Local Business + SEO = Customers Who Can Find You, Trust You, Buy From You

A bakery in Torrance made incredible sourdough bread. People who tried it raved about it. The only problem? Unless you drove past the shop, you’d never know it existed.

When we optimized their site for local SEO, they went from invisible to ranking in the top three for “Torrance bakery” — and weekend sales jumped 35%.

What Local SEO Actually Is

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is simply helping Google understand:

• Who you are
• Where you are
• Why you’re relevant

Local SEO focuses on people near you who are actively searching for what you offer.

Why Local SEO Matters

• 46% of all Google searches have local intent.
• People searching locally are usually ready to buy soon.
• If your competitors rank higher, they get the calls — not you.

The Key Ingredients of Local SEO

1. Google Business Profile – Claim and fill out every section. Add photos. Post updates.
2. Local Keywords – Phrases like “Carson web design” or “South Bay roofing contractor” in your site copy.
3. Consistent Listings – Your name, address, and phone number match exactly across directories.
4. Customer Reviews – Ask for them regularly. Respond to every one.
5. Local Content – Blog posts, guides, or news relevant to your area.
