How your website, Business Profile, listings, reviews and content work together.


## What local SEO covers

Local SEO helps a business show up when people search for nearby services. It includes the profile, the website, listings, reviews and content.


## Website basics

- A clear page for each important service
- Accurate contact details on every page
- Fast mobile pages
- Descriptive titles and headings
- Internal links between related services and locations

## Local pages that help

A location page is worth publishing when you genuinely serve the place and can add useful information, such as the areas you cover, local questions and how to contact you.


## Measuring progress

Use measured data: calls, direction requests, website clicks, impressions and leads. Treat third-party estimates cautiously.
