New Academy Course: A Beginner’s Guide to Local SEO

Local search engine optimization (SEO) is an essential tool for local businesses and the marketers working with them. SEO is key to establishing and boosting the online presence of a business, which will naturally lead to greater interest and potentially more sales, too.

The simple truth is, if you want your business to be discovered by local customers, then you’ll need to utilize local SEO to enhance your discoverability on Google. With 8.5 billion Google searches being made every day—and nearly half of them having local intent—it’s easy to see just how important this is. So, if your business isn’t using local SEO to get a piece of the action, then it should be!

Our new BrightLocal Academy course—A Beginner’s Guide to Local SEO—will teach you all you need to know about local SEO, and you’ll also learn exactly what to do to get started. We’ve created this course in collaboration with SEO Specialist, Greg Gifford, and we’ve covered everything from website content, inbound links, and citations, to reviews and Google Business Profile (GBP).

During the twelve videos, Greg will teach you:

  • what local SEO is and why it’s important;
  • how to determine if your business needs local SEO;
  • which signals influence visibility in local search; and
  • how to optimize those signals for local search.

You’ll also gain access to a workbook to keep track of optimization tasks for your website and GBP, plus much more! 

Here’s Greg with an overview of the course:
