Yerel SEO paket fiyatlaması nedir?

Web sitesi optimizasyonu, birçok işlemi birleştiren ve farklı görevleri ele almayı amaçlayan karmaşık bir süreçtir. Böyle bir şekilde arama motoru optimizasyonu, coğrafi bir seviyede (işletmenizin gücünü artırmak istediğiniz alan), işletmenizin büyüklüğü, pazar nişiniz ve iş amaçlı olarak değişebilir.

Coğrafi olarak optimizasyon, yerel, ülke ve küresel ayrılabilir. Yerel SEO, küçük online mülklerin optimizasyonu olup, yerel bir arama sonucunda potansiyel müşteriler tarafından görülebilir. Yerel SEO, yerelleştirilmiş arama türleri ile ilgilidir. Kural olarak, yerel optimizasyon hizmetleri ülke ve ulusal SEO'dan biraz daha düşük maliyetlidir ve küresel SEO'dan çok daha düşüktür. Yerel düzeyde nispeten düşük rekabet gücü seviyesi ile açıklanabilir. Ayrıca, Google'da rütbe ederseniz, Google My Business seçeneğiyle arama sonuçları sayfasının en üstünde yer almak için gerçek bir şansa sahipsiniz. Bu fırsat sayesinde Google, hem yerel aramalarda hem de işletmelerde yaşamı kolaylaştırıyor. Ayrıca bir kullanıcı bir coğrafi modifikatör olmadan arama yaptığında, yerelleştirilmiş sonuçlar elde edebilirsiniz.

Tuğla ve harç işiniz varsa ve yerel olarak kendi gücünü artırmak istiyorsanız, bu kılavuz yerel optimizasyon kampanyanızı, nerede olmanız gerektiğini göstermek için hazırlanmanıza yardımcı olacaktır.

Yerel SEO sıralama faktörleri

Hangi yönlerin optimizasyon kampanyanızın temelinde olması gerektiğini anlamak için hangi faktörlerin yerel sıralama faktörlerini etkilediğini anlamanız gerekir. Bu sıralamaları neyin etkilediğini tartışalım.

Sektör araştırmasına göre sekiz temel faktör yerel organik sıralamaları etkiliyor:

  •  İş ilanları 

(arama terimleri iş başlıklarında, yakınlık, kategorilerde);

  •  Bağlantı sinyalleri 

(etki alanı yetkisini ve miktarını bağlayan, gelen çapa metni);

  •  Sayfa başı sinyalleri 

(başlıktaki anahtar kelimeler, etki alanı yetkisi, NAP, kullanıcı dostu olma vb.);

(atıf hacmi, NAP tutarlılığı, vb.);

(gözden geçirme hızı, inceleme miktarı, gözden geçirme çeşitliliği, vb.); Davranışsal sinyaller

(tıklama oranı, indirmeler, check-in'ler, abonelikler, vb.);

  •  Kişiselleştirme
  • Ses sinyalleri

(Google angajman, sosyal medya katılımı vb.).

Dolayısıyla, bu anketten gördüğünüz gibi, iş işaretlerim ilk sıralarda yer alıyor. Google My Business hesabınızı doğru bir şekilde optimize edin ve şirketinizle ilgili gerekli tüm bilgileri doldurun.

Listeden aşağıya indiğinizde, bağlantıların da hayati olduğu kadar sayfa içi SEO ve sosyal varlığın da olduğunu anlayabilirsiniz.

Google My Business hesabınız kurulduktan ve optimize edildiğinde, bağlantı sinyalleri ve sayfa içi optimizasyona geçebilirsiniz.

Sayfa içi optimizasyon, sağlıklı çevrimiçi görünürlük için gereklidir. hedef kitlenizin hedeflediği anahtar kelimeler için sayfalarınızı sıralamanız gerekir.

Web sitenizi yerel olarak derecelendirmeye çalıştığınızdan emin olmanız için bazı önemli optimizasyon yönleri vardır: Her şeyden önce, web sitenizin yapısını açılış sayfalarını sıralamaya koyun. Bu optimizasyon prosedürü, çok sayıda şehirde iş yapan tüccarlar için bir zorunluluktur. Bu durumda, web sitenizi, sunduğunuz her alan için birden fazla açılış sayfasına sahip olacak şekilde ayarlayabilirsiniz. İkinci olarak, başlık etiketlerinizi, meta açıklamalarınızı, başlıklarınızı ve içeriğinizi iyileştirerek hedeflenen arama terimleriyle zenginleştirmeniz gerekir. Marka, şehir ve hedeflenen arama terimlerinizi başlık etiketlerinize ve sayfanıza eklemelisiniz.

Ayrıca, web sitenizdeki şema formatı üzerinde çalışmanız gerekir. Adınızı, adresinizi ve şirket telefon numaranızı şema formatında sitenize eklediğinizden emin olmanız gerekir.

Yerel iş için iyi görünürlük için gerekli olan bir şey daha bir Google haritası. Bu nedenle, yerel araştırmacıların sizi kolayca bulabileceği ve müşterileriniz olabilmesi için konumunuza bir Google haritası yerleştirmeniz gerekiyor.

Ancak, kullanıcıları yerel web sayfanızda tıklatmak yeterli değildir; onları dönüştürmene ihtiyaç duyarsın. Site dönüşüm oranınızı iyileştirmek için, harekete geçirici bir harekete geçirme eklemeniz gerekir.

Önce ne yapacaklarını söylemek için kullanıcılarınıza rehberlik etmeli ve BTA'ları kullanmalısınız. Ayrıca, dönüşümün iyileştirilmesi için, kullanıcılara hizmetinize güven vermeniz gerekir. Bu görevi yerine getirmek için, müşteri incelemelerini sayfanıza yerleştirmeniz gerekir.

Yerel web sitenizi kullanıcı dostu yapmak için düşünmeniz gereken bir şey daha mobil yanıt verme özelliğidir. Günümüzde, aramaların en önemli kısmı, özellikle yerel düzeyde mobil cihazları yürütüyor. Dolayısıyla, mobil cihazlarda doğru şekilde görüntülendiğinden emin olmak için sitenizi mobil uyumlu hale getirmeniz önemlidir..Sitenizin mobil cihazlara uygun olup olmadığını kontrol etmek için ücretsiz Google'ın mobil cihazlara uygun testini geçebilirsiniz.

Günümüzde, yerel harita sonuçları web sitesinin sıralama sinyalleri tarafından çok etkilenmektedir. Harita sıralaması değilseniz, web kaynağınıza daha güçlü sinyaller vermenizin nedeni olabilir. Yukarıda bahsedilen optimizasyon hizmetlerinin hepsi, yerel arama sonuçlarının TOP sıralamasında size yardımcı olur ve günlük olarak daha fazla sayıda ödeme yapan potansiyel müşteri çeker.

Bu alandaki bilgi birikiminiz yoksa, bir optimizasyon şirketi veya yerel SEO danışmanı kiralamak daha iyi. Profesyonel SEO uzmanlarıyla işbirliği, işletmenizi iyi sıralamış ve müreffeh yapacaktır. Bir sonraki paragrafta, yerel SEO ajansları tarafından sağlanan farklı optimizasyon paketlerini tartışacağım. Bu bilgi, optimizasyon şirketi için doğru seçim yapmanıza ve daha yüksek bir yatırım getirisi elde etmenize yardımcı olacaktır.

Yerel SEO fiyatlandırma paketleri

Orta ve küçük ölçekli işletmeler için ortalama yerel optimizasyon kampanyaları, aylık 2.000 ABD dolarından 5.500 ABD Doları'na kadar değişir. Bazı faktörler yerel SEO fiyatlandırmasını etkiler:

  •  Alıntılar 

Web sitenizi son derece yetkili hale getirmek istiyorsanız, TOP çevrimiçi dizinler. Sıraladığınız piyasa nişlerine göre 100 alıntı yapmanız gerekebilir. Alıntı yaparken, aylık 200 dolara mal olabilir. Sitenizi daha otoriter hale getirmenin ve kullanıcıların dikkatini çekmenin bir başka yolu, sitenize geri dönerek ilgili bağlantılar kurmaktır. Etkili bir bağlantı kurma kampanyası, yalnızca bağlantı geliştirme için ayda 500 dolardan 2000 dolara mal olabilir. Fiyat, aynı zamanda sektörünüze ve iş hedeflerinize de bağlı olacaktır.

  •  Konumlar 

Çoklu işletme konumlarıyla tek bir web kaynağınız varsa, çok yerli yerel SEO kampanyalarını yönetmeniz gerekir. Başka bir deyişle, her bir konum optimizasyonu için ayrıca ödeme yapmanız gerekecek. Her yere 1,500 dolara mal olacak.

Isabella Scott
If I have multiple locations for my business, should I create separate websites or use a single website for all locations?

With creativity and resourcefulness, small businesses can still achieve effective local SEO results within their budgetary constraints.
Emily Reed
Does the domain age or registration length affect local SEO performance? Should I consider renewing my domain for a longer period?
Nelson Gray
Hi Emily! The domain age and registration length are factors that can indirectly influence local SEO performance. Search engines view older domains as more established and trustworthy, which can potentially have a positive impact on search rankings. However, this factor alone is not a major determinant, and the impact is likely to be minimal compared to other crucial optimization aspects. As for registration length, it's not proven to directly affect SEO performance. Renewing your domain for a longer period can provide stability and demonstrate your commitment, but it's not a significant ranking factor on its own. Focus on creating valuable content, optimizing your website, and implementing other local SEO best practices for optimal results.

Duplicate listings can split your online authority and impact your search rankings. It's important to identify and consolidate any duplicate listings by claiming and managing your business profiles on relevant platforms. Verify that your NAP information is consistent across all directories, and request removal of duplicate or outdated listings if necessary. Maintaining accurate and consistent online citations ensures search engines have a clear understanding of your business information and enhances your local visibility.
Henry Long
What role does social media play in local SEO? Should I prioritize it in my overall strategy?
Nelson Gray

While social media signals themselves may not directly impact search rankings, social media platforms can help increase your brand visibility, engagement, and referral traffic. Building an active social media presence allows you to connect with your local community, share valuable content, and foster customer relationships. By encouraging social sharing of your content and engaging with local audiences, you can generate more awareness and potentially attract backlinks to your website, which indirectly impacts search rankings.

Joining relevant forums or communities where industry professionals discuss algorithm updates can provide valuable insights. Attend industry conferences or webinars and engage in ongoing learning to keep yourself updated on the latest algorithmic changes.

Does local SEO have any impact on voice search? Should I consider optimizing for voice queries as well?
Nelson Gray
Hi Victoria! Local SEO does have an impact on voice search, which is becoming increasingly popular. The rise of voice-activated virtual assistants and smart speakers means more people are using voice commands to search for local businesses or services. Optimizing for voice queries involves understanding the natural language and conversational tone used in voice searches.

Are there any alternatives to Google My Business for local businesses that want to improve their online presence?
Nelson Gray
Hi Christopher! While Google My Business is a powerful platform for improving the online presence of local businesses, there are alternatives available as well. One alternative is Bing Places for Business, which allows you to manage your business listing on Bing search engine. Another option is Apple Maps Connect, which focuses on local search results for Apple Maps. Both platforms provide opportunities to enhance your local visibility, attract customers, and manage business information. Additionally, industry-specific directories or platforms like Yelp, TripAdvisor, or HomeAdvisor can be beneficial based on your business type. Exploring multiple online directories or platforms that align with your target audience can help diversify your online presence and improve visibility outside of Google.

Can local SEO help my business attract tourists or visitors from outside my local area?
Nelson Gray
Hi Amelia! Local SEO primarily focuses on attracting local customers within your targeted geographic area. However, it can indirectly help attract tourists or visitors from outside your local area as well. By effectively optimizing your website content and online presence, you increase your chances of appearing in broader search results that include location-specific keywords or phrases. Potential tourists or visitors searching for specific services, activities, or attractions in your local area may discover your business through local search results. Additionally, positive online reviews and a strong online reputation can contribute to attracting visitors who trust the local businesses within the area they plan to visit. While primarily geared towards local customers, local SEO can indirectly support tourism and visitor attraction efforts.
