Google and other search engines’ primary aim is to provide their users with the best search results that meet the intent of their search criteria. Because the majority of consumers are using the web to shop locally, local relevance has become a critical factor for businesses that service a specific geographic area. While overall domain authority has always been a critical aspect of search engine visibility, studies show that local relevance often trumps domain authority for local queries. For example if you have one page about a particular local market on a large website with thousands of pages and compare that to a website that is all about that one market, the local website has a much higher relevance to your products/services in that local market and will usually win out even though it has nowhere near the level of overall domain authority.
While there are many business listing management solutions on the market today, very few of them have a solution for local and industry business listing websites that provide a strong signal for local relevance. MarketSnare provides a business listing management solution that was designed to meet the challenges of multi-location businesses. Our turnkey solution is actively managed by a team of US based digital marketing professionals who utilizes your business location profile data to ensure your listings are providing maximum impact to your local visibility objectives. What’s more, we have over 1,600 national, local, and industry-specific directories in our network, which means your business gets continually growing, customized coverage on the most authoritative directories for your business that build your local relevance and propel your search ranking upward.
Building local trust and confidence in your business is important for both search engine bots and the people that will ultimately become your customers. From the perspective of search ranking, modern search engines scour the web for trust signals that verify your business is legitimate and credible. This is done primarily by looking at other business listing websites, review websites, industry directories, and relevant websites in your local community and comparing that information to your location website to build confidence that you are who you say you are. Search engines, like humans, also take a look at your reviews to determine if they should send their customers your way.
Now that average review stars are shown in many SERP results, great search rankings will do you little good if your reviews are poor. Did you know that 91% of consumers read reviews to judge whether a local business is good or bad?2 As a multi-location brand, managing online reviews across all of your locations is an essential piece of the local marketing puzzle that impacts your local search visibility, consumer trust, AND conversion rate. However, without the right tools, managing and replying to local reviews is arduous. What’s worse, if you’re simply spot-checking reviews, you’re probably discovering problems with your brand reputation at the local level after it’s already too late.
