Top Local SEO Blogs 2020

Local SEO Guide�

Local SEO Guide Blog

Although not the most frequent bloggers of the bunch, when Local SEO Guide does post, it goes down a storm — which is no surprise given the type of unique insights Local SEO Guide shares.

It helps, too, that Local SEO Guide’s roster of bloggers includes local SEO pros Andrew Shotland and Dan Leibson.

Over the past year, Local SEO Guide’s blog (aptly labeled with the heading “This Is The Kind Of Stuff We’d Be Talking About To You If You Were A Client…â€) has covered news pieces, — such as the update to Aggregate Lighthouse Reporter — think pieces and how-tos. 

Plus, if you like webinars you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for the Local SEO Guide Show, coming soon.

Time to get working on that scraper, Dan!

Vote for us!

If we win I will release a Google scraper that extracts the entities out of PAA at scale. https://t.co/nQLf8pseEz

5 Compelling Reasons to Adopt a Simple Brand Identity

Image
What is brand identity? First and foremost, a brand identity is how your company presents itself to customers. Another way you can define brand identity is to think of it as all the components that help people differentiate your business from competitors. Things like a color scheme, tone, logo, tagline, font, or even your most popular, signature products can all help build a lasting brand identity. Why does brand identity matter? As a local business, you may be asking yourself, “Why does brand identity matter to me?”. Perhaps you’ve already reached your goal of ranking in the local pack. But once you’ve reached that oh-so-coveted number one spot, what are you doing to make potential customers engage with your business? Without a clear brand identity you could leave searchers confused, alienated, and simply not wanting to take action on your listing. As I’ll explain later, with Google My Business spam on the rise, it’s more important than ever to stand out in local SERPs. Simple vs

Should You Fight for Featured Snippets in 2020?

Image
Since Google introduced featured snippets in 2014, “position zero” has been considered one of the most coveted spots in SERPs.  Featured snippets allowed websites to vie for extra traffic by appearing both at the top of organic search results and again in the top 10 results.  Or that was the case, until Google rolled out a deduplication update on January 22, 2020, ending the era of featured snippets as so-called “position zero”.  In an attempt to declutter SERPs and improve user experience, Google now won’t surface the same URL twice on page one. The first page of search results will show a featured snippet plus nine search results (instead of 10), and the featured snippet’s URL won’t reappear on page one.  Given that featured snippets receive around 8.6% of all clicks, while 19.6% of clicks go to the first search results beneath it, many webmasters and SEOs aren’t happy with the update and have actively discussed the option of opting out altogether using Google’s nosnippet ta
