Local SEO Atlanta GA

According to Google, a local business profile is what puts your business on the map, literally, Google Maps. It is officially called Google Business Profile or GBP. You can optimize your website perfectly, but if you don't have a GBP, and also have it and your website linked, you are missing out on all sorts of traffic to your website. Earlier this year, Google did a major update. Once upon a time we only needed to sprinkle a few keywords around our website. Now Google requires your website and GBP to be optimized and linked correctly, to rank in the top 3 pack. When someone says local SEO, it should mean GBP, with maps. If you don't have a GBP, someone can go in and steal your Google listing on maps.

Have you noticed that your competitors have increased their visibility on the web? Atlanta is full of very intelligent people who have the desire and drive to succeed. When Atlanta, as a group, ups their game to improve their SEO, Google raises the bar for us all. I don't know if you remember when keywords were the only requirement. That was only a few years ago. Now there is so much more. Google is forcing us to connect more and more pieces of the puzzle that last year weren't even a consideration. I remember when a top ranking for a particular kind of business or niche or a local business was simple. If you want to be found by your target audience on the web you need more than FaceBook page. Now ranking as a local business in Atlanta requires a website linked to a GBP. Both must be optimized. The more crowed your business niche, the more optimization you will need. Did you know that 89% of people who find you on Meta (FB) search Google first?
