What is local SEO?
Local SEO or local search engine optimisation is about improving the visibility of your website for a specific location or area. It applies the same principles of regular SEO (on-site, off-site, content, links), but it applies them to users in a specific service area.
Local SEO is ideal for businesses that want to target users in a predefined service area. Whether that’s because you’re a plumber or roofer that can only service users in a specific area of the city, or because you’re a bricks and mortar business that wants to attract users to your store front – the principles are the same.
Local search engine optimisation is more effective now than ever before. Given that more than half of all searches come from mobile devices and Google personalises results based on the location of the users, it’s essential for businesses to consider location-centric keywords in their SEO.
We work with small and large clients to understand where their target audience is located and make strategic decisions based on this data. Local search marketing isn’t about reaching the most customers, it’s about reaching the right customers more effectively and efficiently.

At Safari Digital, we love doing local SEO for one very good reason – because conversion rates are through the roof. More so than any other facet of online marketing, local services have the potential to completely transform your business.
It’s simple, users turn to Google (and other searches engines) to find businesses in their area. Businesses that don’t have an SEO strategy in place are missing out on the opportunity to capture valuable leads in their area.

At Safari Digital, we are an SEO company helping small to medium business to grow with laser-targeted local strategies. We offer complete SEO for companies of all sizes, but we love to do local SEO for one really good reason – they deliver a ridiculous ROI for our clients.
