Why Local SEO Is Important to Your Greensboro Business Success
There’s no more dire feeling than worrying when the next new customer will walk through your door… or when the phone will ring next. If you’re a Greensboro business, then local customers are your lifeline. And if you’re not showing up at or near the top of local search engine results pages (SERPs), then you are missing out on customers—every day.
Gone are the days of searching for a business in the yellow pages. When was the last time one of those books landed at your doorstep? Today, individuals and other businesses search via their online devices first: restaurants near me, best cupcakes in Greensboro, plumbers Raleigh, etc. So, if you’re not showing up in the Greensboro local SEO search, it can be problematic for new customers to find you.
Magnetic Ideas agency owner Jeff SanGeorge has more than 15 years of SEO experience throughout Greensboro and beyond. Magnetic Ideas provides local SEO solutions and helps businesses gain better visibility on the web.
People scroll less and less for results. So, showing up at the top can make a huge difference for your business. To improve your local SEO profile, Magnetic Ideas focuses on four main areas:
- Local Map Pack (or 3 Pack)
- Online directories and citations
- Organic local results page
- Inbound links / back links
Magnetic Ideas can help put you on the map—and help raise your ranking over time with local SEO services. Much of this work is related to the optimization of your Google My Business listing. This is the first thing that people see when searching for your business—before they even get to your website. So, it’s often your first chance to make a first impression.

What’s in a Google My Business Profile?
Google My Business feeds information to several places, including the local map pack (3 pack) and Google Maps. However, the most familiar appearance of your business will likely be when it’s in the top right (or top on mobile) of a branded search engine results page (SERP)—otherwise known as the knowledge panel.
Your Google My Business (GMB) profile can include a variety of information submitted by yourself or your local SEO expert. This information tells the customer all about who you are and what you do.
- Your products and services
- Contact information
- Business address
- Business description
- Business category
- Hours of operation
- Google reviews
- Questions and answers from your customers
- Blog posts
- Graphics
- Videos
- And more!
Part of your Greensboro SEO services includes ensuring that your GMB profile remains as up-to-date and accurate as possible. Taking the time to safeguard that all of your information across the web and in your GMB profile is accurate will create a higher chance of appearing in the local pack.

How Google Determines Your Search Engine Ranking
Although Bing has become a growing player in search engine ranking (due to programming as the default search engine on many new computers), Google is still king. It’s the preferred search engine on nearly all mobile devices. So, your time and efforts focusing on Google will offer you the best ROI for your business in the short and long term.
Google uses several factors to determine how you are ranked in local Greensboro SEO search engine results as well as in the local Google Map Pack (the list of quick-click companies that will appear in your search engine results).
- Google My Business Listing
- relevance, quality and authority of your website
- Google Reviews
- A continually updated website (blogs, new pages, etc.)
- Backlinks to your site
- And much more.

Factors That Can Hurt Your Google Search Engine Ranking
We know that it’s essential to have up-to-date information on the internet about your business. Accurate details help your business rank well in local Greensboro SEO results. But did you know that some information can actually hurt your ranking? It’s true.
When Google detects inaccuracies in your company data (business name, physical address, phone number, and even your hours of operation), that will count against you. And without the tools to detect every mention of your company on the web, it’s nearly impossible for the average business owner or marketing officer to find and fix these important details.
Here are some of the elements that we confirm are accuracy—and stay accurate—on your local and regional business listings every week.
NAP data consistency (name, address, and phone number)
Local citations
Online and industry directory data
