Consumers today want a personalised experience and engagement with local businesses. The majority of these consumers will visit a website of a local business, that is their first impression and first point of contact. In order to gain the trust of local consumers, companies need to focus on providing quality interactions and valuable content.

In 2023, more consumers are moving to buy from online stores for products and services they need with forty nine percent wanting to buy from a local business. Google has been focusing their attention on delivering an excellent online shopping experience and providing local businesses to consumers around the world.

There has been a shift in buying behaviour from consumers since the coronavirus and more people are now turning to online stores to save them valuable time and energy. This means companies need to pay close attention to the quality of their content, how relevant their content is, providing videos and real time reviews. Consumer interaction has become more important than ever before this year.

Local takes up approximately forty percent of all organic traffic. Customer journeys for local includes numerous stages. It is important to take these stages into consideration, providing data over multiple channels, while offering the best customer experience. Local search engine optimisation is becoming more interactive and visual this year. Your audiences are looking for visual experiences, using TikTok and Instagram for information on shopping and dining experiences.

“Videos can help to deliver relevant information, but many businesses are not making use of them,” said Anoop Krishnan, the Marketing Director at Indazo. “Video search is localised, based on the users location and device they are using. Once they click on a video, they can be taken directly to a business website. Social media is valuable for local businesses to directly influence decisions which are based on experience factors offered through images and videos.”

Local search engine marketing also focuses extensively on reviews and ratings. Many consumers rely on reviews and ratings when making any purchasing decisions. At the same time, valuable content is essential to provide users with the information that they are looking for.
