2 Golden rules for Local SEO

...social media and a variety of other aspects have much more of an influence in how Google ranks a site in it's search engines...

Are you joking ?

In world where you can buy 10 000 followers for just few bucks, weight social media more than let we say 2% it's just shot in the foot.
Also you can simple buy reviews and any other things which can be simple hacked.
Google predicted it very well, for this reason weight more other important factors, because they are heavy to hack,
especially that 99% of oldschool SEO's don't know them.

They are bought fairy tale about Domain authority.

@safeSEOboost I love when supermod thinking that is Guru, because it's supermod.
Sorry, but it not working in this way.
To be honest, talking to somebody "nob", where you don't know who is from second side, it's just very funny.
Sometimes people doing it to hide own weak.
Especially If they don't have any arguments and/or enough knowledge,
then trying to confirm their competences by said that they're supermod.
But also often in real life, they are very poor people.
I saw this scenario many times.

And I am not talking about you, I am talking in general.


sorry to interrupt, we don't think he is a guru, because he is super mod. Most of the members in bhw know him before he is a mod. He is well known for his knowledge, when comes to local SEO. In that way we respect him.

In addition, I also think, you can't be a new member joined yesterday, if it is, then good to see someone new posting some debatable content, sometimes could bring good info to the table.

I don't know why, but your name rings me bell...
 
... you can't be a new member joined yesterday...

I don't understand why you thinking in this way, can you explain me it please ?


... why did you make the original post and get offended ....

I had in mind share a lot of more information, and I was started like always from beginning, it mean patent, which been point of many tests to confirm how it working exactly together with some other patents.

Then few models of tests with results which I did over few months on several sites and thereafter how it working until now.
But as only I wrote some lines, 2 guys attack me without any reason with this kind of sentences:

You are full of crap...

and this:

...when noobs ...

So, after those 2 sentences, I realized that I want to share very valuable information for free, and people do not appreciate it.
For this reason, I quickly lost this idea. Anyway they was learning something new what was verified and what I use all time.

But I see, that some people just desire stay in stone age, with old outdated seo tactics.
So, if they really desire it, I don't want destroy their dreams and allow them stay where they are.

Where @BassTrackerBoats as supermod even don't know that Google all time use Pagerank.
I think, that it's happen because he believed in fake propaganda "Pagerank is dead",
which we had few years ago. In other words: he followed fake gurus.

All of us, make mistakes, but only part of people have enoght honor to say simple "sorry"

You're wrong mate.
Did you already read this patent ?
I don't think so.

Short cite: "The georanker 304 provides a unique ranking technique using local links to pages between locally linked web sites. In general, a popular web site often has other web sites linked to it."

It's just small example for this long patent.
So, please do not comment if you don't know what you talking about...

how do you get local links?
 
i cant see what your arguing about surely GregFromMoonsy has some valid points ,after all isnt a citation or review generally from somewhere local ? havent we known for years having your server based in your country of origin has seo benefits ? i say thanks for link i at least take a read

We have misunderstanding about term "Local SEO"
You talking about country based SEO, for which Google use different set of algorithms, where the most important signals (except most known such anchor text): TLD, IP, Language

Example term in local seo is [keyword] near me - for which Google return local pages only.
The target can be a city, county or state, such NY.

An example: plumber have a site in New York.
Because this kind of sites never will get high power via links, Google using different algorithm to rank local sites, about which I am talking.

And this algorithm weigh ranking signals in other way and also in other way local sites are indexed.

If any unexperienced SEO will start build SEO by oldschool SEO tactics, such care about DA, as the result site can loose local rank and disappear from local results.

Also, there is clear for Google, when our plumber from NY getting links for example from Europe or even Dallas TX - Google know that those links are false.
Because with natural links - it never happen

how do you get local links?

By build PBN on domain where was a local site from given region, which giving proper GR (Geo Rank) for my target. And this GR allow to move this site on 1st position in Google very easy.

I can guarantee you much better results than your competitors, when you doing local SEO in United States, where I did tests and where I am collaborate with SEO agencies using this method.

And very important point: you need to have previous NAP presented at site, if you will change or delete it - your PBN will fail.

I am sure that you'll be shocked, how good it working.
So, do not forget to share results here ;)

OP this was one crazy thread read in a while. I am not yet clear on the local links and GEO Rank thing, I am sure not many does. Can you share some indepth info on the same? Maybe in this thread or on a new thread?
 
The most important aspect of local SEO is the on site SEO. Hands down that is #1.

What?! is this true? On site SEO is the most important aspect of local SEO? Do you have any resources to back this claim up? I can't believe citations comes second.

My own test sites and my client sites is why I make that claim.

Fair enough. I don't have personal experience so I'm inclined to believe you but it's still shocking from a logical standpoint. Can you recommend me resources for ranking a site locally? Say I want to rank in the Google Map Pack for Law keywords like "birth injury lawfirm Chicago" etc, what would be a great way to do that?

Resources for that are best found by testing, testing and then testing.

I would not go with any other resource than that.

I completely agree with you. I'm a big proponent of testing. The more I read, the more I realize that testing everything yourself is essential. However, I guess I'm trying to save a little dime trying to understand the fundamentals before I spent money (which I have). Anyways, thanks for your help.

@BassTrackerBoats.
