Creating Perfectly Optimised Pages for Local Businesses [Case Study]
This blog gives an overview of on-page SEO practices and how they can help boost website visibility and rankings. So, we’re going to walk you through the process Local Lead Booster uses to optimise pages for local businesses and help our clients improve their online presence. Our methods rely on using Page Optimizer Pro, which is a highly effective on-page SEO tool that allows web marketers to create perfectly optimised pages with ease.
We’re going to discuss three case studies where we used Page Optimizer Pro (POP) in our SEO campaigns to illustrate how it works and the results that can be achieved with it.
Why on-page SEO is important for local businesses
On-page SEO encompasses all the methods and strategies used to optimise individual web pages in order to improve rankings and get more website traffic. Some of the key factors influencing on-page SEO include high-quality content, images, and HTML tags (title, meta, and header).
Statistics reveal that:
- 36% of SEO experts agree that out of all the elements Google takes into consideration when ranking a site, the title tag is one of the most important.
- 72% of marketers believe that relevant content creation is the most effective SEO tactic to consider when building a SEO-friendly website.
On page SEO benefits
Local businesses can benefit a lot from implementing proper on-page SEO practices. First of all, on-page SEO allows businesses to have more control over the elements that influence Google rankings. Since these elements are in your own hands, you can easily optimise them to improve online visibility for your local business and boost rankings.
Also, on-page SEO supports your off-page SEO strategy by increasing its chances of success. Focusing on off-page SEO techniques while having a terrible website that lacks quality content and doesn’t work properly will lead you nowhere.
Apart from that, on-page SEO is an on-going process that helps you keep up with Google’s changing algorithms and employ the best SEO practices to achieve your local business objectives.
The bottom line is that if you want to make it easier for search engines to discover your site, understand what it’s about and reach top positions in SERP, on-page SEO is a must.
How we create perfectly optimised pages
At Local Lead Booster we build our on-page SEO strategy by focusing on the most important ranking factors in Google’s algorithm. By targeting the elements that Google takes into account to determine a website’s ranking on search results, we are able to develop effective on-page SEO strategies and help local businesses improve their overall online presence.
It’s no secret that Google’s algorithms update constantly in order to provide users with the best experience possible. There are numerous changing variables to consider when building a SEO strategy and it can be difficult to determine which factors weigh the most in the grand scheme of things, so many SEO experts are left in the dark.
As Google and other search engines get smarter, we as SEO professionals have to get smarter with them, and that’s exactly why we choose to use Page Optimizer Pro to build our on-page SEO strategies. POP is one of the best SEO tools one can use to evaluate individual web pages and implement the right SEO tactics that will lead to better rankings. In the following sections of this blog, we’re going to expand on the topic and demonstrate how POP works and the results it can bring.
Why we use Page Optimizer Pro
As we mentioned above, POP is a SEO tool that makes on-page SEO optimization infinitely easier for marketers and SEO specialists.
There are several reasons why we chose POP over other SEO tools available on the market:
- It was developed after extensive SEO testing – there are more than 400 scientific tests to prove its effectiveness and accuracy.
