In 2024, Google quietly made one of its biggest shifts yet — updating its algorithm to favor organic, local results over paid ads, in an effort to compete with rising ad saturation on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. This means your Google presence — especially your Google Business Profile — is now more critical than ever for getting found by nearby customers.

Local SEO is the strategy of optimizing your online presence to appear in front of people searching for services in your area.

It includes:

- Optimizing your Google Business Profile (GBP) for maximum visibility

- Building and protecting your online reputation through reviews

- Ensuring your business shows up in Google Maps and local searches

Done right, Local SEO helps you outrank competitors, attract high-intent leads, and build long-term trust — without paying for every click.
