To understand local SEO you need to have an understanding of how search giant google works. Local SEO is a search engine optimization strategy that helps your business to gain more visibility in local searches on sites like Google.

Any entity that has a physical location can get the maximum benefit from local SEO. To understand local SEO and everything around it, you must first have an understanding of how Google works when you type a search word on google.

It checks for patterns of several ranking factors such as how relevant your site is to generate a list of sites that match your search. Google looks for saved copies of all the sites it finds and uses small programs called spiders to crawl the web.

Search engine optimisation is very important for anyone who really wants to make real money online because there is no way people will see you from Google if your content is not search engine optimised. It helps your website to be monetized within a shorter period of time and that is the reason why a lot of people take their time to learn it before venturing into blogging or affiliate marketing and others.

The only difference is that you are going to target cities and towns whenever you want to do local SEO for a website. When saying I discover over time is that competition yes pretty much unless when it comes to local SEO. A friend of mine rank for some local keywords with just contents without any backlink.
