Optimizing Local SEO for Handyman Business

Local SEO is an essential part of how we boost your online presence. More than 7/10 people will use search engines to find companies, including handyman services, in their region. This means that 70% of searchers are looking locally for companies they trust. That's why it's integral to use local SEO to bridge the gap between those searchers and your business. By helping them find you easily, you can quickly turn a prospect into a loyal customer. 

How Does Local SEO Work?

This tool uses highly localized keywords to target people working and/or living in your service area. Usually, it incorporates search terms consumers are inputting, including your city, county or even neighborhood. This increases your business' ranking on search engine results pages (commonly referred to as SERPs) in the specific locations you're looking to target. Not only are you able to appear higher up on major search engineswhere your prospective clients can actually find youbut you can also promote your business in communities where you'd like to gain more clients. 

For instance, an Ottawa homeowner might be looking for someone to re-tile their bathroom. They'll likely input “tile repair Ottawa.” If your website has been optimized to appear in organic search results for this term, then it will rank on Google's first page. This way, you get to capitalize on a warm lead. After all, this hypothetical client is actively searching for a handyman business. For a handyman marketing strategy the entire purpose of improving your search engine visibility is to connect with clients who are ready to use your services.

What is SEO and How Will Doing it Properly Help My Business?

Search engine optimization, also known as SEO, is the process of tailoring your website, social media platforms and Google My Business account to make your online presence more easily found by search engines. The primary search engine most companies target with their content is Google. There are a few ways you can optimize your site, but usually SEO is divided into two camps: on-page and off-page SEO. 

What's the Difference?

As the name suggests, on-page SEO entails anything that you have direct control over on your site. This could include formatting your website, such as revamping your landing pages, publishing content that incorporates keywords, and more. 

Keywords are an essential part of any SEO strategy–which is why our analysts complete thorough research before we write any content for you. Keywords are how Google “reads” your website and judges whether it's helpful and relevant to online searchers and consumers. The Google algorithm is a secret, but we know it uses a “search engine crawler” to scan through online content. Then, it pulls up results that match the search query best. It's imperative your handyman content includes keywords and topics searchers are looking for so you can increase your online visibility.

Off-page SEO is anything that you don't directly control on your page, yet factors into your site's authority. Usually, a backlinking campaign is the best way to build authority for your website. This involves having links to your content placed on other websites. Google judges backlinks as authoritative because they illustrate that another user thinks your content is reliable.

Why Search Ranking Matters for Handyman Services?

Without ranking organically through implementing an SEO strategy, your website is basically invisible to Google. This means it's also invisible to your target audience. If consumers can't find you, how are they supposed to book your handyman business? These days, most people don't look past Google's first page when it comes to finding a business they want to hire; this first-page spot captures the majority of clicks on average.

Think about it, if your competitors are ranking and you're not, it will be almost impossible to gain clicks. Clicks to your website lead to booked jobs and paying customers—increasing your bottom line. Also, organic traffic has significantly higher conversion rates compared to other forms of advertising like PPC (pay-per-click). This is because consumers think organic search results are more trustworthy than paid Google Ads.

How Long Does SEO for Handyman Services Take?

It's important to know that organic search results are a long-term strategy. It can take between 6 and 9 months for optimized content to start ranking. The length of time depends on how competitive the keywords you're trying to rank for are.

This might sound like a long time. Maybe you're even wondering, “Why not just pay for Google Ads?” Search ads do offer more immediate returns, but that advantage does not last. Unlike SEO, which is like the gift that keeps on giving. Not to mention, Google Ads are incredibly expensive, and the cost only goes up the more and more competitive your keyword becomes. 

What's Better: SEO or PPC?

Without a doubt, SEO has a far greater return on investment than pay-per-click ads. This is because successful SEO campaigns operate on a positive feedback loop. Once your content begins ranking, more and more prospects will click on it. The more organic traffic your website gets, the more Google thinks it's authoritative. This means your content continues to rank. 

That said, PPC has its place. It can be used strategically to help new companiesor handyman services that don't have much of an online presencegain clicks. Also, PPC is a great opportunity to run A/B tests to see what truly connects with your target audience. To get the most out of your digital marketing strategy, we suggest a multi-pronged approach that includes using SEO to boost your organic search visibility and paid ads to garner initial interest.
