What We Can Do For You

Build and maintain online listings and citations

Business listing optimization and citation building apply to search engines, review sites, and other online platforms where your customers can see you. We mostly enhance business listings on Google My Business to ensure increased search rankings. Our GMB optimization efforts include creating and publishing relevant posts and descriptions.

We also perform citation building on online directories, mobile apps, review sites, and geo or industry-specific platforms. Our local search team places your company or store information on citation building platforms and monitors acquired citations. We can even update important details so your business gains more search visibility.

Optimize for localized searches

Site optimization is an essential part of Growth Rocket’s SEO campaigns—and it applies to local SEO as well. We use this best practice to help websites rank for location-based keywords. We’ll find the most relevant local keywords and include them in your site’s page titles, metadata, and web copies. Our team can even create location pages that introduce and highlight your business to local customers.

But ranking for localized organic searches doesn’t end with placing location-based keywords on your website. Assessing user experience, improving schema and local structured data markup, and building mobile-friendly sites contribute to higher rankings.

Optimize for user experience

UX analysis helps us identify necessary enhancements to your website’s user experience. The process includes considering user expectations, evaluating usability heuristics, and analyzing the number of user flow steps. After assessing site UX, we’ll refine it to satisfy your target market’s needs. Websites looking to boost their local search rankings also need schema and local structured data markups. When your site has schema microdata, search engines will easily parse and interpret your webpage data. We add schema elements and attributes to a site’s HTML code so search engine crawlers get more information about website data. Local structured data markup revolves around getting local information, coding schema entities and testing them, crawling and testing the markup, and monitoring results.

Optimize for mobile

As for mobile optimization, our team follows a meticulous process. We first create mobile web pages, then test them to see if they’re responsive. Enhancing site loading times are also our priority as it maintains lower bounce rates and improves user experience. Caching, compressing images, and maintaining up-to-date site elements are some steps we take for faster websites.

We also make sure that client sites are performing well on mobile devices through Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP). AMP lets us build mobile-friendly versions of website pages by simplifying content and removing unwanted media files and advanced layouts. With this optimization method, you can ensure your users will easily find and see the information they’re looking for on 

their mobile devices.

Crafting localized content

Our local SEO experts also work with our content marketers to produce localized content. Their work ranges from business descriptions to location-based posts. Our team performs local keyword research and creates optimized content that lets you engage with local audiences.

Acquiring links

Link building comes into play as well. We find content publishers, produce content for them, and contact these publishers to acquire client backlinks. By acquiring quality links for your website, your business can build relationships with reputable publishers and influencers. Good links also drive site traffic and help build your brand.
