Local SEO for Small Business

Putting your marketing dollars to work in a powerful way.

Be Found in Your Neighborhood

With nearly all of your potential customers beginning their search online you can’t afford NOT to be shown on the first page of Google.

You must have a local SEO strategy for your website if your customer base is “city specific” and local. Nearly two-thirds of all local customers search online to find the local business they are looking for. Whether you are a plumber, an electrician, a hairdresser, a dentist, or a restaurant owner, if you are not at the top of the rankings, your competitors will be.

Let us help your business get found where it matters the most.

Is Local SEO Right For You?

You do business in a specific local market(s).
Your customers are located in just a handful of cities at most and we can target your keywords with city modifiers (for example: dentist + city). This is typically how your potential customers are searching anyways.
You want to see quick (not instant) results.
These Local SEO Plans generally take a couple months to start showing full results (much faster than custom SEO). In reality you will likely start seeing ranking improvements in just a few weeks. Instant results are best achieved with a PayPerClick campaign – ask us for more details.
You are limited by budget.
By design these plans provide value at a very low cost compared to other custom SEO options on the market.
You have a very small website.
Simple websites that showcase a handful of services with the purpose of attracting email or phone leads work best in this style of campaign.
You have limited time or desire to be involved in the process.
Our Local SEO Works Plan is designed to be very hands-off for business owners, freeing up your time to focus on running your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the SEO Platform work?

Our SEO Platform operates in association with, but independently from, your website. Therefore, traditional SEO on-page optimization that is labor intensive is not required. The SEO Platform system creates a site within your site that is rich in exclusive, relevant content, perfectly optimized and supplied with keyword relevant inbound links.

Can I change my keywords during the campaign?

Clients achieve the best results when they commit to their keywords for at least 3 to 4 months. At this time, we can assess each keyword’s ranking, the action your website is getting as a result, and determine if alternate keywords could be better. SEO is a long-term strategy and changing keyword strategy too frequently is detrimental and can even cause a negative outcome.

Do you add content to my website?

Yes. We approach SEO/SEM from a keyword prospective and first help you find the best keywords to meet the website’s performance expectations. Once these keywords are determined and approved by you, we create new pages in order to integrate the target keywords into your website. This added keyword content helps raise your website’s authority when indexed by the Search Engines and contributes to achieving rankings for the keyword phrases we target. Our professional writers research content topics prior to writing the first draft. We do not change the content on your existing pages (ex. homepage or service pages).

When should I expect results?

Once keywords are approved and the SEO Platform is properly installed on a website, most of our clients see ranking start to improve within weeks – especially if they have no rankings or very poor rankings. With that said, we ask our clients to give the system 2 – 3 months to see the Local SEO Works Plan reach its full potential. It takes time for Google to reassess your website and determine where you should now rank based the work we are doing to your website.

How does this differ from PayPerClick (PPC)?

This Local SEO Works Plan focuses on Organic search results where your website needs to earn its rankings. PayPerClick provides near-instant traffic because you are bidding on your placement in Google and paying a “cost per click” each time a visitor goes to your website. PPC is a good short-term (although often pricey) solution when you need leads right away and SEO is a good long-term solution when you are wanting to develop a steady affordable source of traffic to your website.

What’s the difference between Local SEO and Custom SEO?

This Local SEO Package is designed specifically for small businesses with a limited budget, small website, and a local market in 1-2 cities. This plan is for businesses with limited time to be involved in the SEO process and for businesses that can give preapproval for new content. Ask to see our SEO Comparison if you aren’t sure if this is the right SEO fit for you.

Sherman MokAmberlea Physio & Rehab Clinic

We have worked with 1st on the List for about a year now. They do a great job and have increased our google rankings substantially as well rebuilding our old site to make it faster and easily editable. I highly recommend them to anyone who is tired of working with SEO firms that just take your money and never deliver.

Erik HardtJanssen Pest, General Manager

A true leader in SEO! As an Australian business, I wasn’t having much success working with SEO and marketing companies in Australia, and so a friend of mine suggested contacting 1st on the List. I haven’t looked back, and have been absolutely thrilled with the results and second to none service they provide! It wasn’t long after 1st of the List implemented certain strategies that I emailed him again to share the exciting news of having had the busiest week of inquiries to date! 1st on the List has been a huge blessing to work with. They took the time to answer each of my questions and promptly followed up on anything I needed. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough!! Thank you so much!!

Lysa FlynnMelbourne Voiceworks

I shot way up for pest control and termite control, good job! I am getting new customers every day and it’s starting to get cool here. This time last year it was slowing down quite a bit. I have added 5 to 6 new customers just Monday and Tuesday. Thank you both very much.
