Local SEO steps
From the past topics, we understand the meaning And the cue line of Local SEO already. For this topic, I will talk about the process of doing Local SEO and what point you need to adjust, which we will customize through a tool called Local SEO Checklist.
– Complete Information at Google My Business
Google was born to be Information, so every point he gives us to fill in Google My Business, we have to fill in all fields. As much as we can add to it
– Set the business name on GMB: Business Name + Keyword
Your business name Cannot put the shop name alone; use 1-2 keywords to accompany the business name on GMB as well.
The business name on the GMB, if you only put the name on it, it will get cool. But if you want to do Local SEO, you need to mix together the main keywords of your Business. But choose to enter just 1-2 words should not put more than this Because it will not be clear.
A keyword will be placed first and then appended with Business Brand name or Business Brand name first. And then can be added to the end with Keyword.
Google always wants to be clear, so we have to choose words to put them in order for Google to understand that we are really expert on that side.
– Enter a short description of the Business.
In which do not forget to put keyword keywords into it Write 4-5 lines or more
 Various addresses, write them in detail
Because doing Local SEO is to make users buy things on the shop near the house, so the address should be written in detail, village name, alley name, buy street, write it down completely.
 Choose a business category related to what we do.
Select a business category To suit what you sell Or suit what you do. We can choose a full 9 categories, but you don’t have to choose all 9 categories, just 3-4 of them will do.

Select the service area closest to your store location.
If many, we have many branches Choose multiple locations But if you choose the region as Thailand This will not result in good local SEO results, we will lose local businesses in that area. Therefore, I recommend selecting it as the main region name. Where your shop or branch is located down
– Enter your phone number and website.
– Include everything that can be entered, such as articles, products, services.
Consider that GMB is like a Facebook fan page. He will have space for us to add content. Update new Information Can go in all the time; therefore, there is an area where we can add content. Let us write it in. Write more, the better.
If you put this Information on how it will be displayed on Google map, you can try searching for the word “Teach SEO” on Google.

If there are many customers to help write a review of our store, it is even better. You may need to create a little bit of it yourself. But adding a review, You have to make it smooth. Someone to write a review It must have been in our real position as well because Google will stalk everyone. Whether ever actually came to such a position or not
Local SEO is Longtail Keyword SEO
Therefore, in the on-page section of Title, Meta Description and in the content must include the name of the place, region or province.
 On the Google Map side, go to the on-page, but don’t have to go to the footer side.
On the map side, go down to the content. But should not take the map to the Footer because the Google Map is Iframe, which makes it slower to open web pages. If we put it to the Footer, it will result in other pages. Open the web too slow.
