Local positioning

Q: What is local on-site and off-site positioning?

On-site local SEO. If you have a company domain, it's essential to optimize your content for local content. Companies that target local customers, in particular, must consider several factors important for local SEO, such as: using phrases in the "about me" description that relate to your business and location, such as "beautician Poznań," providing the company's exact address along with contact information (it's worth using special schema tags), filling the texts that will appear on the website with keywords. These should include words related to the city, optimizing headings and meta tags, and including a Google Maps marker that will quickly and accurately help customers find your company's location. Off-site local SEO. Off-site activities, i.e., external activities that influence your website's SEO optimization, should also be implemented locally. Acquiring links that lead to or relate to your company's activities is crucial here. When it comes to external SEO, you should also consider: acquiring links to your website, preferably local ones, such as from news outlets, city or municipal offices, or thematic websites related to a given region; adding your business profile to a business directory, which should also include the company's exact address and contact information; positive customer reviews on Google and social media; and participating in local and industry-specific online forums. Published content should be substantive to avoid being considered spam.

Q: Geolocation and its impact on SEO

Geolocation, which allows for the determination of a user's geographic location, is a crucial factor influencing search results. Previously, the results displayed were also dependent on the search engine's national domain. This means that by entering a given phrase through google.pl, you would receive the exact same page ranking regardless of where you searched. Currently, results are tailored to a specific location, making it easier for users to find information. Of course, they don't have to rely entirely on the search engine and can specify the area for which they want information. Simply use a geolocated query, such as "pizzeria Bydgoszcz." Regardless of whether the user is currently in Warsaw or another city, Google should present a ranking for this type of restaurant in Bydgoszcz. It's worth noting, however, that the search engine's geolocation is so accurate that in large metropolitan areas it can display websites for businesses located in a specific district. The fact that many internet users still enter the phrase "+area" in the search bar may be due to habit or prior planning to visit another city. Nevertheless, this type of result personalization is a crucial SEO factor, over which the person responsible for a given website's regional SEO has little control. As a website owner, however, you should definitely create a Google My Business listing to ensure visibility on Google Maps. In addition to XML sitemaps, you also need a KML file (a geositemap), which is used by applications such as Google Earth. This file ensures that your business or location will be properly positioned in search results. Furthermore, you must also ensure regional SEO through other activities: internal (proper website and content optimization) and external (link acquisition and encouraging customer reviews).

Q: What is Google My Business and how does it help your website's local visibility?

Google My Business is an online business listing that influences local SEO. This is another essential activity that business owners should focus on when reaching users in a given region. This link, combined with a Google Map, leads to the company's homepage, benefiting not only local SEO but also brand credibility. Launching this service is very simple – and importantly, it works regardless of whether you have a company website or not. Simply create a profile by following the instructions. It must include your company name, business profile, physical address, contact information, opening hours, and optionally, your homepage. This listing increases the chances of your service appearing in SERPs, and it makes it easier for potential customers to verify and ultimately take advantage of your offer. Google My Business also influences customer interactions, as customers can post their ratings and reviews. This factor will help improve the quality of your services and identify what's not working well and what needs to be improved. However, it's important to remember that too many negative reviews can negatively impact a company's business, making it seem unreliable in the eyes of customers and ultimately overlooked. It's worth, and even necessary, to cultivate positive reviews by encouraging satisfied consumers to leave positive reviews on your company's online business listing.

Q: How do I create a Google My Business listing?

As mentioned above, creating a Google My Business listing is absolutely essential if you want your business to be recognized locally. This not only ensures your business appears in standard search results and maps, but also increases your business's credibility with Google. Creating a listing isn't a complicated process, but it does require verification via a special PIN (in most cases, sent via email to verify your actual address). Once this step is completed successfully, you'll have your own Google ID, where users can check your address, phone number, opening hours, as well as view available photos and previous customer reviews. When providing contact information (all information your customers can use to contact your company representative), you should also remember to maintain consistency. It's important to ensure the same address, phone number, and email address appear on the "Contact Us" subpage, in the Terms and Conditions attachment, and in all external sources. The algorithms will then easily associate your contact details with your business, which ultimately has a positive impact on local search results.

Local reach or broad positioning?

Every industry has its own rules. Local SEO focuses on rapid conversion and attracting customers from your local area. Broad SEO is a marathon that builds a massive stream of traffic from across the country. At Verseo, we create a strategy tailored precisely to your area of operation.

Local SEO generates quick, immediate inquiries, while broad SEO builds resilience to competitive activity and a steady flow of customers on a macro scale.

Fact · 01 / 03

46 %

all searches on Google have local intent

Lack of geographical optimization means leaving the market to the competition, while lack of broad positioning closes you off to customers looking for pre-purchase advice from all over Poland.

By combining Google Maps SEO with broad-phrase optimization, you capture traffic at every stage of the purchasing journey. As many as 42% of users searching for local services click directly on the maps section.

Search engine positioning

Be visible there, where decisions are made

Traditional paid advertising requires a fixed budget. SEO optimization works differently – it transforms your website into a permanent magnet for customers. We ensure that your website appears at the top for regional phrases (e.g., "hairdresser Poznań Jeżyce" ) or general phrases (e.g., "how to decorate a small salon" ).

Let's be honest: when was the last time you searched for a service provider on the second page of Google results?

What is local positioning?

Local SEO refers to a series of on-site and off-site activities aimed at increasing visibility for a selected set of keywords, but only within a specific area, such as a city or district. The essence of this solution is to display information to potential customers about their current location.

How does local search work?

These days, a smartphone with internet access is a fundamental database of information and services. It's what you reach for when you want to find a good restaurant in your area or swap your summer tires for winter ones. You enter a phrase with a specific city into a search engine and a moment later receive a compendium of available companies and services. Interestingly, this also happens when you search for a phrase like "hairdresser" without specifying a city. This is due to the geolocation of search results, which allows you to determine your geographical location using GPS or the device's IP address.

Today, virtually no one uses traditional paper maps anymore, as they have been replaced by technologies that not only guide users to their destinations but also point out points of interest along the way. Geolocation identifies a user's location and allows for tailored advertising, businesses, and services. It also aids in local website SEO.

Geolocation influences search results, but it's not the only factor companies or services should consider when positioning their websites. Optimizing a website for phrases containing city or region names, also known as local SEO, is still important.

What are the advantages of local positioning?

For example, imagine you're currently in a foreign city and need to use a hairdresser's services. In the past, you'd ask locals and, based on the first or most frequent answers, choose the best service provider. Today, using a search engine, you can find a specialist in a given industry in your area and read reviews about them in a much shorter time. As you can easily imagine, an effectively conducted regional SEO process, combined with a high-quality product or service, can bring numerous benefits to a regional business.

What companies should benefit from local SEO?

Not every product or service can dominate the global market, but that doesn't mean it can't achieve success in its industry. In many cases, when a company operates primarily on a regional basis, it makes no sense to position itself for general keywords, which will ultimately lead to a high bounce rate. Who should opt for local SEO? Local SEO is a good practice for all businesses, but it benefits small and medium-sized businesses and services the most, giving them the chance to break through in a competitive market.

Research conducted by Searchengineland.com shows that as many as 80% of smartphone and tablet users conduct local searches. Considering these statistics, it's even more important to prioritize your website's regional visibility.

Effective local SEO efforts should be prioritized, especially for small businesses that seek their target audience in a given region: restaurants, construction and repair services, hairdressers and beauty salons, florists, car repair shops, and specialized services. The appearance of a given regional query high in search results significantly increases the likelihood that a customer will use the service.

What is local on-site and off-site positioning?

Local on-site positioning

If you own a company domain, be sure to optimize your content for local content. Companies that target local customers, in particular, must consider several factors important for local SEO, such as:

using phrases in the “about me” description that will refer to the activity and location, e.g. “beautician Poznań”,
providing the exact address of the company along with contact details (it is worth using special schema tags),
Saturating the texts that will appear on the website with keywords. They should also include words related to the city,
optimization of headings and meta tags,
a marker on Google Maps that will help customers find the company's location quickly and accurately.

Local off-site positioning

Off-site activities, i.e., external ones that influence a website's SEO optimization, should also be implemented locally. Acquiring links that lead to or relate to the company's activities is crucial here. When it comes to external SEO, it's also important to consider:

obtaining links leading to the website, preferably those of a local nature, for example from news websites, city or municipal offices or thematic websites relating to a given region,
adding a business profile to the company directory, which should also include the company's exact address and contact details,
positive customer reviews on Google and social media,
Participating in local and industry-specific online forums. Published content should contain substantive value; otherwise, it will not be considered spam.

Geolocation and its impact on SEO

Geolocation, which allows for the determination of a website user's geographical location, is a crucial factor influencing search results. Previously, displayed results were also dependent on the search engine's national domain. This means that by entering a given phrase through google.pl, you would receive the exact same ranking regardless of the search location. Currently, results are tailored to a specific location, making finding information easier for the user. Of course, users don't have to rely entirely on the search engine and can specify the area for which they want information. Simply use a geolocated query, such as "pizzeria Bydgoszcz." Regardless of whether the user is currently in Warsaw or another city, Google should present a ranking for this type of restaurant in Bydgoszcz.

It's worth noting, however, that the search engine's geolocation is so precise that, in large metropolitan areas, it can display websites for companies located in a specific district. The fact that many internet users still enter the phrase "+area" in the search bar may be due to habit or prior planning to visit another city. Nevertheless, this type of result personalization is a very important SEO factor, over which the person responsible for a given website's regional positioning has little control.

As a website owner, you should definitely create a Google My Business listing to ensure your visibility on Google Maps. In addition to XML sitemaps, you also need a KML file (also known as a geositemap), which is used by Google Earth, among other applications. This ensures that your business or location will be properly positioned in search results. Furthermore, you must also ensure regional SEO through other measures: internal (proper website and content optimization) and external (link acquisition and encouraging customer reviews).

What is Google My Business and how does it help your website's local visibility?

Google My Business is an online business card that influences local SEO. It's another essential activity that business owners should focus on if they want to reach users in a given region. This link, combined with a Google Map, leads to the company's homepage, positively impacting not only local SEO but also brand credibility.

Launching this service is very simple – and importantly, it works regardless of whether you have a company website or not. Simply create a profile by following the instructions provided. It must include your company name, business profile, physical address, contact details, opening hours, and optionally, your homepage. This profile increases the chances of your service appearing in SERPs, and it makes it easier for potential customers to verify your service and ultimately take advantage of your offer.

Google My Business also influences customer interactions, as customers can post their ratings and reviews there. This will help improve the quality of your services and help you identify what's not working and what needs to be improved. However, it's important to remember that too many negative reviews can negatively impact your business, making it seem untrustworthy in the eyes of customers and ultimately overlooked. It's worth, and even necessary, to cultivate positive reviews by encouraging satisfied customers to leave positive reviews on your online business listing.

Does Verseo rank Google My Business listings?

Yes, Verseo handles Google listing positioning and optimization as an important element of local SEO. We combine map visibility with local website SEO to achieve the best possible results.

As part of our service, we first conduct a thorough audit of the company profile content. We verify both the technical aspects and its compliance with best practices.

Based on a Google business listing audit, we prepare and provide precise guidelines for publishing content that should be included on your Google My Business profile.

How do I create a Google My Business listing?

As highlighted above, creating a Google My Business listing is an absolute must if you want to promote your business locally. This not only ensures your business appears in standard search results and maps, but also increases your business's credibility with Google.

Setting up a business listing isn't a complicated process, but it does require verification via a special PIN (in most cases, sent via email to verify your actual address). Once this step is completed successfully, you'll have your own Google ID, where users can check your address, phone number, opening hours, as well as view available photos and previous customer reviews.

When providing contact information (i.e., all information your customers can use to contact a company representative), you should also remember to maintain consistency. It's important to ensure the same address, phone number, and email address appear on the "contact" subpage, in the terms and conditions attachment, and in all external sources. This will allow algorithms to easily associate the contact information with your business, which ultimately improves local search results.

How much does local SEO cost?

The cost depends on the area you want to promote in. At Verseo, the cost of local SEO in the smallest package is 699 PLN. Our local advertising price list includes sample packages for SEO, PPC, and social media activities dedicated to local businesses.

What is local website positioning?

Local SEO is distinguished by the fact that website modifications and linking are made with the goal of achieving the highest possible visibility in search results for a given location in mind. Google has introduced algorithm changes that allow for even closer linking of locally operating businesses with search results for their respective locations. In the case of local SEO, the appropriate selection of keywords , emphasizing local activity , is also crucial – this is when SEO is most effective.

How to best present your offer in the context of local SEO?

Examples of good practices that effectively support phrase positioning and have a positive impact on conversions include:

Address details on the websiteDue to changes in the Google algorithm aimed at providing people searching for local businesses with the most relevant results, it is very important to include them on the website
The company's address. This could be the headquarters, branch, store, showroom, workshop, showroom, etc. If the specified address is in a small town, it might be a good idea to include a mention of a larger city in the immediate vicinity. If the company has branches in various towns and provides addresses for them, there's nothing stopping you from positioning for multiple locations.
Website sizeLocal SEO is an offer aimed at the service sector, which translates into the specific nature of the websites most often encountered in this context. Websites used to present services are usually not as extensive as online stores – because they don't need to be. However, this doesn't mean that websites promoting services can afford a one-page website. Why isn't such a website a good idea for local SEO? This stems from the general preferences of web crawlers, which, based on the content available on the website, determine for search engines "what this website is about." More subpages can accommodate more content, which means web crawlers perceive such an extensive website as providing more useful information for potential customers. In this context, a one-page website appears to lack data about the offer and the company itself.
Dedicated OFFER tabIt's also beneficial if each location has its own individual subpage. A great SEO idea is to create a collective "OFFER" tab that describes the company's business profile in general, along with subpages dedicated to specific locations within the offering. In the case of restaurants, these could be separate subpages showcasing the organization's options for events such as weddings, special events, First Communions, proms, corporate catering, etc.
Unique text on each subpageDuplicates are not well-regarded by Google's web crawlers; their presence significantly slows down and complicates the process of website positioning. A way to avoid duplicate content problems is to prepare unique, original content for each subpage containing text and for the home page.
Friendly subpage addressesWhen creating new subpages that present a company's offerings in greater detail, it's worth ensuring user-friendly and concise subpage addresses, which, if possible, include a keyword specific to the given industry and accurately reflect the offer. If a company offers Roman blinds and wants to promote itself in the local market in Poznań, a URL like www.nazwa-firmy.pl/rolety-rzymskie-poznan would be a good idea for a subpage dedicated to this item in the offer and relevant to this local query.
Text of appropriate lengthOn subpages and the homepage, the importance of website content cannot be overstated. It's important to ensure that the text is comprehensive, divided into paragraphs, and visible in its entirety. A "read more" approach isn't optimal for effective SEO, although it's better than not including any content at all. Content marketing aligns well with local SEO.
Using the name of the townUsing the name of the town in which we want to promote ourselves and in the context of which we want to control the search results in the content published on the website.
Using a business addressInclude a company address located in the town or city where you want to promote your business. It's a very bad practice to include only an email address and phone number in the CONTACT section, sometimes with an incentive to use a contact form. We understand that some local companies offer in-person services. In their case, a business address isn't the most important piece of information for potential customers. However, considering algorithm changes and Google's preferences in this area, it's worth including this information on your website if you want effective local SEO and a high ranking in search results.
Google My Business ProfileIt's worth having a Google My Business profile. This tool is particularly useful for local businesses. It's worth noting that a Google My Business account and presence alone have no impact on SEO, and visibility isn't taken into account when gathering information about search engine rankings. The goal is to ensure a company's online visibility, and a Google My Business listing definitely ensures this. It also provides a wealth of useful information about the company's activities for potential customers.
Google MapsThe second area worth appearing in is Google Maps. Although positioning on Google Maps isn't possible – Google itself decides who it includes in Google Maps results (we're mentioning this because there are plenty of people who are misled and believe that Google Maps positioning exists) – it's worth ensuring that your company's listing is complete and that reviews about your company are appearing (e.g., encouraging customers to leave reviews). This can encourage Google to present your company on the map.
Quick contact on mobile devicesThe ability to quickly establish contact using mobile devices. It's worth ensuring that you can make a quick call without having to enter your phone number separately. This is a convenient solution that has a positive impact on conversion rates.
Directions to get thereDirections to a company's location are also highly sought after by local businesses. Navigational aids, information about public transportation and its accessibility, and parking recommendations are a significant convenience for potential customers and can encourage them to use a company's services.
Opinions published on the websiteAn SEO specialist views them as an additional source of content on a website, which can also be frequently updated (the systematic addition of new reviews and testimonials signals to web crawlers that something has changed on the site and is worth revisiting to index the changes; this can have a positive impact on the SEO process). For a potential customer, positive reviews can be an additional incentive to take advantage of a company's offerings. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to publish them on your website and designate a separate space for these customer testimonials within the website itself (the OPINIONS or TESTIMONIALS tab is a very good solution in this case).

What is Google business card positioning in Verseo?

Verseo specializes in Google My Business listing positioning and optimization, treating this as a key element of local SEO efforts. The goal is to increase your company's visibility in both Google search results and Google Maps, which translates into increased local traffic and brand recognition.

As part of the service, the Verseo team conducts a thorough audit of a company's profile. The analysis covers both technical aspects and assesses content for compliance with best practices and Google guidelines.

Based on the audit results, detailed recommendations are made regarding the content that should be included in your Google My Business listing. These include tips for publishing content and optimizing descriptions, categories, photos, and other profile elements to maximize its effectiveness and visibility in local search results.

How long does a local SEO contract last?

Regardless of the local SEO package you choose, we always offer a 12-month contract. We know from experience that this period allows you to experience the benefits of the SEO process, which you can read more about at this link . Of course, this doesn't mean that rankings will always appear after 12 months. Sometimes, SEO results are visible much sooner. The speed at which keywords appear in the top results depends on many factors related to the website, the phrases selected for SEO, the search engine, links, the collaboration between the agency and the client, and so on. Not all factors are equally within our control.

How to choose phrases to be clearly visible on the local market?

We suggest mixing more general, more specific, and long-tail phrases. This combination allows you to reach diverse customer groups and supports the SEO process. Experience shows that more complex phrases rank faster and, as a result, ensure website visibility even at earlier stages of the SEO process. It's also worth remembering to include the city name in your keywords. Unlike Google Ads (formerly known as Google AdWords), SEO specialists don't have the option to specify the location for which the ad should be visible. Localization is achieved through appropriate data on the website itself (e.g., the CONTACT tab) and the use of the city name in keywords.

When choosing keywords, it's also worth considering that keywords must be relevant to the website's offerings. Effective SEO for keywords that don't appear in the website's content is impossible. This is due to the search engine's design and the emphasis placed on content.

Why do we recommend monitoring at least 15 phrases?

Effective SEO ensures visibility for a virtually unlimited number of phrases related to the industry and offer listed on the keyword page. This is reflected in our monitoring of the number of phrases for which a given website appears in the top 10 and top 50 results on Google.pl. However, to meet the expectations and habits of our clients, we perform detailed daily monitoring of the most important phrases for the client, as specified in the SEO contract. In this case, we review positions daily and post their results in a dedicated panel, to which the client has unlimited access for the duration of the SEO contract.

We also optimize the website for the most important keywords. A specific pool of subpages is particularly important for the SEO process.

That's why we focus our optimization and linking efforts on them. We also carefully monitor their proper functioning. If we encounter any issues with their display, accessibility to web crawlers, redirects, etc., we inform our clients. Problems with the proper functioning of subpages or the entire website can have a significantly negative impact on SEO and the results achieved.

Nearly 2 million residents and tens of thousands of tourists visiting the Polish capital each month represent enormous potential for local businesses. Due to the vast area, if a company operates in a typically local and highly competitive industry (such as hairdressing, cosmetics, or restaurants), it's a good idea to optimize the website not only for Warsaw but also for specific districts. The phrases "hairdresser Żoliborz," "beautician Ochota," or "plumber Mokotów" can generate many valuable visits. Ultimately, the closer the company is located, the faster it will likely reach the customer—or the customer will reach it. Local SEO can be implemented for each of Warsaw's eighteen districts, which is likely to result in increased interest among specific target groups—residents of specific districts or people who happen to be in the area and need proximity to a service point or other specialist. For these reasons, local SEO in Warsaw can be an excellent way to improve a company's online presence.

The city of a quarter-million people attracts numerous tourists who appreciate the seaside climate, proximity to the beach, and extensive infrastructure – after all, the Tricity is a huge metropolitan area. Many companies that are major players in Polish and even global markets have their headquarters in Gdynia, including businesses in the banking, telecommunications, and IT sectors. Thanks to the presence of a seaport (the second largest in the country in terms of cargo unloading), trade flourishes there, and the renowned Gdynia shipyard, which builds and repairs ships, is a significant industrial center.

The capital of the voivodeship and the largest metropolis comprising the Tricity region, Gdańsk boasts significant SEO potential.

Gdańsk also attracts visitors with facilities ideal for large-scale events, while its beach and extensive seaport guarantee a pleasant time and a relaxing holiday.

Also noteworthy is the Innovation Center established in Wrocław by Google.

The capital of Greater Poland, along with its neighboring municipalities, has a population of nearly one million.

The port city in northwestern Poland is brimming with SEO opportunities. Szczecin's economic center is, of course, the seaport and its adjacent shipyards. Its proximity to the German border, good rail connections, and nearby airport attract many tourists from across the Oder River, which also offers a potential SEO opportunity. If your business has a German-language website, it's worth considering SEO activities that promote this version as well.

Opole is one of the oldest cities in the country, with a population of nearly 130, including the surrounding counties. The city boasts numerous business centers – one of Poland's largest IT companies is headquartered here, as well as numerous other enterprises.

Through website positioning, of course.

The capital of the Podkarpacie region is renowned for its strong industrial and commercial sectors.

A student city with a thriving industry and business scene, Olsztyn is home to a large tire factory and numerous recognizable companies, including those in the food, carpentry, and furniture industries. Olsztyn also thrives in sports – although the football club doesn't play in the top league, the volleyball club regularly competes for the Polish championship. Olsztyn lies on the Łyna River and boasts an impressive population of 170,000. Its proximity to the Russian border – just 87 kilometers – is also noteworthy.

The center of Podlasie is a large urban center – both in terms of area and population, several hundred thousand. Extensive commercial and industrial opportunities (especially in the textile and electrical engineering sectors) make the city, and with it the entire region, a favorable location for business.

Lublin places great emphasis on international cooperation with its partner cities (including Lviv, Lancaster, Brest, and Nancy), which primarily results in cultural exchange. Due to its large number of universities, Lublin is renowned for its large student population (including international students), which adds to the city's international character – of its over 300,000 residents, nearly 70,000 are students.
