Local SEO is the way in which you can increase search visibility for businesses on location-based searches. It helps businesses to promote themselves online to local customers within a specific geographic area. Local SEO differs from organic SEO in intent. When the searcher wants search engine results with local companies they should prefer Local SEO. It is usually used for businesses with a physical location, for example, grocery stores or physician's office or for service-oriented companies like a plumber or salons or house cleaning company. Local SEO usually includes searches with geo modifiers, such as state, city, zip code, etc where Google picks up the geo-location of the person and accordingly shows search results from that area only.
