Get Your Business On The 1st Page
Google Determines Local Search Rankings With The Following Ranking Criteria:
- Relevance
- Distance
- Prominence
Let’s break these down…
Relevance:
Relevance refers to how well a local business listing matches what someone is searching for. For example, if someone is searching for a “plumber near me”… Your plumbing business website and online profiles need to clearly and completely present your business information that you ARE a local plumbing company in the area the person is searching within. Adding your complete and detailed business information will help Google better understand your business to match you to local search results.

Distance:
Distance is how far the search result (your business) is from the search term being used. (ex. “Orlando FL Plumbers”) Google tends to present local search results (businesses) that are within the area of the searcher or the search term being used. If the user does not specify the location, Google will calculate distance based on what is known about the user’s location with GPS, etc.
Action Step: Develop “Local Service Pages” on your website for all areas you provide services to. (Free guide coming soon)
Prominence:
Prominence is based on the information that Google has about a business from across the web. This includes:
Directory submissions (citations), Articles published on websites, Backlinks to your website, & Reviews across the web.
