Talk to a First Page strategist and learn how we can incorporate both traditional and Local SEO to help you increase sales now.

Who are the major search engines that affect Local and National SEO?

Google is by far the most popular search engine globally, maintaining 92.47% of the market share as of 2021. Depending on the region of your business and your target market, customers could also find your business through different channels. In Hong Kong, Yahoo! owns roughly 5% of the market share, while Bing and Baidu each take up about 1%.

No matter where you are or how fierce the competition is, First Page will always find a way to tweak your Local SEO so that whatever search engine your customers are using, they will always find you, and find you before your competitors. Talk to a digital strategist at First Page and find out how we can help you do that.

Can I do Local and National SEO without a website?

If your business has been around for a while, chances are you already have an online presence even without a website. Google picks up information on your business from social media, job websites, and platforms like Yelp, Agoda, and OpenRice that already have a profile for your business. You can also use Google Business Profile to let customers learn about your business and become available on search results.

Although Local SEO without a domain is possible, having even just a basic website will give you a host of significant advantages. But whether or not running your own website is within your plans, First Page can help you create a successful Local SEO campaign and put you ahead of the competition. Talk to our digital strategists and see what options are available for your budget.

How much will Local and National SEO Cost me?

Depending on the scope of the operation, fixing your Local and National SEO could be a multistep, interwoven process. A successful campaign will likely involve both on-page and off-page optimization and require the participation of a host of specialists, including SEO experts, content managers, copywriters, researchers, and web developers. Their level of expertise will likely determine the cost of your operation.

After finding initial success with your Local SEO rankings, First Page’s team of strategists will continue to manage your Google Business profile, website, social media and produce relevant local content to secure your position and extend your lead in the long run.

How do I win at Local SEO?

How should I measure the success of my Local and National SEO campaign?

Start by setting a precise goal for your Local SEO campaign. This could be getting phone calls, in-person visits, online form submissions, purchases, text or chat initiations, or web traffic. Build your campaign toward achieving that goal and periodically compare your results to previous numbers to see if you are getting a good return on investment.

Local keywords are an important source of leads, so don’t forget to track your ranking for relevant terms. While you can conduct your own keyword research and get a general idea of how you are ranking across keywords, subscribing to online tools such as SEMrush can provide you with important data and insights. Better yet, let First Page take full control of your Local SEO, and you can sit back, relax, and watch your numbers blow up.

What are the key ranking factors for Local and National SEO?

The top three factors in deciding where a business ranks on the results page of a local search are relevance, distance, and prominence. Google will decide how relevant you are to certain keywords by looking at your profile and information about your business. Your proximity to the searcher will matter, but your profile’s popularity and online reputation will be the most important factor.

While the location of your business will likely remain the same, and we can’t magically move wanting customers closer to you, relevance and prominence can both be massively improved if you know what you are doing. First Page has a proven secret strategy that will help you outrank your competitors for Local SEO. Talk to our digital strategists and get a head start on it now.

How long does it take for Local and National SEO to show results?

Several important factors will determine how long it takes your Local SEO campaign to show results, such as the competition in your industry and area, the kind of resources at your disposal (having a bigger budget and a website with high authority certainly helps), the goal you set for your campaign, and the overall effectiveness of your Local SEO strategy.

Based on these circumstances, fixing your Local SEO could take several weeks to several months. A poor online reputation, such as having bad reviews and ratings, will also affect your Local SEO ranking and take more time to fix. If you want the best results in the shortest time, talk to a digital strategist at First Page now.

How does reputation management affect my Local and National SEO?

If you didn’t know, customers often search for things like “best karaoke near me” or “highest rated restaurants in Central”. Google will list nearby businesses with popularity in mind, so it’s crucial to have good reviews and ratings to rank high on these searches. Even for searches that don’t ask for superiority, having good ratings will always rank you higher.

No matter how small in quantity, bad reviews will always sting like a toothache. Luckily, First Page has a proven strategy that helped hundreds of clients remove existing negative content and change their online reputation. If you are having a hard time ranking above your competitors due to poor ratings, this could be a great solution to improve your Local SEO. Talk to our digital strategist to learn more.

What are some key Local and National SEO strategies?

Building and strategically optimizing your Google Business Profile for local searches is a great way to start. If there is a website for your business, create a good landing page and make it as mobile-friendly as possible, as mobile searches account for offline purchases. Encourage your customers to write reviews, regularly upload local content, get quality backlinks and local citations, and you will see your rankings catapult.

Depending on the severity of competition and your available resources, you can focus on one or several of these proven strategies to help improve your Local SEO. Let First Page take over, and you can see all these strategies (and more) take effect without having to do it yourself. Learn more from our digital strategists now.

Why is having a mobile-friendly site so important for Local and National SEO?

Mobile users are much more likely to search for local businesses that they plan on visiting than desktop users. One survey has found that 61% of mobile users are more willing to call a nearby business if they have a mobile-friendly site, while another research found that 88% of local searches on mobile led to a call or visit within 24 hours.

You can improve your website by creating engaging local content, improving load speed, and targeting specific keywords. Mobile users also prefer things like a tap-to-call button, and mobile-friendly booking systems will be a game-changer for businesses like restaurants and salons. Talk to a digital strategist at First Page and learn how we can incorporate these strategies into your Local SEO campaign now.

Does language matter for Local and National SEO?

Like any other form of digital marketing such as traditional SEO, Google search ads, and social ads, catering to your local customer’s language preferences will always give you better results. A hungry banker roaming the streets of Hong Kong is just as likely to search for a pizza restaurant in English as in Chinese. Being able to rank high in both languages will definitely increase your chances.

Does that mean you have to do everything twice, once in Chinese and once in English? The answer is yes and no. Yes, because having a localized landing page for each language will definitely help your Local SEO. No, because you can just let First Page do it for you. We are one of few agencies in Hong Kong that provides top-quality copywriting and content creation in both languages. Get in touch with us now.

What should I look for in Local and National SEO services?

If your only goal is to get more visits from nearby customers, you might focus on ranking higher for local keywords. If you are getting outranked by competitors due to bad ratings, you might want to incorporate reputation management into your strategy. If you want to build an authoritative website and grow the long-term influence of your business, you might want to take a more content-focused approach and dominate the relevant keywords.

Depending on your goals and available resources, you might want to incorporate different strategies into your overall SEO campaign. No matter what your short and long-term goals are, First Page’s talented and experienced digital strategists will always find a solution to help you achieve them.
