Local SEO statistics:

If you want to drive more local customers to visit your business, you must invest in local search engine optimization.

Local SEO will help more local leads find your business and visit you, and it’s an excellent way for you to help your business grow online. Whether you want to expand your business globally, across Northern Ireland or just across the city of Belfast you will need to be found by as many prospective clients as possible. So after googling ” SEO Belfast ” navigate the Vindicta site and contact us to take your business to the new heights.

  • 72% of consumers who perform a local search visit a store within 5 miles of their current location.
  • 61% of mobile searchers are more likely to contact a local business if they have a mobile-friendly site
  • 88% of consumers trust online reviews as much as they trust personal recommendations.
  • 86% of people look up the location of a business on Google Maps.
  • 78% of location-based mobile searches result in an offline purchase.
  • 18% of location-based mobile searches result in a sale within one day

This takes us to the next point, being mobile-friendly websites.

Mobile search rankings are more important than ever, and will only grow increasingly important over time.

  • As of 2015, more searches are done every day on mobile devices than desktops.
  • 40% of eCommerce sales during the 2018 holiday season came from a smartphone.
  • 87% of smartphone users use search engines at least once a day.

To sum it up:

Search engine optimization is essential to your business success. In most cases, writing long-form content is better than writing 500 – word blog.

If your website isn’t mobile-friendly, it’s probably time for a new website.

Every local business needs to have a website that is optimized for local search results.
