It’s especially helpful for businesses with physical locations like restaurants, medical clinics, dentists, and mechanics, as well as local service providers like plumbers and tutors.
Local SEO is one of the most cost-effective marketing strategies available. It specifically targets customers who are already searching for the products or services you offer, making it an effective way to attract potential clients. To avoid crowding the search result pages with international businesses that have high budgets and resources, Google gives the opportunity for local businesses to appear on the first page via the local pack, also known as the 3-Pack which is the first 3 local results when users search with keywords with ‘near me’ or a location-specific search). As a local business, your aim is to optimize for local search and drive traffic to your website through this local pack.
