Local SEO FAQs
Local SEO focuses on making sure your website and your business listings are visible to users in your local area. A strong local SEO strategy helps increase your qualified website traffic – and can even improve your in-store visits.
Like any SEO campaign, there are no guarantees – and any SEO telling you otherwise is not worth engaging with. SEO is an everchanging industry, and results can never be guaranteed. A strong local SEO strategy is also flexible; we strategize, implement, monitor, and evolve our strategies based on current results.
Local citations are publications of your essential business information online. They show the name, address, and phone number of your business and live in a vast ecosystem of websites, apps, and maps, including popular destinations like Google Maps, social networks such as Facebook, and local online business directories like Foursquare, Waze, and Yelp. There are also industry and geo-specific citations as well. FourFront continuously monitors and updates your business information on existing listings and finds new relevant sites that improve your local presence.

The quality and relevance of your content determines how well your website ranks. Analyzing and optimizing content to match audience interests is one of our core competencies. We can work with your team to identify localized content ideas, research and provide content outlines, or provide recommendations to improve existing content.
Reviews are how most consumers determine the quality of your products and services. Since reviews help to build your online reputation, search engines use them as a key factor in local search rankings and evaluating the trustworthiness of your business. In addition to evaluating reputation, we can help you set up a system to collect new reviews and configure notifications to monitor and respond in a timely manner.
Schema markup are codes that are added to websites to help search engines understand and easily extract certain types of data for indexing. Using schema for local SEO lets search engines know details about your products, services, and target service areas. Search engines also use this data to create rich snippets for your business that will help you stand out from your competitors.
