All local SEO packages from Valve+Meter Performance Marketing include an SEO audit. Our local SEO audit is a comprehensive review of your current website, marketing platforms, reputation management, and your additional local SEO situation.
Your local SEO audit identifies areas for improvement in local search engine rankings, including on-page, off-page, and technical SEO improvements.
Earning better search results relies on optimal website structure, filling content gaps, keywords, inbound links, internal links, meta descriptions, off-site citations, and other factors.
Local SEO packages may include a thorough keyword audit.
Local keyword research helps identify the specific keywords and phrases used in your local market. The vernacular of regions across the country varies wildly in service industries.
A local keyword audit helps your business optimize web pages using the phrases your target audience uses instead of generic words. This has a significant impact on local rankings and overall search engine visibility.
Local SEO services include optimizing existing pages on your website. Optimizing content for local search engine rankings includes applying best practices across the content, combined with keyword research.
Local search engine optimization specialists use optimization to quickly help your site rank in search engines for your most-vital pages.
If your website was designed by graphic designers or another digital marketing agency, it may have issues that can be improved. Some of the most-common fixes for on-page local SEO involve optimizing website structure, headings, titles, and meta tags to include local keywords.
Web developers work within our local SEO services team to improve page load times and ensure mobile responsiveness. Search results and overall organic traffic to your existing web pages can be improved with affordable local SEO services.
The user experience is key to local SEO. Technical SEO considers key factors like site speed, broken links, and other site errors.
Improving these elements has a positive impact on your user experience and search engine performance. Lower bounce rates, increased page views per user, and average session per user help vault your webpages onto page 1.
Our team monitors your site performance and fixes any errors that can impede your success.
Your dedicated local SEO specialist works to acquire inbound links from high-authority websites.
As a local SEO marketing company, Valve+Meter views link building as an essential progression of content marketing. Creating high-quality, relevant content earns the attention and recognition of other websites.
Local link building includes sharing content with other businesses and media groups in your market. Inbound links from these sources to your website signal to search engines that your website is credible and relevant.
This is the process of optimizing your Google My Business profile to improve local search engine rankings and attract more local customers.
Formerly known as Google My Business, your Google Business Profile (GBP) is often the first impression potential customers form about your organization.
Valve+Meter’s local SEO services specialize in GBP optimization, including adding accurate and relevant information to your profile. Additional optimization methods include adding high-quality images, product and service information, responding to customer reviews, and creating posts. GBP is one of the most-powerful local citations on the internet today.
Our local SEO packages include a regular cadence of posts, images, and engagement with potential customers.
Just like with Google My Business, a strong GBP is vital to how your business appears in Google’s local pack. Google Maps and map pack results frequently appear in search results, especially as more users search local businesses on mobile devices.
One of the most important elements for local business SEO is review management. Valve+Meter works to help you earn, monitor, and respond to online reviews. Local rankings in Google Maps and other directories can be improved by a high-number of positive reviews.
Review management for local SEO creates a strategy to respond to positive and negative reviews, address customer inquiries, and improve your overall online reputation.
Organic traffic comes from many channels beyond search. The best local SEO company will consider social media, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other platforms, as sources for potential new customers.
Beyond review management on Google, the process of managing your business’s online reputation ensures your audience and search engines view the business in a positive light. Reputation management involves monitoring online directories, review sites, and social media, and promoting positive customer experiences.
Online directories, partner websites, and even your channels need to be monitored consistently for accurate information.
The process of managing your business’s name, address, and phone number (NAP) across all online platforms and directories is known as citation management. Local citations must be true and accurate so your customers can find your phone, address, URL, social platforms, and other essential contact information.
Local SEO solutions from Valve+Meter use automation to ensure your online visibility is accurate in real time. As well as helping potential customers find your business, local citation management ensures your business’ NAP is consistent and accurate, which improves local search engine rankings.
Our performance in local SEO services is driven by data. The goal of local SEO goes beyond increasing search results and website traffic.
Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is the ultimate goal. This process improves the percentage of website visitors who take a desired action. Local search optimization increases leads who make a purchase, visit your business, or fill out a form.
Valve+Meter’s conversion rate optimization services involve testing and optimizing various elements of your website, such as layout, content, and calls-to-action, to improve the likelihood of conversion.
By targeting local consumers, local SEO can increase your return on investment (ROI) or, more specifically, return on marketing spend (ROMS). CRO accounts for the sources of leads and helps to scale the most-effective marketing strategies.
Our in-house technical SEO experts utilize the best local SEO tools to increase your online visibility. Our professionals specialize in identifying the best structure, including location-based keywords within your URL, meta description, and page titles.
Local optimization includes strengthening click-through rate, internal and inbound link building, and overall user experience (UI/UX) across your website.

Building Own Local Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Strategy
Not Ready For Professional Marketing?
Local search engine optimization is a complex practice. For some businesses, there are ways to improve your local SEO on your own. If you are considering building your own marketing strategy, there are a few basic steps to optimizing your local business marketing.
Create a Google Business Profile
Formerly known as Google My Business, creating a Google Business Profile account is essential because it allows Google to verify your business.
Once you claim your business and Google authenticates it, your business may appear in Google local searches.
A Google Business Profile account is free and provides potential customers with useful information about your business, including hours of operation, phone number, address, website, and directions to get there.
Creating a GBP account can even help you show up within the local listings on Google Maps.
Actively managing your Google Business Profile helps users learn more about your business or organization. You should actively post to your account, ask for reviews, manage reviews both positive and negative, and regularly update images of your location.
Audit and Optimize Your Website for Local SEO
This includes the homepage, all primary pages, and especially blog posts. Search engine optimization includes creating content that references the cities, neighborhoods, states, or regions you serve.
Location-specific pages help algorithms and visitors to your website know where you offer products or services.
Research Local Keywords
The heart of strong local search engine optimization is highly relevant keywords. Invest in keyword research software and education to learn how to perform keyword research specific to your business.
There are free tools with limited capabilities and paid keyword tools available online.
Earn High-Quality Backlinks
Reach out to local sources for backlink opportunities. These include similar businesses, local business organizations, and in-network partners.
This can increase your local presence, brand authority, Google ranking, and strengthen the number of qualified leads, especially if inbound links are from high-traffic websites.
Local Citation Audit and Management
A top priority for any local SEO service provider is citation management. You can perform an audit by searching for your business name, address, phone number, and other information. When you find incorrect information, most directories have a contact form you can use to ask that your listing be revised.
This process can be time-consuming, but the wrong information about your business can be costly. There are a number of online services that can help with citation management for a fee.
Ongoing Training for Your Marketing Team
Local search engine optimization is always adapting. As algorithm updates occur, local SEO strategies evolve. Equipping your internal team with ongoing training help your business stay ahead of competitors.
