LOCAL SEO

Local SEO Checklist

A focused local SEO checklist covering Google Business Profile, website basics, reviews, citations, links, and measurement.

Business identity

Define the canonical name, address, phone, website, hours, categories, and location information used across the website and major profiles.

Google Business Profile

Complete the profile accurately, select appropriate categories, keep hours current, add useful photos, and maintain review-response practices.

Website

Make service and location information easy to find, keep technical SEO clean, and create distinct pages only where users have genuinely different search needs.

Citations and links

Audit important listings, correct major errors, add relevant missing citations, and pursue legitimate local or industry links rather than treating directory volume as the whole strategy.
