📍 Why Local SEO Matters

If you run a local business, you’ve probably faced this problem: You have an amazing product or service, but very few people know you exist. The truth is, in today’s digital-first world, your customers no longer walk around the neighborhood looking for stores—they pull out their phones and search on Google.

Think about it. When was the last time you needed a new restaurant, a plumber, or even a salon? Chances are, you typed “near me” into Google and chose from the top results. That’s not just you—that’s billions of people every single day.
