Local SEO Ranking Factors
Local SEO relies on three major factors: Relevance, Distance, and Prominence.
- Relevance: The closer your Google Business Profile matches what customers are searching for, the better. The more detailed your information, the more likely it is that Google will match your business with relevant searches.
- Distance: The closer your business is to the customer, the higher your chances are of showing up in local searches. Google estimates distance if the customer doesn’t share their location.
- Prominence: How well-known your business is matters. The more backlinks, positive reviews, and social signals you have, the better your chances of ranking higher. Reviews, particularly recency and velocity, are crucial in boosting rankings.
We help improve each of these areas, from optimizing your Google Business Profile to making sure your website is aligned with local search best practices. Contact us today to learn how we can help you strengthen your local SEO and rise in search rankings.

SEO And Marketing Companies For Categories Outside Our Purview
At Sterling Sky, we have grown to understand that we can be experts at a few things – or good at a lot of things. To that end, there are a few types of businesses that are just not a good fit for us. That being said, every business deserves marketing and we’d like to help businesses outside of the niches we help find help when they need it.
We’ve found a few local seo agencies in niches we do not serve that may be able to help you. While we list them here, we have not worked with these companies – and this is not an endorsement of their services – merely a resource to help you move your marketing agency search forward.
