Local SEO Services
Dominate Your Market with Our Local SEO Solutions

Local SEO is the application of search engine strategies that can help your website rank higher in specific local markets. These techniques include the claiming of local directory listings, building local citations, and on-page optimization. SEO has proven to be an important marketing strategy for those with physical locations. For a more in-depth explanation, read our guide on: What is SEO?

SEO is more of a long-term strategy than a quick fix, but it consistently delivers the best ROI and is well worth the wait. It’s not easy to predict exactly when your website’s rankings will improve. Typically, however, our clients first see noticeable improvement in the first 90 days on their long tail keywords, and it takes around 180 days to see movement on their more competitive search terms.

Generally, the websites we work with don’t need a major overhaul to optimize them for SEO — just some work on the code or content of individual pages. Most of our clients choose to have CretMark staff make these changes. However, if you’d like to implement the necessary changes in-house, we can offer clear directives for doing so.

All of our SEO experts are located at our corporate headquarters, so you have a proven SEO team that routinely works together to create the best outcomes for our clients. That helps us deliver the best quality of service and oversee each campaign.

Yext will get you listed on the majority of prominent local phone directories, but if you make the decision to leave, that information could be lost. That is because they overlay their listing information on top of the data provided to these directories by the aggregators. Once you leave, the listings over-time will revert to what is published by the data aggregators. From a local SEO perspective, our solution is superior because our service works directly with the data aggregators.  Your business data will be distributed to hundreds of their online phone directory partners, giving you much greater coverage. If you ever decide to leave, and we hope you don’t, the data we submitted on your behalf would remain with the aggregators, thus not losing your investment. This would only change if they believe your business changed names, moved, or has a new phone number.

If you are targeting a regional audience for one of your business locations, the answer is yes. There is a very high correlation of consistent business listing information with successful local SEO campaigns.

Consistent data is one of the most important local search ranking factors. Google analyzes the data from the aggregators and phone directories. The consistency of that data is then compared to a businesses’ Google My Business listing. To have a reasonable chance of being considered for top listings in the local pack of the search results and Google Maps, a high percentage of the NAP data must be consistent. With a high percentage of search users clicking and calling from these listings on Google, it is important to maintain this data.

Having an active Google My Business page makes you eligible for display in Google Maps, but consistent local listings act as a catalyst for higher placements.
