Local SEO Tutorial – The Ultimate Guide To Ranking Locally
Local SEO Tutorial – The Ultimate Guide To Ranking Locally covers everything anyone could ever need to know about ranking their local business higher.
This local search engine optimization video is perfect for any business owner. I use a landscaping company located in Miami as an example.
I begin by reviewing the Google Business Profile. GBP is imperative if you want to rank locally. A well optimized GBP can help generate more leads than another source. We review the GBP with a grid search and match it against the top ranking competitors.
The domain is reviewed, and we discover how many backlinks are linking to our site. We upload the keyword information and all other domain data to the checklist.
The speed of the core web vital assessment is close to passing and when you run your business through the CWV test, ensure you monitor the mobile results.
No local SEO tutorial is complete without analyzing a competitor of the business. We review the top ranking performance and identify what they have done so well to enable them to have the top map pack spot.
Finally, we plan how we will approach the local SEO campaign with the evidence we have gathered.

6 Most Important Google Ranking Signals You Should Know to Improve Your Ranking [in 2022]
In this video, I am going to share with you the 6 Google Ranking Signals you should know to boost your website ranking. Keep Watching!
The SEO game is changing all the time as Google is constantly updating its algorithm to provide a better user experience. Furthermore, Google is reported to change its search algorithm around 500 to 600 times each year.
This can bring a lot of pressure on SEOs to stay ahead of the competition and keep improving the ranking of their company or client websites.
And not only that but to actually get ahead of your competitors you have to move from reactive business to proactive and anticipate Google’s next move before they do that.
Otherwise, you face so much competition that is trying to take the sweet first page. So, like in business, you must collect all the data that are available and transform it into insights that help you make a smarter and more informed decision.
And that is what I have done past 2 years, I have collected as much information about Google’s recent and future planned updates and noticed that they are heavily investing in improving engagement and user experience ranking signals.
Therefore, these are my top 6 ranking factors that I believe you should know and focus on to boost your ranking and organic traffic.

2) Keyword and Latent Semantic Keyword Targeting

4) Multi Intent Search Queries “People Also Ask”
5) Freshness of Content
6) Protection of Website
Conclusion
While there is not an exact number how many of ranking signals is Google using to determine the site ranking, generally is known that there are over 200+ ranking factors.
Of course, some of them are less ranking signal and some are more and within this article, I wanted to share with you some of the ranking factors that you should pay close attention in order to improve your site ranking and drive more organic traffic to your website.
In my personal opinion of watching how my websites and my client’s websites are ranking, also from news and experts’ opinions, the most important ranking signals are around engagement and user experience.
Things like average time on the website, bounce rate, backlink, safe experience, website speed, etc. are user experience and engagement metrics that Google seems to focus on to deliver a great user experience to their users.
Therefore, my final advice is you should pay close attention to your engagement metrics and user experience as these can move the needle by a bit.
