How We Helped Will Win Local SEO With Just The Basics (A Masterclass)
This is a longer post than usual but it will be packed with valuable information so you will want to read the whole thing.... you wont be disappointed. 🧐 You most likely joined this community because you're juggling multiple tasks at your business, and you are well aware that you would be crazy not to leverage AI to do as many of them as possible. If you don't, your competitor will—and they'll absolutely steamroll you. But there's a common mistake: shiny object syndrome. 🤩 With AI tools releasing upgrades every week, it's easy to think that the latest tool will solve all your problems and that you should learn and integrate it as quickly as possible. The truth is, for most things, you just need to do the basics right—only now you can do them faster with AI. No matter how smart these tools are (for now), some fundamental rules still apply: "quality of output is directly related to the quality of input" (garbage in, garbage out). If your basics aren't solid, the more complex efforts will fall apart. Here's a real example where we helped one of our members in our Premium Community finally get his local SEO right. Within just a few weeks of focusing on the basics, he not only started ranking on the first page of Google for local keywords, but also began seeing leads come in from his Google My Business profile, simply because it wasn't optimised correctly. Here is the post were this came from for reference. 🟢Some background🟢 Will has a local business and had been trying to rank for the past two years. In one quick onboarding session, we discovered a few simple yet crucial things that were holding his business back from ranking well. 📍📍📍1. Google My Business Not Optimized📍📍📍 - This is one of the lowest-hanging fruits that most businesses miss right away. 🏗️🏗️🏗️2. No Specific Local SEO Pages for Each City🏗️🏗️🏗️ - This might not be as basic, but it's an easy win that can yield massive results fairly quickly.
