How does Google decide which local businesses to show?

Google’s local search results are primarily based on three factors:

▪️ Relevance — How closely a business matches what someone is searching for
▪️ Distance — How far the business is from the location used in the search
▪️ Prominence — How well-known and established the business appears online

While you cannot control where every customer is located, you can strengthen the information Google uses to understand your business.

A strong local presence may include:

✓ A complete and accurate Google Business Profile
✓ The correct business categories and services
✓ Consistent contact information across the web
✓ A helpful, search-friendly website
✓ Customer reviews and thoughtful responses
✓ Current hours, photographs and business details

Google cannot guarantee a particular local ranking, but accurate information, helpful content and ongoing optimization can improve how clearly your business is represented in local search.

Red Canary Marketing helps businesses strengthen their local visibility through website SEO, Google Business Profile management, review support and local citation development.

SEO Term of the Month: Local Citations

A local citation is an online mention of your business—usually including its name, address and phone number. Citations may appear on search engines, maps, local directories, chamber websites and industry-specific platforms.

Why do they matter?

▪️ They help search engines verify that your business information is legitimate and consistent
▪️ They make it easier for customers to find and contact you
▪️ They support your visibility in local search results
▪️ They help strengthen your business’s online presence
▪️ They prevent confusion caused by outdated or conflicting information

Even small differences—such as an old address, incorrect phone number or duplicate listing—can create a poor customer experience and weaken the consistency of your local SEO information.

Businesses should regularly review their listings and keep their name, address, phone number, website and business hours accurate across the web.

Local citation development and monitoring are part of Red Canary Marketing’s local SEO services.

▪️ Important website clicks
