There are a few simple SEO tactics you can implement to improve your organic search presence and grow your brand online, and ultimately your brand's trust and reputation.

​

​

Online Presence: It is important to make sure all the information for your business – including brand logos, office locations, phone numbers, addresses, links to your website and service hours – is consistent across all listings. This helps to minimize confusion in search engines, making it easy for your website to appear for relevant search queries. Make sure your business has listings on Google My Business, Yelp, and TripAdvisor.

​

Competitor Research: When analyzing your competition, it is beneficial to assess those businesses that rank in the first search page of the keywords you’re targeting. You might even find some businesses you wouldn't even otherwise consider your competition. You can use websites like SEMrush, Spyfu and Majestic for the same.
