Our CEO's note on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and SEO

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is about to change almost everything in its path, I believe, for the better. SEO is just about to get a whole lot more meaningful and interesting, which is exciting! In my 15+ Years’ serving SEO clients globally, I’ve had no project where achieving top SEO ranks has been difficult. There’s no secret sauce to SEO success; just reasonably smart people working hard, understanding the trend and doing the right things on- and off-page. That sentiment and our unbending commitment to your SEO success will remain unchanged with the coming of AI. We’re so excited about AI, that our R&D team have already set aside dedicated weekly resources aimed at exploiting the benefits of AI for our clients and ourselves. Let us watch the space!

Blurn’s Approach to Local SEO

We assess and improve each of the three pillars of local SEO to ensure you rank better on Google Maps and have greater prominence in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). For your on page SEO, we ensure you have local landing pages, one landing page per suburb if needed, that use localised keywords. For your off page SEO, we invest time in ensuring citations and backlinks come from other local websites, as this will lead to higher rankings in search engines. For your on page content, we review all content on your website(s) and make it as local as possible. For example, we will use your specific suburb or locality, rather than your city or town, so that you appear in more location-specific search results.

Types of SEO Services We Offer Include

Small Business SEO

Small Business SEO

We are well acquainted with the challenges small businesses face very well. Although SEO could be an important source of revenue for small businesses, usually the budgets aren’t big, in spite of stiff online competition. Ranking high for lucrative keywords might sound like a mammoth task when you’re competing against companies many times your size. But, we’re able to guide your SEO investment a few keyword groups at a time, ensuring that you get the maximum revenue and profit along the way to reinvest.

We can help you navigate the fast-paced world of SEO by exploiting your strengths to your SEO advantage.

Local SEO: Should you or shouldn’t you?

Advantages of Local SEO

Local SEO is highly lucrative if you wish to develop a greater presence in the specific areas of your operations eg if you’re running a plumbing business, café or clothing repair service. With cities getting larger and larger, and traffic worse and worse, increasing numbers of people prefer to support local and family-owned businesses. Now is an ideal time for you to capitalise on this trend and expand your client base to people who live where you work. Local SEO enables you to be seen by prospects who may currently only know about large franchises and corporations – ones that are household names. With the decline in use of services like the Yellow Pages, and with online searches now being a common way for people to research goods and services, engaging a local SEO optimisation service will enable you to get to the top of search engines for each of your target markets.

Better Online Visibility

Better Online Visibility

When a prospective customer searches for ‘Electrician in Brownstown’, local SEO will enable you to appear at the results, even if your company has a national competitor that has few local staff servicing that area. Many people like to support local companies. Local SEO makes it easier for customers to find you.

Better Brand Awareness

Better Brand Awareness

Local SEO enables you to build brand awareness in the areas where you operate, without expensive advertising campaigns. With many people seeking ‘recommendations’ from others in their area via social media, a strong local SEO presence that brings you to the top of search engine results will reinforce the recommendations from others and enable you to convert more prospects to customers.

Higher Quality Leads

Higher Quality Leads

Local SEO optimisation services improve the quality of your sales leads, due to the customised nature of the search engine results you achieve. Your high ranks will seem ‘organic’ and based on your reputation, popularity, relevance and close proximity. This is quite different to appearing at the top of search pages via a ‘sponsored ad’, which many people will now ignore.

Target Entire Sales Funnel

Target Entire Sales Funnel

When a reputable SEO optimisation service like Blurn develops a high quality local SEO strategy, your sales funnel increases, as you appear at the top of more searches in more areas. This enables you to reach more people throughout their purchasing journey, from when they first learn about you, to when they research what you offer, to when they decide to buy from you.

Save on Paid Ad Spend

Save on Paid Ad Spend

People are increasingly reluctant to click on paid ads. Strong local SEO, through methods including optimum keyword implementation, enables you to rank highly in search engine results ‘naturally’, without additional expense. Blurn’s extensive keyword research ensures your website uses the same words your prospective customers are using, in each local area.

Increase Company Valuation

Increase Company Valuation

If you are considering selling your business, or wish to attract additional business partners, shareholders or investors, a strong local online presence may increase the value of your company and its appeal to the people you wish to influence. Local SEO also means you will be deemed to have local authority and a natural ‘presence’ – and pipeline of customers.

Disadvantages of Local SEO Compared to Other Methods

Local SEO is a highly profitable digital marketing strategy that, through technical back-end work, enables you to be more visible in search engine rankings, even though your business may be smaller than competitors in the local area. There are, however, some disadvantages over other methods, such as paid advertising.

Results Take Time

Results Take Time

Local SEO takes time to generate visible results. The time before you see results may leave you wondering if your SEO strategy has failed and if you should have paid for advertising instead. Rest assured that a competent local SEO agency like Blurn will guarantee top rank results. It just may need some patience on your part.

Technically Challenging

Technically Challenging

Local SEO is complex. Search engines like Google consider a large number of factors, or ‘metrics’, when deciding on search rankings. In fact, there are more than 300 metrics that Google considers. For this reason, local SEO is best done by a local SEO optimisation service that understands the complexity of local SEO and the constantly-changing algorithms.

SEO Success Vs Failure for Small Businesses

There are some common factors that make the difference between success and failure when local SEO is used to increase leads, sales and profitability.

Target setting

Target setting

As part of developing a local SEO strategy, it’s crucial that you comprehensively research the local areas where you wish to increase your brand awareness and sales. Does that area have enough customers to make your use of a local SEO optimisation service worthwhile? What measure will you use to assess the success of your campaign?

Strategy

Strategy

Your local SEO strategy must take into account all aspects of your business that may impact results. This includes your strengths over competitors, as well as external factors. For example, if you’re a builder that’s worked on an estate where arsenic was discovered, your strategy will need to consider how you will overcome people’s association of you and arsenic.

Focus

Focus

It’s important that your local SEO strategy focuses on what will give you the biggest RoI. For example, improving the online content may yield the best results for one business, whilst improving the local citations and backlinks may be crucial for yours. Your local SEO agency must have the expertise to determine which SEO strategy will achieve the best results for you.

On-page SEO

On-page SEO

To improve your local SEO, it is critical that your on-page SEO is the best it can be. This includes localising your content, using keyword-rich title tags, ensuring your content is relevant and useful to your customers and optimising your URLs, amongst other things. Each factor has a different importance for search engines. Make sure you focus on the most important SEO elements, first.

Quality of backlinks

Quality of backlinks

To achieve maximum success with local SEO, it’s crucial that your backlinks and citations come from reputable, relevant and local websites. Blurn specialises in securing high quality and highly localised backlinks and citations. This is time consuming and complex to achieve, but yields great results.

Trustworthy SEO partner

Trustworthy SEO partner

Local SEO is complex, especially if your business has a very specific and potentially limited market. It is crucial that you partner with a local SEO optimisation service that has demonstrated achievements and ‘rungs on the board’ in assisting other companies with local SEO.

Monitoring the Results

Monitoring the Results

As local SEO often takes time to achieve results, it is very important that you, or your local SEO partner, are constantly monitoring results. Local SEO is not a ‘one and done’ strategy. For best results, it requires ongoing monitoring of results, algorithms, markets etc. Your local SEO optimisation service should do this as part of their work with you.

Content

Content

In addition to using optimal keywords, URLs and localising every aspect possible, your online content must always be original (written by a human, not AI), relevant to your customers, reputable, authoritative and accurate. Good local SEO optimisation services can help to improve your content if needed or, if they’re a full service agency like Blurn, write all of your online content for you.

Our Proven AI-Friendly & Future-Proof Process That Guarantees Results in Local SEO

1. Research Optimum Keywords
To be seen by as many of your potential customers as possible, it’s critically important that your website uses the exact words that your local customers use when they are researching companies that offer what you do. For example, if your website refers to a particular shopping precinct by its official name, but your customers use its colloquial name, you may not appear as high up in search engine rankings as you could, even though your business is based in that shopping precinct.

At Blurn, we conduct extensive keyword research to determine which words and phrases your customers are most commonly using in their searches. We then determine how well each of the words and phrases ranks in search engine results. This enables us to optimise your content so that it uses more of the language your customers are using, helping you to rise in search results.

We also constantly monitor changes to search engine algorithms, which enables us to direct more leads and traffic to your doorstep.
2. Conduct Search Rank Analytics
With any local SEO, it’s important to know where you rank now, and where you could rank with further optimisation. We use the latest tools for local SEO to determine your current search ranks, and determine what is possible for your website once a stronger local SEO strategy is implemented.

As part of our local search rank analytics assessment, we determine:
  • which specific local keywords are in common use in each of the local areas you wish to target
  • the outcomes your competitors are achieving in each local area when these keywords are used
  • which local SEO strategy will achieve the highest increase in ranks, profitability, leads and conversions for you, for each local area
  • changes that can be made to your website content to enable it to be seen by more people from your target market, which may include how many landing pages you need, optimum page content length etc.
3. Audit Website
We conduct a detailed audit of your existing website to determine what’s working well for you and what’s letting you down. We use the best-available tools to analyse every single page in depth for factors such as: structural problems; on-page content (relevance, authoritativeness, general quality, originality, length); on-page issues; off-page errors; page load speed; user experience issues; and changes needed to ensure your website is achieving as much for you as possible.

Our local SEO optimisation specialists then measure the three key measures of optimisation: Conversion Rate Optimisation, Search Engine Optimisation and Website Performance Optimisation.

All in all, the website audit means we know which changes will achieve the best return on investment for you, all prioritised so that you can choose which strategies to implement, if you have budgetary limitations.
4. Improve Infrastructure
To ensure your web infrastructure is working for you, and not against you, we look at your website through our ‘search engine eyes’, by assessing your website’s code and hundreds of HTML elements in the same way a search engine does. This includes accessibility, operational ability, content quality, content relevancy and website code. We then meticulously improve each HTML element, one by one. This may include adding image alt texts, ensuring a mix of keywords throughout your content, including a robots.txt file, using correct tags and using heading tags that have many keywords. This improves the ability of search engines to ‘crawl’ and better understand your website, improving your rankings.
5. Improve Context and User Experience (UX)
Search engines like Google want users to have a positive experience when they visit websites. They rank user experience very highly. If your website is frustrating for people to navigate, find the information they’re seeking and achieve their reason for visiting, your website will be down ranked. We ensure that your site is easy for people to use and improve the relevancy and quality of your content, including through the use of higher ranking keywords.
6. Acquire High-Quality Links and PR
Websites that ‘stand alone’ in the internet and have no connectivity or links with other websites are deemed unfavourably by search engines. One of the ways by which you can improve your rankings and organic reach is by having high quality websites include links from their website to yours, known as ‘backlinking’. For local SEO, it’s critical that these websites are local, rather than generic sites that have little relevance to the local area.

At Blurn, we go to considerable lengths to acquire high quality and very localised links that will improve your rankings. This is slow and painstaking work but has a significant pay off in improving your local visibility.

In addition to link acquisition, we develop press release campaigns to increase traffic to your site. We can also connect you with our social media specialists to improve the efficacy of your social media and ensure it is working synergistically with your website to achieve maximum local brand awareness, leads and conversions.

7. Gather Data
Once the above improvements have been implemented, we continuously gather intelligence on how your website is now performing, using the latest and best tools available from Google and other SEO software developers. This information enables us to determine which local SEO elements are achieving the most for you and which need further improvements.
8. Review Results & Repeat
Implementing a local SEO strategy that generates stellar results for you is our ultimate goal. Increases in your profitability, conversions, quality of leads and size of your sales pipeline are the ultimate measure of the effectiveness of any local SEO strategy.

As your local SEO optimisation service provider, we adopt a continuous improvement approach and constantly review your results, identify where further improvements can be made, implement them and repeat. When you partner with us, we provide ongoing service rather than a one-off. This means that your site will be achieving maximum ranks, and performance, at all times.

FAQ

What will happen when AI and local SEO come together?
The online landscape will change considerably, but we believe local SEO will remain integral to achieving high search ranking results. In fact, local SEO may become even more important. Blurn’s research and development team constantly monitors the impacts of AI and SEO on its clients’ online performance and adjusts strategies as needed. If you wish to ensure you can make the most of the likely increasing use of AI, your website(s) will need to be AI- and voice query-friendly. We will be happy to help you with that and train your staff in how to do this themselves.
What size companies does Blurn work with?
We work with any company that wishes to improve its digital performance. Whether you’re a one person start up, or the largest corporate employer in the world, we can help with local SEO. We help any business that wishes to improve its profitability via better digital marketing, including through local SEO, social media, paid advertising, improved web design, app development etc. If you have an idea, we’d love to hear it.
What is covered in Blurn’s local SEO?
Blurn’s unique eight step methodology for local SEO includes all aspects that are needed to improve search rankings. We address each of the three pillars of SEO – technical, on-page and off-page. We take full responsibility for improving each of these aspects which, when optimised to the maximum extent possible, achieves unparalleled increases in search engine rankings. In simple terms, that means more conversions, more leads and more profits. We consider your growth targets then determine the best local SEO strategy to ensure you achieve them.

For SEO, can I use AI content generation tools?
Although search engines use AI extensively when assessing rankings, they frown upon businesses using AI to write their online content. Using AI to write your content will save you time, but will also likely see you be downranked. To achieve best results, your online content must be original (written by a human, not by AI), relevant to your customers, demonstrate authoritativeness and be an appropriate page length.
Can Blurn help write content for local SEO?
Indeed we can. We are a full service digital marketing agency that can help with all aspects of SEO, from off-page coding to on-page content. Our writers work closely with our SEO teams in producing always-unique content that represents your business in the best light possible and implements optimum keywords.
Can Blurn help with backlinks for local SEO?
Yes. Acquiring high quality and local backlinks is another of our specialties. These are a critical component of local SEO and can be hard to acquire. As your local SEO optimisation service, we invest time in acquiring a sizeable number of backlinks that come from other local businesses, as this is one of the factors search engines look for when suggesting your business for location-specific searches.
