What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the practice of helping a business show up for nearby, intent-driven searches — the "near me" and "in [town]" queries that lead to a call, a visit or a booking. Unlike general SEO, which competes for web-wide rankings, local SEO centers on the Google map results and is driven largely by your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and the consistency of your business information across the web. For most local businesses, optimizing the profile is the highest-leverage local-SEO work there is.
Local SEO vs. regular SEO
Regular SEO is about ranking web pages in the standard search results. Local SEO is about ranking your business in the map pack and local finder for searches with local intent. They overlap, but local SEO leans on your profile, reviews and local signals rather than purely on website content and links.
The main ingredients
A complete and accurate Google Business Profile, a steady flow of genuine reviews, consistent name/address/phone details everywhere your business is listed, and relevant categories and services. These are the levers that move local visibility.
