Any business that requires a local presence will benefit from local SEO. This includes businesses with a brick-and-mortar store, and service-area businesses. Some of the businesses that rely heavily on local SEO are medical services, tradespeople like plumbers and electricians, law offices, hospitality businesses, and real estate companies or individuals, to name just a few.
Citations are an important foundation for any local business. Building citations can help give you a solid footing to rank in local search, especially when used in conjunction with other factors, like reviews and Google Business Profile.
