I have clients that are home service providers, i.e. electricians and roofers, they serve an area and they do not have a brick and mortor office location. My question is two fold. First, how do you specify an area as opposed to a specific address on business profiles and the website? Second, search for these services are local searches, so how do search engines determine based on a service area, that has multiple zip codes, which providers are closest to the geolocation an individual is searching from?

Thanks @Alex for sharing awesome checklist to start with local SEO. Most of them I was already aware of, but some are new to me.
I have one suggestion to Google My Business team – if they can provide options to add social media links to ‘My Business page’, it will be easy to understand for users to go through the social platforms of that particular company. Nowadays, it’s very important to have social signals to your websites and these social signals play a significant role in boosting the website/company’s authority.
What say??

Hi Shyam

There is no easy solution to this. It has to be done manually.

Thanks

This is such a useful article! Thank you so much, Alex.

I have bookmarked this for future reference. 🙂 One question – How do you handle NAP when there is an update in address or phone number?

The data would have gone to so many websites, how can one practically change it everywhere? Would love to know your inputs!

Hey Alex,

That’s a great list of local SEO tips! Just working on a few of these will boost local exposure. Another thing I could add is to create targeted local content or local landing pages so you could rank on locations you target.

We’ve found that these local landing pages are excellent, particularly for salons and tradie marketing.

Overall, this is a very comprehensive blog mate!

Cheers,
Chris
