Local SEO - Bluehive Interactive

A must for local businesses.

Local-search visibility vs. SEO: Does your provider know the difference?

Local SEO isn’t another flavor of SEO — it’s an entirely distinct discipline. If your local SEO company isn’t well-versed in the difference, you may be missing critical opportunities to reach your best potential customers.

If your customers are in your neighborhood rather than nationwide, local SEO is essential to a successful marketing strategy. This is especially important if your local market is saturated with similar competitors. With search engines putting greater emphasis on delivering local results to users’ queries, it’s a given that competitors with a complete local SEO plan in place will be found first.

Local SEO FAQs

How much does your local SEO services cost?

Our pricing is based on project size. We work with small businesses to big brands with 1000’s of locations and find that packages don’t work well. Generally, for continual work we have a minimum budget of $1500 per month.

What type of clients do you work with?

We work with lawyers, furniture stores, medical professionals, insurance companies, storage units, plumbers, electricians, and other very random industries. We are always up for a challenge and many principles are universal in local search. We like to work with good people. That is our major determining factor.

How long does it take to rank?

Rankings do not equal return on investment. While we track rankings, the main things we focus on are website traffic, phone calls, form fill, and sales. Generally speaking, when we start working on a website overall rankings begin to improve within 1-3 months. As more content is built, you have more phrases that bring people to your website. We rarely worry about a single keyword but look at the data and impression reach all the time to ensure it is improving. With maps specifically, ranking can be based on location, search terms, mobile vs desktop, and other factors.

Do you offer consulting?

Yes. Generally, this is for big brands that are looking for a premium service.

Do you do á la carte work?

Yes. Link building, content creation, and citation work are all areas where we can provide focused project work. We do like to know your bases are covered in other areas as focusing on one thing will never win the prize when compared to a strategic approach to local search marketing.
