Local & National SEO

Spark Solutions Digital Marketing

What’s the Difference between Local and National SEO?

Understanding the right SEO strategy for your company can make all the difference in your digital marketing success. While you may be familiar with SEO in general, knowing whether to focus on local or national SEO is crucial for maximizing your online visibility.

LOCAL SEO
helps businesses target customers in specific geographic areas, making your company more visible to people searching within your community or region. It puts your business on the map—literally—by optimizing for location-based keywords (geo modifiers) and Google Business Profile.
NATIONAL SEO
casts a wider net by targeting audiences across the entire country. It focuses on building your overall online authority without geographic limitations, helping you compete on a broader scale.
Which approach is right for your business?
The answer depends on your goals, target audience, and the nature of your products or services. Some businesses benefit from combining both strategies to capture local customers while also building national brand recognition. Helpful content is the #1 ranking factor in SEO today. To compete in a larger geographic area, we focus on creating effective and relevant content.
