Local On-Page Optimization
In order to be properly indexed in search, it’s critical for Google to be able to know what your business does and where you’re located through a crawl of your website. Our local search ranking techniques get the job done.
Optimizing your website for local search.
We ensure the search engines understand your business and your target area. We achieve this through schema markup, NAP data, and localized keyword optimization and “near me” searches.
Local Maps Optimization
Now more than ever it is imperative your business is found on Google Maps. We improve your maps listing by completing your Google Business profile, claiming missing listings, encouraging reviews, and standardizing NAP data.
Localized Content Marketing.
We optimize your content to draw in customers in your local area. Our goal is to work with you to develop informative, creative content that will keep your local audience coming back for more.
Link Building & Local Listing Citations
A strong link building strategy goes hand-in-hand with any effective local SEO packages. We help customers find you over your competition.
Reputable Industry Citations
One of the most important components of Google’s local ranking algorithm are business listing citations. We build/standardize citations from well-established and authoritative business listing portals (i.e., Yelp, Yellowpages, etc).
Hyperlocal Resources
In most areas there are websites that are well regarded in the community and are looked at strongly by the search engines. Our technology helps identify where you need to be listed.
Targeted Outreach
Through many research tools and tactics we’ve discovered over the years, we work hard to find authoritative websites in your industry that may offer a link building opportunity.
Accurate and Concise Reporting
Our reporting is always thorough, transparent, and easy-to-understand so you never feel kept in the dark about your local SEO marketing investment.
Detailed Ranking Reports
You should know where you stand when it comes to local search. We provide you with a dashboard offering detailed reports and screenshots on your search position for any given keyword. Reports are updated every 24 hours.
Link Building & Citation Reporting
We have no secrets. Our team provides ongoing reporting detailing every single link we have earned for your website because we are proud of what we build.
Website Analytic Reporting
Our client dashboard integrates with Google Analytics data to help give you direct insight into how our marketing strategies are impacting your business.
Frequently Asked Questions
Interested in learning about the latest local SEO strategies and trends? Browse our collection of valuable research, best practices, and guides.
What is Local SEO?
Local SEO is the application of search engine strategies that can help your website rank higher in specific local markets and near me searches. These techniques include the claiming of local directory listings, building local citations, and on-page optimization. SEO has proven to be an important marketing strategy for those with physical locations. For a more in-depth explanation, read our guide on: What is SEO?
When will we see results from our SEO campaign?
SEO is more of a long-term strategy than a quick fix, but it consistently delivers the best ROI and is well worth the wait. It’s not easy to predict exactly when your website’s rankings will improve. Typically, however, our clients first see noticeable improvement in the first 90 days on their long tail keywords, and it takes around 180 days to see movement on their more competitive search terms.
Will my website need any changes?
Generally, the websites we work with don’t need a major overhaul to optimize them for SEO — just some work on the code or content of individual pages. Most of our clients choose to have HigherVisibility staff make these changes. However, if you’d like to implement the necessary changes in-house, we can offer clear directives for doing so.
Is your work outsourced?
All of our SEO experts are located at our corporate headquarters, so you have a proven SEO team that routinely works together to create the best outcomes for our clients. That helps us deliver the best quality of service and oversee each campaign.
Do you manage Google Business Profile listings?
Yes. We can manage GBP listings for single location businesses as well as multi-units.
What if I don’t have a storefront or office?
If you don’t have a store front or office, this solution is probably not right for you. We do have other solutions available for companies that are considered service area business, that don’t want their address published. Contact us for a free consultation to see what solutions we have available for your specific business.
What is NAP data?
This is the name, address, and phone number information for a business. This is used to publish contact information about your business to various online phone directories and mapping services, allowing for potential customers to find you.
Why is your service better than Yext?
Yext will get you listed on the majority of prominent local phone directories, but if you make the decision to leave, that information could be lost. That is because they overlay their listing information on top of the data provided to these directories by the aggregators. Once you leave, the listings over-time will revert to what is published by the data aggregators. From a local SEO perspective, our solution is superior because our service works directly with the data aggregators. Your business data will be distributed to hundreds of their online phone directory partners, giving you much greater coverage. If you ever decide to leave, and we hope you don’t, the data we submitted on your behalf would remain with the aggregators, thus not losing your investment. This would only change if they believe your business changed names, moved, or has a new phone number.
Will this increase my leads or sales?
If you are targeting a regional audience for one of your business locations, the answer is yes. There is a very high correlation of consistent business listing information with successful local SEO campaigns. Higher search rankings typically translate into more leads and phone calls for a business.See Also: Why is SEO important?
What sets HigherVisibility apart?
Many SEO companies make impressive claims, but we have years of experience and the expertise to get proven results. Not only do we have SEO veterans on our team who have run effective SEO campaigns for some of the largest companies in America, but we have independent confirmation: Adam Heitzman, one of our Managing Partners, has been recognized as one of the country’s leading SEO experts by the Huffington Post, Forbes, and Search Engine Journal.
Why start Local SEO?
The higher you rank in the search engines, the greater the number of local customers you will see coming through your doors. Today’s consumers are using the local results of the search engines far more often than the Yellow Pages. If you aren’t visible on page 1 or the maps, you are missing out on paying customers. For more information, read: Why is SEO Important.
What do your local SEO services cost?
How much an SEO campaign will cost can vary according to a few factors: the specific keywords you’re targeting, your website’s history, your business location, and how much work will be needed to help you meet your goals. HigherVisibility provides cost-effective solutions for both large and small businesses, and we can design an SEO campaign that’s both affordable for you and gets real results. To get a free quote from one of our sales specialists, please call us at 888-598-4449.
Are there any guarantees of results?
There’s a reason why Google cautions against trusting companies that claim they can guarantee rankings. Because Google’s algorithm changes so often and so rapidly, it’s impossible to guarantee specific results. However, you vastly improve your chances when you choose a company that is a nationally known industry leader. HigherVisibility has a proven track record of results and a dedication to providing the highest level of service to each and every client.
What are data aggregators?
Infogroup, Neustar Localeze, Acxiom, and factual are the four largest business data aggregators. They have hundreds of partners worldwide such as the Yellow Pages, White Pages, Merchant Circle, 411 and more. Their business listing data powers the overwhelming majority of online phone directories and mapping services.
What is local listings management?
The management and distribution of name, address, and phone number data across business listing directories to maintain accurate and consistent contact information. This process is a fundamental building block for local search engine optimization efforts. See Also: What is SEO?
Why is it important to have consistent data?
Consistent data is one of the most important local search ranking factors. Google analyzes the data from the aggregators and phone directories. The consistency of that data is then compared to a businesses’ Google Business Profile listing. To have a reasonable chance of being considered for top listings in the local pack of the search results and Google Maps, a high percentage of the NAP data must be consistent. With a high percentage of search users clicking and calling from these listings on Google, it is important to maintain this data.
Will this help me show up in Google Maps?
Having an active Google My Business page makes you eligible for display in Google Maps, but consistent local listings act as a catalyst for higher placements.

How we helped Restoration Roofing
increase organic leads by over 400%
Although Restoration Roofing had been in operation since 2000, they wanted to help take the business to the next level. They were trying to handle their website and SEO all in-house. They came to the realization that they were spending so much time focusing on managing their website and improving their SEO that they were not able to focus on the actual business and thus they hadn’t experienced the growth they would have liked.
HigherVisibility performed local market research and was able to develop a strategic approach to help Restoration Roofing achieve their desired goals.

What to Look for in a Local SEO Service Provider
Industry Expertise and Success Stories
When looking to hire a local SEO agency, it is essential to consider their industry expertise and success stories. You can ask potential agencies if they have worked with businesses in your industry and inquire about case studies or testimonials from satisfied clients. This will give you an idea of their experience and knowledge in your specific field. Additionally, examining success stories will help you understand the agency’s approach and track record in delivering positive results for similar businesses.
Team Structure and Level of Experience
Another important factor to consider when hiring a local SEO agency is the team structure and levels of experience within the organization. A competent agency should have an organized team composed of experts in various aspects of SEO, such as content creation, technical SEO, and link building. Assessing the team’s level of experience can provide insight into their capability to handle your SEO needs.
To gather more information about the team, you can:
- Request employee bios highlighting their relevant work history
- Inquire about their levels of education and certifications in relevant areas
- Ask for details on how the team collaborates and communicates with clients
Client Retention Rate and Trustworthiness
Client retention rate is also a crucial factor while assessing a local SEO agency. High client retention rate usually indicates that the agency is providing consistent results and maintaining strong relationships with their clients. On the other hand, a low retention rate may signal potential issues with the agency’s services or operations.
To gauge trustworthiness, you can:
- Look for reviews, testimonials, or case studies from clients who have worked with the agency
- Check for the agency’s affiliations with reputable industry organizations or certification bodies
- Inquire about their measures to adhere to ethical SEO practices and avoid penalization from search engines
