What is local SEO and how does it differ from regular SEO?

Local SEO and regular SEO share the same foundations but serve different goals. Here is how they compare:

Local SEO:

  • Focuses on helping your business appear in search results when people nearby are searching for your product or service
  • Involves location-specific content, local citations, and Google Business Profile management
  • Uses targeted landing pages built around search terms relevant to your location and surrounding areas
  • Is ideal if your primary goal is to reach customers in Bedford and grow your local presence

Regular SEO:

  • Targets broader search terms without a geographic focus
  • Aims to reach audiences across the UK or beyond
  • Builds domain authority and organic search visibility at a national level
  • Is ideal if you want to grow your business reach beyond Bedford and Bedfordshire
