Be visible where it counts the most!
Local SEO focuses on optimizing your online presence for local search results. These come from search queries in which the search location plays a major part. When users enter the query “florist” into a search engine, they are probably looking for the nearest shop where they can buy a bouquet. If Google can determine their location, the search results will display the nearest businesses.
Local search queries normally include the location of the sought-after business. If you’re going skiing in Kranjska Gora but don’t have the ski gear, your search query will probably be “ski rental Kranjska Gora”.
If you sell products or services from physical locations, your website has to be ready for this type of query. Good local SEO will make your company more visible to local searchers and you will be able to expand your customer base and increase sales in your physical stores!

Win locally with a comprehensive approach
In order to help local searchers find you quickly and draw more customers to your physical location, you need a solid foundation. Our experienced team can see you through all the crucial stages of this digital mission.
Local on-site SEO
Are the contact pages for your physical locations on your website serving no useful purpose? Enhance them with local keywords and helpful content to rank higher in local search results.
We can promote your physical locations with engaging local content (contact landing pages, unique introductory pages, etc.) that will integrate your online and offline sales.
Local off-site SEO
A good online reputation will take you far and beyond. You will need to have a strong online reputation to get into the highest-ranking search results for local searches easily: a high number of backlinks signals trustworthy and helpful content.
That is why we build up your local online reputation by gaining quality backlinks from websites related to your industry and location (online business directories, local online media, etc.).
Google Business Profile optimization
Google Business Profile (formerly called Google My Business) is a service that allows you to list essential information about your business (your offer, opening hours, contact info, etc.) and company location (address, map, accessibility info, parking options, etc.) online in Google search results and Google Maps. A neat and well-optimized Google Business profile is not only user-friendly, but also more likely to be served to searchers by Google, particularly in rich results under Google Places, which appear in organic search results and display Google’s top three suggestions for the most relevant local businesses.
Make the best of local SEO and let us help you rank higher in local Google search results!

Frequently asked questions
Why is local SEO so important for in-store sales?
Good local SEO will adjust your online presence to suit local inquiries, making it easier for customers browsing for a product or service in a specific location to find your company. This will grow your prospect base and increase in-store visits, boosting your sales in the process.
What is the difference between local and traditional SEO?
Much like traditional SEO, local SEO is all about making your website more visible in search results. With local SEO, however, the website and all related online content (e.g. Google Business Profile) is optimized for local queries. This means that we target searchers who are looking for products or services in a specific location. Our goal then is not only to increase organic traffic to your website, but to make sure, above all, that your stores are discovered and visited by as many internet users as possible.
What are the key success factors for local SEO?
Local SEO covers three main areas:
On-site local SEO: setting up and optimizing the landing subpages connected with your physical locations,
Off-site local SEO: obtaining high-quality backlinks from websites related to your field and industry,
Google Business Profile optimization: managing your main profile and the profiles of individual businesses (business and contact information, keywords, etc.)
Why is an optimized Google Business Profile so vital?
A Google Business Profile gives searchers quick access to key information on your stores (your offer, opening hours, phone number, e-mail address), making it easier for them to find or contact you. Google responds to local queries with so-called rich results, offering recommendations for the best companies to turn to given the user’s location. Since these appear above organic search results, it is all the more crucial for your company profile to rank high and be as visible as possible.
