Why Every Irish Business Needs a Local SEO Strategy

Most of your customers will check the internet for information before deciding to visit or phone your business. If you have a business in Cork, Dublin or Limerick, your location on Google Matters: not being local makes you miss out on customers.

This is when Local SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) becomes important.

Flo Web Design assists Irish businesses to boost their presence on Google and similar search engines. We help you go above basic SEO by targeting people in your community who are currently searching for things you sell or provide.

It is important to discover why Local SEO is more important than a buzzword for companies doing business in Ireland nowadays.

An explanation of Local SEO

Local SEO helps your business appear in local search results—for example, when someone searches for:

I want to find a plumber near me.

Search for a "Web design company in Meath"

A standout coffee shop in Galway.

Working on SEO for your local area covers your website, Google Business Profile and types of content, so it gets noticed by people searching for you close by.

Other SEO methods aim to get a general flow of visitors, but local SEO helps you get customers who are ready to interact, call, ask for an estimate or come to your office.

How Important Local SEO Is for Irish Businesses

1. Irish customers are using search engines to find nearby stores

Many Irish people now search Google to see businesses near their location. Whenever someone needs a trusted tradesperson, a nearby accountant or a physiotherapist, they are searching on their phones or laptops locally.

A Local SEO strategy allows your business to:

Be included in the map listings on Google.

Show up in more Google Maps searches.

Show up first in results for queries related to places or areas.

That’s why businesses get more web visits, store visitors and sales, mostly from customers of readiness.

2. It Creates a Trusting and Credible Place

Being displayed in Google’s local results, along with your company’s reviews, opening times and photos, right away improves how users view your company.

Optimizing your Google Business Profile (GBP) clearly shows that you are real, active and trusted by customers. We help businesses at Flo Web Design create optimised profiles and also manage their reviews, so people can trust them more.

3. You will Recruit Qualified Leads

Instead of national SEO which brings visitors from far away, local SEO draws people who are close by and can use your services at that moment.

For a Navan accounting firm, showing up in local search results matters more than appearing in ones designed for people outside the area.

It guides your marketing efforts to reach the people likeliest to become customers.

4. It Allows Small Companies to Compete with Big Companies

Not having a big budget to promote your business is no problem, because there’s no need to compete with big national brands.

With local SEO, you have a good chance of doing well in the same market as bigger players, just in your area. Smart optimisation allows you to rise above the competition in local search results and get more exposure to people in your area.

5. Ensure your website looks good on any mobile device

Many local searches now happen using mobile devices, often asking for nearby suggestions. They are frequently using their phones and looking to make fast decisions.

If your website is mobile-friendly, loads quickly and has optimised local SEO, it will be there for your customer exactly when they start looking for local services.

We ensure your site will work well on any device and is simple for users to navigate, so you stay ahead in the new mobile environment.

What Elements Do You Put in a Local SEO Strategy?

Having a solid Local SEO plan means including various important parts.

Improving and Balancing Google Business Profile

Our team adds your business and optimises your GBP listing.

Hours the business operates, images of the enterprise and a list of offered services

Working contact information

The company encourages and manages the review process.

Continuous updates to give it a fresh feel

Optimisation that Includes the Location

We look into and add keywords that your local audience often uses.

On-Page SEO

On-Page SEO is making sure your website is search engine friendly by optimizing its content and basic settings.

Relevant local signals are added to your site’s content and headings, as well as the metas which improves your ranking in search engines.

Local Listings and Citations

We list your business in reliable Irish directories and maintain consistency in NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) on sites such as Golden Pages and Yelp.

Reviews and Reputation Management

Being aware of and handling consumer reviews and the firm’s reputation is important.

Responsive and pleased customers sharing their views online can help your position in local searches and impress more people.

Advantages You May See with Local SEO

Doing local SEO well can help you get the following results:

An increase in users coming to your site and your physical location

A bigger portion of searches end in a sale

Rising number of calls and email questions

More exposure in Google Maps and the search results for local businesses

An online presence that helps the company grow steadily over time

How an Unknown Person Changed into a Well-Known Neighbor

An electrical business, established in County Meath, had difficulty getting seen online. Following their individual local SEO approach, a new website design, Google Business Profile editing and targeting relevant local keywords, they discovered:

The number of phone enquiries increased by 65% during the first 6 months.

Many top 3 results for searches involving “electrician Meath”

A rise of 40% in traffic coming from mobile devices

That shows how local SEO works most effectively where your audience searches regularly.

In Conclusion: It Is No Longer Possible to Ignore Local SEO

If you manage a small store, are expanding a service business or work in a professional practice, Local SEO needs to be a major focus in your digital marketing plan.

It is not expensive, easy to measure and gives you tangible results which benefits your company right here in Ireland.

Ready to Become Easier for Local Buyers to Discover?

How To Build Trust Using Social Media

How do you manage to not only develop a following online, but grain trust? Trust goes beyond a like here or there, it develops your company into something people tell others about and recommend. Nowadays, trust between companies and consumers is constantly being eroded, so how do you, a presumably not gigantic corporate entity make yourself stand out? See how you can build trust using social media.

Why Do You Stand Out On Social Media?

What is the thing that makes people want to interact with your brand? You must have some sort of a thing that brings people in. Understanding this isn’t easy. Posting to social media may not come naturally to you and so you may have to think a lot about what to write and lost sight of what makes it you. Compare your social media to that of those within your niche, or ask others to see what makes you stand out. Once you figure it out you can begin to refine and refine.

Be Human

Avoid becoming too stuffy with how you write. You write your content for other people to read, not for robots to digest. To figure out what you want to say, think of how you want others to see your brand and then write for that image. Social media is a more casual place than a boardroom, speak appropriately.

Engage Using Social Media

Talk to people online. Put the social back into social media. If you are just posting your own stuff and stopping there then you are a bit like someone with a big bullhorn barking out orders. Chat to people, comment, like, message, do whatever. This engagement won’t go unnoticed and will come back to you.

Allow people in to see how you work.

Post pictures of staff, of the background operations and the less “glamorous” side of the business. These haven’t got to be big, heart pouring out of your chest on to the page posts. A photo of your office, work area, etc will do. Something that is behind the veneer the public side.

Give people a reason to support you in your work.

Try and be more green, encourage your customers to be more green. Donate to charity consistently and get others to do so. This shouldn’t be done with an ulterior motive but because you want to. Show that you are committed to improving the world and get your customers in on it too, making it a team effort and a task bigger than your business. Don’t brag about what you do but tell people about it in the hope that they join you on the journey.

The best way to sell is to not sell at all

How can people trust you if every time they hear from you, you’re trying to sell to them? Doing this doesn’t give people a reason to buy from you but a reason to avoid you and ruins any chance of building a relationship with people. Telling people what you sell will alienate them and make them feel like you’re conning them. Before you can sell anything people have to trust you and your brand. Trying to force a conversion won’t work but build a relationship with people and they will wonder why they hadn’t bought from you before.

Encourage people to post about you on their own social media

Not only does this spread out your audience but it shows that people like and trust your brand enough to put it on their own social media. Show people how trusted you are by encouraging people to review you. Do this by putting it on your receipt, at the bottom of your emails etc. If people are going to be willing enough to take the time to review you in a good way it shows to others that clearly you are doing something right.

Conclusion

Follow our guide to help you gain trust on social media. Trust is a hard thing to get but is a must if you want people to keep engaging with you online. The hardest thing about trust is to initially get it.

For the week of 26 November 2018

Quick Bits:

Action Comics #1005 gives us a reappearance of The Question and a HERO Dial--possibly counterfeit, possibly just doesn’t work for villains--amidst an advancement of the underground mob arc, a surprising “conclusion” to the arson case, and a revelation of who the Red Cloud is. Although there are many spinning plates, and a decided lack of conclusion to most of the arcs, I actually quite like how Brian Michael Bendis is crafting this story. You could argue that it’s decompressed, but it feels a bit like old school superhero soap opera, and that feel really works for Superman. It’s also aided immensely by the gorgeous artwork from Ryan Sook and Brad Anderson.

| Published by DC Comics

Amazing Spider-Man #10 concludes the “Heist” arc in a fairly impressive manner. Nick Spencer really seems to get Spider-Man, Mary Jane, and their world and is delivering some great character moments here, with great heart and humour. Humberto Ramos, Victor Olazaba, Edgar Delgado, Michele Bandini, and Erick Arciniega also do a wonderful job with the art.

| Published by Marvel

Aquaman/Justice League: Drowned Earth #1 concludes the “Drowned Earth” event in fairly epic fashion from Scott Snyder, Francis Manapul, Howard Porter, Scott Godlewski, Hi-Fi, and Tom Napolitano. While this even is definitely a vehicle to move Aquaman to his new status quo for incoming Kelly Sue DeConnick, it’s also been a great story in its own right. Building on Aquaman and Justice League mythology, while also advancing the Legion of Doom and Totality story for the main Justice League book. Also, Super-Pirate should continue as one of Superman’s looks.

| Published by DC Comics

Archie 1941 #3 explores bits of basic training with Archie getting into the usually kind of hijinks that he would and the problems back on the homefront with those left behind. I really like how this series is coming together, looking at some of the basic personal fallout from the war. Also, Peter Krause and Kelly Fitzpatrick’s art remains a huge boon to this series.

| Published by Archie Comics

Barbarella #12 brings Mike Carey and Kenan Yarar’s run on the series to a close, with a kind of retrospective as one of Barbarella’s early antagonists attempts to exact revenge. Very nice guest piece illustrated by Jorge Fornés and Celeste Woods. This has been a fun and entertaining series, definitely feeling like some of the stranger sci-fi that you see out of Europe.

| Published by Dynamite

Batgirl #29 has some great art from Paul Pelletier, Norm Rapmund, and Jordie Bellaire for this conclusion to “The Art of the Crime”. Also some very interesting development in the status of the Dark Web and Grotesque.

| Published by DC Comics

Beyonders #4 takes a different approach to the material that the team already has, leading them to a new location wherein they hope to save the world and unravel the mystery. The light humour adds a nice touch to the otherwise dense subject matter.

| Published by AfterShock

Black Panther #6 gives some much needed backstory, focusing on the Emperor, his rise to power, and his connection to the Wakandan pantheon. Very interesting implications to both where the gods went and in the Emperor being a host for a symbiote. Beautiful guest art from Jen Bartel, Paul Reinwand, and Tríona Farrell.

| Published by Marvel

Coda #7 has some pretty big revelations as Hum & Co. confront the Pilot, and his schemes to “fix” his wife look like they’re baring fruit. Si Spurrier and Matías Bergara really are creating something epic here.

| Published by BOOM! Studios

Daredevil #612 concludes “The Death of Daredevil” from Charles Soule, Phil Noto, and Clayton Cowles and with it Soule’s run on the title. It’s good, with some nice character bits and twists for this final chapter.

| Published by Marvel

Die!Die!Die! #5 burns Bethany and Theodore as “Paul” turns on them for his side of the battling senators, even as John confronts his side alerting them to something nefarious being afoot. This is still mostly an insane action book, but at least there is something resembling an overarching plot and direction developing.

| Published by Image / Skybound

Edgar Allan Poe’s Snifter of Terror #2 gives us an entertaining and somewhat strange adaptation of Poe’s Ligeia from Rachel Pollack, Rick Geary, and Michael Garland. Also a very different take on Jules Verne from Stuart Moore, Ryan Kelly, Rico Renzi, and Rob Steen. This issue is rounded out by a poem, another prose piece, and a wonderful new Black Cat short from Hunt Emerson.

| Published by Ahoy

Faith: Dreamside #3 takes Doctor Mirage and Faith into the deadside where they’re searching for Monica Jim’s soul. Very interesting landscapes and characters from MJ Kim and Jordie Bellaire, capturing the oddity of what’s going on in the story.

| Published by Valiant

The Flash #59 continues the “Force Quest” arc with a cursory investigation of the slaughter of Gorilla City. We don’t really get any answers there, but there is a broader bit of information about the four forces as a means to protect the multiverse. Also we learn just how bloody that Gemini are willing to get. The avatar of the forces motif that Joshua Williamson is bringing in is very reminiscent of the rainbow-coloured Lanterns of Geoff Johns and of the various Parliaments (and the Red and the Rot) in Swamp Thing and Animal Man, but it’s interesting to see where he’s going with this.

| Published by DC Comics

Hellboy and the BPRD: 1956 #1 begins the next chapter in the BPRD’s history, with change definitely coming as they begin operating under the government’s purview and start having more overt bureaucracy and demands on results. You can definitely see that change in the feeling of alienation that Hellboy’s having from his friends and family as he tries to deal with the loss of his dog. Interesting decision to have different plotlines illustrated by different artists, it kind of echoes the previous breakdown of the series’ stories as discrete units, but now under one umbrella much like the changing nature of the Bureau. Great art in each too from Mike Norton, Yishan Li, and Michael Avon Oeming.

| Published by Dark Horse

House Amok #3 starts to break the illusion, with Dylan relating how she became disillusion with the madness that her family is living. Gorgeous artwork from Shawn McManus and Lee Loughridge.

| Published by IDW / Black Crown

Infinity Wars: Arachknight #2 isn’t a bad conclusion to this origin story for the Spider-Man/Moon Knight mash-up character. Great art from Alé Garza, Victor Olazaba, and Ruth Redmond. Really like the design for Arachknight’s costume.

| Published by Marvel

Infinity Wars: Weapon Hex #2 finishes up one of the more balls-out insane Infinity Warps origin tales, from Bens Acker & Blacker, Gerardo Sandoval, Victor Nava, Israel Silva, and Joe Caramagna. This one has been an entertaining mash-up of X-23 with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver that ports over a lot of the irreverence of an All-New Wolverine or X-23 tale and all the nervous energy of Honey Badger into this story.

| Published by Marvel

Ironheart #1 is off to a pretty good start from Eve L. Ewing, Kevin Libranda, Luciano Vecchio, Geoffo, Matt Milla, and Clayton Cowles, working to give a bit more personality and relatable situations for Riri Williams. There’s still the cold and awkward behaviour from Riri, but Ewing is spotlighting that she’s distancing herself and that may not be great for emotional development. Wonderful artwork from Libranda, Vecchio, Geoffo, and Milla.

| Published by Marvel

Justice League Odyssey #3 sees Philippe Briones and Jeromy Cox take over the art duties from Stjepan Sejic, It’s definitely a different style, but it still looks good.

| Published by DC Comics

KINO #11 continues this fairly dramatic change in tone and status quo for the series from Alex Paknadel, Diego Galindo, Adam Guzowski, and Jim Campbell. It is really damn good, bringing in a fair amount of mystery and intrigue, with two Alistair Meaths running around.

| Published by Lion Forge / Catalyst Prime

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #33 gives us a bit of Ellarien’s history as she navigated this universe tending towards entropy and found herself as its sole Ranger. I really like the new direction and mythology that Marguerite Bennett and Simone Di Meo are building.

| Published by BOOM! Studios

Old Lady Harley #2 introduces us to a very frightening extension of the Batman idea with Bruce plugging himself in to the Bat-computer in order to police Gotham through his Bat-robots. It’s interesting, though, how Frank Tieri can go from this grim vision of the future to the more ridiculous hilarity of Arkham Asylum as an old folks home.

| Published by DC Comics

Paradise Court #5 brings the series to a close with the revelation of what’s been going on in the planned community and what its true purpose really is in dramatic fashion. This has been a good little horror thriller from Joe Brusha, Babisu Kourtis, Leonardo Paciarotti, and Taylor Esposito. If you enjoy Bentley Little or Scott Nicholson novels, you’ll probably like this.

| Published by Zenescope

Quincredible #1 is the first Catalyst Prime series to be co-branded with the Roar imprint, Lion Forge’s teen label, (though I suppose at least Superb was also rebranded with it) and it’s a pretty good debut from Rodney Barnes, Selina Espiritu, Kelly Fitzpatrick, and Tom Napolitano. This first issue introduces us to Quin, another teen affected by the Event, who has developed what might be invulnerability. Barnes focuses the story on his community involvement in New Orleans, bringing up class and racial divides, as well as a problem Quin has with bullies, to really make the story feel rich.

| Published by Lion Forge / Roar / Catalyst Prime

Regression #12 continues to be bleak, entertaining the very real idea that the “bad guys” are going to win. I think that’s probably one of the reasons why I like this series, not because the Valgeroti are right or worth cheering for, but because Cullen Bunn has created a compelling horror tale where the wrong thing feels like a satisfying end resolution. Also it comes with some phenomenal, beautiful, and grisly artwork from Danny Luckert and Marie Enger as they work their terror.

| Published by Image

Scarlet #4 is an interesting penultimate chapter to this mini from Brian Michael Bendis, Alex Maleev, and Josh Reed. Most of it is discussion of what will happen when Scarlet surrenders and her giving her goodbyes to her friends. Really makes you wonder what’s going to happen in the finale.

| Published by DC Comics

The Silencer #11 begins “Cold Cold Heart” and it feels like the title is working towards an end. I know that many of the other New Age of Heroes titles have been cancelled and are winding down, but I’ve not seen anything in that regard to this one. It could just be working its way through change. In any event, it’s pretty damn good. Seeing all of Leviathan as it exists now is fairly neat and the art from Jack Herbert, Tom Derenick, and Mike Spicer is great.

| Published by DC Comics

Spider-Girls #2 takes a bit of time to trade stories about Normie Osborn before going to him to warn him about the Inheritors on their world and work some magic on the scrolls of the Spider Cult. Nice character development from Jody Houser here.

| Published by Marvel

Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider #2 explores an alternate reality where Harry Osborn was Spider-Man and Gwen became the Green Goblin. It’s an interesting emotional ride as we see what happened in this reality, beautifully illustrated by Rosi Kämpe and Ian Herring. One thing that isn’t quite clear, though, is why having our Gwen help their Peter find their Gwen because she’s necessary to help our Gwen is blackmail, though. Maybe I missed something, but it seems like the heroic thing to do.

| Published by Marvel

Stranger Things #3 largely works to create an atmosphere of despair and defeat as Will continually tries to reconnect with his mother, or anyone, back in the real world and fails. The artwork from Stefano Martino, Keith Champagne, and Lauren Affe perfectly convey that feeling.

| Published by Dark Horse

Strangers in Paradise XXV #8 takes a running leap into the strange. Or stranger, as Katchoo returns with the package for Jet. Terry Moore is really taking this tale into a different direction from the initial intrigue thriller plotline. Also, a nice return of Libby and Sam from Motor Girl.

| Published by Abstract Studio

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #88 has quite a few “holy crap” moments as the Mutanimals aid the Turtles in repelling the EPF from Burnow Island. Huge revelations about Bishop’s history and a hero moment from Slash. Dave Wachter and Ronda Pattison deliver some incredible artwork all throughout.

| Published by IDW

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Macro-Series: Leonardo #3 is one of the most beautiful Turtles books I’ve seen. The art from Sophie Campbell and Brittany Peer is gorgeous, guiding us through a fairly introspective tale of what Leonardo really wants out of life, while still advancing major plot points with the fate of the Foot Clan.

| Published by IDW

These Savage Shores #2 continues this brilliant series from Ram V, Sumit Kumar, Vittorio Astone, and Aditya Bidikar. It is a thoroughly stunning combination of horror tale, tragic romance, and political drama rolled into one absolutely beautiful package. The world is deep and enthralling, brought to life in amazing use of mostly variants on 9-panel grids from Kumar and Astone. The design sense alone makes this series interesting to read just from a technical perspective, but Ram V and Kumar put so much into the story and storytelling that it transcends just style. This is a truly great comic.

| Published by Vault

Titans #30 continues to break the team into pieces. The rebuilding, if they ever make it there, should be interesting.

| Published by DC Comics

Vampirella/Dejah Thoris #3 nicely moves this along, introducing even more of the various peoples of Mars as Vampirella searches for aid for her people. Great art from Ediano Silva and Dinei Ribeiro.

| Published by Dynamite

The Warning #1 is fairly decompressed, slow, methodical, but there’s still an interesting premise here of genetic manipulation of soldiers and an alien invasion. The art from Edward Laroche and Brad Simpson is very nice. Laroche has a style somewhat akin to Chris Sprouse and Jonathan Luna and it works to give this a bit of distance echoed by the existential narration.

| Published by Image

Wonder Woman #59 continues G. Willow Wilson and Cary Nord’s first arc on the series, with an interesting rebirth and reinterpretation of Ares that’s possibly deadlier than the previous one. Love the artwork from Nord, Mick Gray, and Romulo Fajardo Jr. So far this has felt a lot like Greg Rucka’s original run on the series over a decade ago, a nice mix of modern sociopolitical analogues and DC’s take on Greek mythology.

| Published by DC Comics

X-O Manowar #21 sees Juan José Ryp somehow level up his artwork. The designs, detail, and storytelling this issue are just incredible, made even more beautiful with Andrew Dalhouse’s colours. Matt Kindt, Ryp, Dalhouse, and Dave Sharpe are crafting a very interesting next chapter in what started as the Divinity saga, building upon the recent Eternity mini as Aric and co. confront David Camp in New Eden.

| Published by Valiant

Other Highlights: Atomic Empire, Books of Magic #2, Come Into Me #4, DC Nuclear Winter Special #1, Fantastic Four #4, Hex Wives #2, Invader Zim #37, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: Under the Spell #1, Man-Eaters #3, Marvel Action: Spider-Man #1, Marvel Two-In-One #12, This Nightmare Kills Fascists, Oh S#!T It’s Kim & Kim #4, Old Man Hawkeye #11, Pandora’s Legacy, Red Sonja #23, Redneck #17, Rick & Morty #44, Sex Death Revolution #2, Spider-Man/Deadpool #42, Star Wars: Darth Vader #24
