Atlanta Local SEO Services FAQs
How is local SEO different from organic SEO?
Organic search listings and local 3-pack or Google Business Profile listings rely on completely different ranking factors. These latter two listings, which are the central focus of local SEO, hinge on factors like citations, customer reviews, business location, and user proximity.
Meanwhile, organic SEO increases a website’s visibility in organic search results. These are the results that appear just below the local 3-pack and any paid ads.
Does your local SEO company guarantee top 3-pack rankings?
Unfortunately, no. We can never guarantee a top 3-pack ranking or any specific outcomes in the search results. If any local SEO company tells you they can, they’re lying. Because search results are highly-dynamic and based on individual user variables, it’s virtually impossible to guarantee top placement. The best that we can do is help your business develop attainable SEO goals backed by realistic expectations.
What makes your agency's local SEO services different from other companies?
Our local SEO services combine tools, intelligence, and manual throughput. Many local SEO companies use tools that are great for immediate results, but disastrous long-term. Subscription-based citation services might provide an easy way to fix and build multiple citations quickly, but can undo changes upon cancelation of service. Captivate corrects and creates citations manually, which means when we fix an inaccurate citation, it remains fixed, even if you choose to end a program.
How does your company build and manage citations for local SEO?
Our suite of tools effectively identifies and cross-references your location’s citations. We claim inaccurate listings and fix the information by hand to align with the name, address, and phone number mentioned on your business’s site and GMP page. Finally, we identify major directories or new citation opportunities your business lacks, and manually build out new listings to further improve local SEO potential.
