Are you trying to attract more inbound traffic for your local contractor or home service business by investing in local SEO?

There's a lot of overlap between traditional SEO and local SEO, and many businesses and agencies struggle with separating the two. Most will try to use tactics that work at the national level, but fall flat at the local level and wonder why they aren't getting results.

And the same goes for their KPIs too. You need to look at an entirely different subset of data to analyze how your local SEO efforts are doing and glean insights on how to improve their performance.

Working off of the wrong data can, at best, lead you to make wrong decisions, and at worst completely destroy your local visibility.

So, what data points should you be looking at?

Here are 10 of the more important local SEO KPIs you should be tracking!

Are you looking to use Google Ads to grow your local contractor or home service business?

Before you do ANYTHING, be sure to read this post first!

While Google Ads is a great way to generate new business for your company, you can make some serious mistakes that can cost you thousands of dollars if you aren't careful.

We've audited hundreds of accounts and found that most clients (and agencies) were consistently making the same mistakes.

And that's okay! Mistakes happen! They're an important part of the learning process, but here's the important part. You don't have to make the same mistakes. You don't have to cut your teeth and earn your stripes to optimize your campaigns so they generate high-quality leads and phone calls.

You can learn from other people's mistakes and take a shortcut to the finish line.

With that in mind, here are the 18 most common mistakes we see when auditing Google Ads accounts.

Are you on the fence about investing in local SEO to grow your local contractor or home service business?

I totally understand. We hear that a lot over here. You might be worried about your ROI when you hear things like "SEO is dead!"

That couldn't be further from the truth. Google has made a TON of updates to their search algorithms to help local businesses, just like you, rank higher and earn more traffic from searches with local intent.

In fact, there's never been a better time to invest in local SEO since searches that include "near me" or "nearby" have increased over 5x in the last two years alone.

People WANT to find local businesses, and I guarantee that there are thousands of potential clients searching for the services you provide, but they can't find you since you haven't invested in local SEO yet!

If you're still thinking about testing the waters, here are the top 6 benefits to using local SEO to grow your business.

Is your content marketing strategy just writing a couple of 500 word blogs each month?

This is a trap that many agencies and most small businesses fall into. They come up with a list of ideas, throw them into a content calendar, and then just end up checking boxes every month.

Different audiences engage with content and topics in different ways. Some topics need to be videos, others need to be an in-depth discussion on a podcast, while others can just be a quick checklist you post to your social media profiles.

But if all you're doing is taking a one size fits all approach and only writing blogs, you aren't reaching a large portion of your target audience. (And you're wasting your time and money too!)

Content marketing is so much more than posting a couple of hastily written blogs each month. Take the time and make the effort to experiment with the different types of content below.

And, don't forget, this is just the tip of the content marketing iceberg. There are dozens of other types you can test out too!
