Local SEO promotes appearing on SERPs in a specific location, whereas national SEO prioritizes ranking nationally. This technique promotes your brand, products, and services to local prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Local SEO optimization increases website traffic, leads, and conversions by targeting local customers. Consider this targeted strategy as a means to better compete against larger national companies with boundless resources. This way, you can counteract the advantage of larger brands who optimize for broader keywords and rely on brand recognition rather than value propositions to drive traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top
