Why Local SEO Still Beats Big-Budget Ads for Most Small Businesses
What most owners assume about local search visibility — and why it's usually wrong.
Where This Actually Shows Up
We started tracking local search visibility more closely a few years back after noticing how often it explained results that otherwise looked confusing.
What Actually Moves It
We've had clients assume review velocity was the problem when the real issue was upstream in Google Business Profile accuracy the entire time — which is why we always check both before recommending a fix.
The Takeaway
It's easy to overcomplicate local search visibility. In practice, doing the basics consistently beats doing something more advanced inconsistently.
