Is your local business invisible when customers search "near me"? You're missing out on nearly half of all Google searches.

In this episode, I break down everything you need to know about Local SEO - and why it's completely different from regular SEO. If you serve customers in person or within a specific service area, this episode is a must-listen.

You'll discover:

  • Why 46% of Google searches have local intent (and what that means for your business)
  • The shocking truth: 76% of mobile local searchers visit a business within 24 hours
  • How businesses in the Google Local Pack get 93% more phone calls, clicks, and visits
  • Real examples of how small businesses beat major chains in local search results
  • The key differences between local SEO and regular SEO (they're not the same!)
  • Why your Google Business Profile is more important than your website for local visibility

Perfect for: Restaurant owners, retail shops, service providers, healthcare practices, salons, gyms, and any business with a physical location or local service area.

I'll share the exact strategy I used to get my STEM education center to dominate local search results - turning online searches into phone calls, walk-ins, and sales.

Ready to get found by local customers? This episode gives you the foundation to start showing up when your ideal clients search for businesses like yours.

Take action: Do a local search for your business today using your service + location. Are you in the top 3? If not, it's time to level up your local SEO game.
