How are local businesses keeping up with search algorithms in Nashville?
-
Operating a local service company in Middle Tennessee has become totally insanely competitive over the past couple of years. It's like almost every time you turn around a dozen other businesses are opening shop, and then all of a sudden your local pack rankings just go straight down the toilet. We recognized in 2016 that traditional word-of-mouth marketing and simple on-page edits weren't sufficient to combat the local growth explosion.
We figured it was time to team up with a search engine optimization company nashville team who knew what they were talking about instead of stuffing their practice playbook at us like a big ol' national strategy magazine. Whoa. Where we were only chasing big national terms, they began clicking down in our own neighborhood with hyper-local intent, landing pages, and a gun-barrel optimized Google Business Profile.
They also allowed us to build local, real regional backlinks by utilizing community-related happenings, press releases and sponsorships that a non-local agency never would have considered. Our qualified inbound leads increased significantly within just four months and we gained consistent rankings in nearby locations such as Franklin and Murfreesboro.
