    What is local SEO?

    Google looks first at your reviews and profile

    When someone searches for "plumber near me" or "best restaurant Antwerp", Google first shows the Local Pack — the top 3 businesses on the map.

    How do you get in there? Not by spending thousands on technical SEO. Google's own research shows that reviews and your Google Business Profile account for more than 60% of your local ranking.

    Traditional SEO (link building, technical optimization) is important, but for local businesses it's the cherry on top — not the foundation. The foundation is your reputation.
