Local positioning

When implementing local positioning activities, you should first focus on two elements:

• technical audit of the website,
• analysis and preparation of possible additional space for expanding the website (category tree)

The next stage of local positioning should be the implementation of the assumptions from the technical audit of the website so as to eliminate the main errors and thus contribute to Google’s indexing robots as possible simple could visit our website.

After optimizing the website, content is periodically implemented on the service and offer tabs, and the process of acquiring valuable, thematic links to our website begins.

If you want to implement local positioning as best as possible, you need to pay special attention to the first two elements. The proper start of local positioning then translates into local phrases in the search results, i.e. those that we care about in regional positioning.

The Google My Business card is an integral element of local positioning. If we want to start displaying local phrases in order to reach local customers, we undoubtedly need to ensure proper optimization of the mentioned Google business card.

The Google business card should include, among other things, the company’s contact details, opening hours, the services provided or products sold, as well as a valid link to our website.

If you want to focus on local positioning as much as possible, you should also carry out activities in the area of the mentioned Google My Business card on an ongoing basis. Periodically adding entries and interacting with users who leave opinions should have a positive impact on the search results of our business.

As a rule, by focusing on SEO activities in a specific location, we should be able to build the website’s visibility in a given region of operation at a slightly faster pace than in the case of e.g. nationwide activities. This will result from the fact that regional competitiveness may turn out to be less demanding compared to global competitiveness, e.g. for the entire country.

In the case of local positioning, you should select key phrases corresponding to a given location. In the vast majority of cases, these are local phrases that include the name of the town where we operate, e.g.: “Hairdressing salon Kraków”. Sometimes, depending on the budget or the area of business activity, it is worth trying to include the name of the district in the key phrase, e.g.: “Hairdresser’s office Warszawa Ursynów”.czowej nazwy dzielnicy, np.: “Gabinet fryzjerki Warszawa Ursynów”.

Local positioning can be useful in a situation where we want to operate in a specific area and have a limited financial budget. As a rule, local activities may turn out to be cheaper (which is not a rule) than nationwide activities. Local search results in Internet search engines generally have a slightly lower volume compared to global phrases, and this may, but does not always have to, involve a smaller financial outlay that will allow achieving satisfactory results.

Local positioning does not always apply to the area of one specific city. Increasing the visibility of a website in local activities often applies to an area covering several or even a dozen or so cities. Then you should refer to the so-called regional positioning. Therefore, local positioning may concern a voivodeship or several closely related cities, e.g. Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot.

It is worth remembering that local positioning may have different meanings and thus cover activities, either in a given region or even only in a given district of the city.

NAP business cards are, in other words, the company’s online business cards. The use of NAP business cards in the local positioning process contributes to increasing the credibility of the company in the eyes of potential customers. Additionally, NAP business cards allow you to obtain links to your website. Therefore, it is worth using them to diversify the link profile of our website. It should also be remembered that because NAP business cards are specific business cards of a website on the Internet, they should be used to link to the home page or the contact tab.

Positive opinions on Google Maps are very important for activities in a specific location. Geolocation of search means that more and more users use the Google My Business card and go to the website through it. Therefore, it is extremely important to optimize your business card and collect as many positive opinions as possible. The combination of these two elements can help to place our business card above the competition in a given area and thus, after appearing on Google maps, we can increase traffic to our website.

A consistent company address in the Google My Business Card and on the website is an element that cannot be forgotten. The lack of consistency in this matter may be negatively perceived by search engine robots and may thus limit the effects of the local SEO activities we conduct.

If you want to ensure the best possible position in search results for regional positioning, you should largely focus on acquiring valuable links to the website. As a rule, the link profile should be diversified in terms of the sources from which we obtain links, as well as in terms of anchors and the nature of the obtained links. Definitely, if we are focused on regional positioning, we should focus first on obtaining links from local sources, e.g. local news portals. In turn, NAP business cards should serve as an element to diversify the link profile.

Advertisements on local portals can also be an interesting, alternative source of links.

When deciding on SEO activities in the area of local positioning, the link-building process should be taken into account to a large extent. Good local positioning will not be possible without obtaining links from sources closely related to the location of your business. When implementing local SEO, you should base the linking process on various types of local websites. Depending on the town in which we operate, these will be, for example, local dailies with their own websites or local news websites.

If you want to appear as high as possible in local search results, it is also worth considering cooperation in the area of exchanging links with owners of other local, but non-competitive companies.
