Boost Your Local VisibilityWhat is Local SEO?
Local SEO is the practice of optimizing your online presence to attract business from local searches. These searches often have geographic qualifiers like "near me" or include location names—"plumber in Griffintown" or "meilleur restaurant Mile End."

Key components of local SEO include:
- Google Business Profile optimization
- Local citation building and NAP consistency
- Location-specific keyword targeting
- Review generation and management
- Local link building and community engagement
