Anyone Else Feel Like SEO Isn’t Working for Local Businesses Anymore?

For local SEO, reviews matter more than anything. Focus on getting reviews—it makes a bigger impact than backlinks.

We already have over 200 reviews with a 4.7-star average. But still, traffic is down.

That might just be because of location-based search results. Proximity matters a lot.

Local SEO is still the best. You just need good service pages, a well-organized Google profile, and lots of reviews.

SEO used to be easier, but it’s gotten complicated. Now I just recommend basic on-page optimization and focus on PPC.

Local SEO works, but you need the right strategy. And for PPC, make sure your landing pages are solid before running ads.

Backlinks won’t help much. Focus on reviews and maybe try Google LSA ads—they show up above regular search results.
