I've noticed some local rankings moving around a lot lately. I'm curious what people are focusing on now. Are reviews, GBP activity, local links or on-page signals making the biggest difference for you?
What is working for local SEO after the latest Google changes?

One that quickly pushes the ranking is recent reviews flow. The next is a fully filled and optimized GBP profile, followed by local backlinks.

For a local business I’d still build both assets together: a complete GBP and a simple website with matching name, address and phone details. Recent genuine reviews can help visibility, but the website gives Google and customers a stable place to verify the business.

Keyword-rich reviews make the most impact on local businesses.

relevance and strong local signals still matter most. focus on keeping gbp active and accurate building relevant local links and useful location based content.
