The 80/20 rule applies to SEO.

A few core factors will get you the most results. I’ve found this to be especially true in less competitive spaces (such as local SEO).

Sometimes I find myself geeking out over insignificant factors.

I have to stop and ask myself, “Is this worth my time?”

Recently someone asked, "What moves the needle in local SEO?"

My reply was pretty concise.

You need:
  • locally relevant content
  • good on page
  • hyper-local + niche relevant links/citations
  • and a well-optimized GMB with reviews and posts.
There is a multitude of small things but this is what will drive 80% of your results.

I don’t think this is an over-simplification.
