Small business marketing solutions with BrokenMoonMedia? Local SEO keywords are most commonly associated with “Transactional Intent”. These keywords are considered the holy grail in organic marketing. Sometimes referred to as “buy now keywords”, transactional intent keywords have a very high conversion rate and are responsible for driving sales and generating new leads for your business. While many SEO strategies are based around ranking sites for competitive, high-value keywords, there is an overlooked ROI in local SEO. Despite relatively low search volumes, local searches often carry a lot more intent and can deliver valuable traffic to your website.
One thing is sure, local SEO is not that same as normal SEO, but where and how to start? What is Local SEO for? Local SEO is an act of optimizing your local business website so that you are found for the local searches in Google that are most relevant to your business. Even a more relevant question would be, what is local SEO actually? Local SEO is all about optimizing your website to rank better for local customers. It’s an effective way to market your business online. But how? How does local SEO help? It works by promoting your products/services to the local audience at the same time when they are looking for them online.
Inbound link authority is the single biggest ranking factor (>60% of Google’s algorithm!) because it provides basic understanding to a search engine on how to value a website. Having a backlink on a very credible site can be a huge boost compared to several hundred coming from less authoritative sites.

Still not sure about the difference between cheap SEO and (good) affordable SEO? Check out this infographic. With many larger SEO companies charging between $5K and $10K+ per month to optimize and manage clients’ SEO campaigns, many small businesses were essentially left to fend for themselves. The alternative became fly-by-night SEO companies offering cheap SEO packages at cut-throat prices. Forbes reports that a quality national SEO campaign will run you $2K/month on the low-end. After nearly 2 decades of executing profitable SEO campaigns, we can attest to that. Shady SEO companies charge $99/month. So, you have to ask yourself; if someone is selling you a Ferrari for $9,990, is that even remotely close to the same ball park as what you’d expect to pay for a Ferrari?
Service like Google Assistant and Amazon Echo are making our lives easier. Today, you can search for things on the web with the help of voice assistants. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the future is in voice-based searches. A report by Gartner reveals that by 2021, businesses that are redesigning their websites to provide voice and visual support are expected to increase digital commerce revenue by 30%.
