When someone searches for "AC repair near me" or "web designer in Mohali", Google shows a map with a handful of local businesses before the regular results. Appearing in that local pack can bring a steady flow of calls and visits. Local SEO is the work of earning that position.
Your Google Business Profile
Your profile is the foundation of local search.
- Choose the most accurate primary category, and add secondary categories that apply.
- Enter your exact business name, address, phone number, website and opening hours.
- Add your services or products with descriptions.
- Upload real photos of your premises, team and work.
- Post updates and offers regularly.
- Answer questions people ask on your profile.
Reviews
Reviews influence both rankings and customers' decisions.
- Ask satisfied customers for an honest review, with a direct link to make it easy.
- Reply to every review — thank positive reviewers and respond calmly and helpfully to negative ones.
- Never buy or fake reviews; it breaks platform rules and misleads customers.
Consistent business details
Your business name, address and phone number should be identical on your website, Google profile, social media and directories. Inconsistencies confuse search engines and customers.
Your website
Put your address and phone number on your contact page and footer, embed a map and mention the areas you serve.
Location pages — carefully
Create location pages only where you genuinely serve customers, with genuinely local information — projects completed there, local contact details, area-specific services. Dozens of near-identical pages with only the city name changed are treated as low-quality and can harm your site.
Local links
Local business associations, chambers of commerce, sponsorships and local news coverage provide valuable local links.
