Manta Local SEO Services

Local search marketing services overlap with many traditional SEO practices, but with a heavier focus on showing up for local searches. Strategies include optimizing website content for location-specific and “near me” terms, business directory and citation building, generating online reviews, and developing positive social signals. These various strategies are implemented on a website to help businesses become more visible online and to capture their local customer-base.

SEO (including local search) has become much more accessible and affordable for all businesses. Which is especially good news for small businesses that may not have as high of a budget as enterprise companies. At Manta, we aim to make SEO accessible to businesses with smaller budgets and fewer resources. SEO should not be exclusive to national, enterprise brands with unlimited budgets. Manta offers a variety of SEO packages and pricing options based on common small business needs and growth opportunities. This can range from as little as $500 a month up to $2,000 or more depending on what works best for you!

Before committing to a local SEO company, it's important to find one that listens and takes your goals, your location, your competition, and your current website into account when giving you a price quote. And it's essential to maintain realistic expectations. While quick wins and low hanging fruit are possible to capture, SEO takes time to generate results for websites and the overall businesses. There are so many factors at play that prevent faster results like a paid advertisement campaign. If you're interested in learning more, take a look at this in-depth article that addresses why SEO takes so long to see results.

Local SEO is a member of the SEO family. While it encompasses much of the ranking factors that fall within traditional SEO, local SEO places a stronger value on Relevance, Distance, and Proximity. Local search services optimize websites for location-based and “near me” searches, content that highlights geographical elements so search engines better understand the appropriate query to rank for, citation and directory development to increase brand awareness and reach, and building expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-A-T) through online reviews and other avenues.
