SEO: Local

Guides local SEO: Google Business Profile, NAP consistency, and citation building. Businesses with accurate NAP across 40+ authoritative sites see ~19% higher visibility in Google Maps. Use this skill when optimizing for local search, setting up GBP, or auditing citations.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

**Project context:** Read root `{project}.md` when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.

Identify: 1. **Business type**: Storefront vs service-area 2. **Location**: Single or multiple 3. **Current listings**: Existing GBP, directories

NAP Consistency

**NAP** = Name, Address, Phone. Critical for local rankings.

| Rule | Guideline | |------|-----------| | **Exact match** | "Street" vs "St." or "LLC" inconsistency = Google may treat as different entities | | **Fix first** | Audit and fix inconsistencies before adding new citations | | **Tools** | BrightLocal, Whitespark, Moz Local for audit |

Google Business Profile

| Element | Guideline | |---------|-----------| | **Address** | Physical address; no P.O. boxes | | **Description** | 750 chars; primary keywords in first 100 | | **Hours** | Accurate; seasonal availability | | **Category** | Primary category matches business type | | **Service-area** | Hide address if no storefront; define service areas |

Citation Building

**Targeted precision** over submitting to every directory.

**Priority order**: 1. Google Business Profile 2. Apple Maps 3. Yelp, Bing Places, Facebook 4. Better Business Bureau, Foursquare, Nextdoor 5. Niche directories (Healthgrades, Angi, etc.)

Citation Audit

  • Incorrect or outdated data
  • Duplicate entries
  • Missing listings on key directories

Fix before adding; compounding errors harm rankings.

Output Format

  • **NAP** (exact format for consistency)
  • **GBP** optimization checklist
  • **Citation** priority list
  • **Audit** findings (if applicable)

Related Skills

  • **geo**: GEO for AI search; local + AI overlap
  • **localization-strategy**: Multilingual; local + i18n
  • **directory-submission**: Directory listings; different from local citations
