When it comes to winning over search engines<\/a>, sometimes local businesses need to enlist help. Sometimes, this help comes in the form of earning placement-increasing backlinks on other websites.<\/p>\n

As a marketer, you most likely know backlinks are a vital SEO component because of their ability to increase placement, build a positive reputation and generate traffic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/div>\n

Strategies to Kick Link Building Into High Gear!<\/h2>\n

According to BrightLocal, 89 percent of experts prioritize link building for their local business clients. We couldn\u2019t agree more with this. That’s why we help local businesses with the high quality links they need to be deemed \u201cvaluable\u201d to search engines.<\/p>\n

Wondering how to best go about building quality links? Let\u2019s get going…<\/p>\n

Create Local Business Listings<\/h3>\n

Online citations that include a business\u2019 URL are one of the best link building strategies. Citations in local business directories can bring much-appreciated traffic and backlinks to a local business. To achieve this, local businesses would need to make sure their information is included in the top business directories and vertical directories for their industry, otherwise a backlink from an untrusted source can penalize the business\u2019 position on SERPs.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve put together a list of the best directories for 2019<\/a> so you can see if the directories you\u2019re looking at made the cut. Another great resource is our Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Directories<\/a>. If all that information is making you feel overwhelmed, let us help! Listing management<\/a> is our bread and butter, and we help our partners like you help their local business clients every day. Request a demo<\/a> today to see how we do it.<\/p>\n

Write Blog Posts and Other Forms of Content<\/h3>\n

Blog posts and other forms of content on a local business\u2019 site are gold for link building. With a little strategy, like the right titles and keywords, a high-ranking piece of content is a surefire way to earn links within other sites later on. We\u2019ve talked about this<\/a> time and time again! Aim to be informative yet conversational in tone. Content that is too complicated or wordy will be passed over; readers prefer to get to the point.<\/p>\n

Remember the super-empowered consumer<\/a>? Authors should be concise while still maintaining authority over the subject matter. The topics should be locally focused, interesting and, above all, searchable. All of these elements create the ideal blog post for commenting and sharing among various channels.<\/p>\n

Partner With Other Local Businesses<\/h3>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love working with friends? When local businesses team up with others in their area, it creates the prime link building opportunity \u2013\u00a0and draws customers in! According to HostGator<\/a>, this could be as simple as promoting a referral discount or hosting an event together. When that relationship is continually built upon, the partnership will turn into sharing, linking and bolstering success on each other\u2019s websites. Personal and professional relationships are formed, and everybody wins.<\/p>\n

Sponsorships<\/h3>\n

By taking initiative in the local community, a local business has the opportunity to see and be seen by their consumer base. Whether it\u2019s sponsoring an event, a nonprofit or a local sports team, a local business\u2019 efforts will be rewarded. With summer quickly approaching, research events that are relevant to the local business in question. Or, find a nonprofit whose goals align with the business\u2019 vision. These are all great jumping off points that could be rewarding beyond backlinks and SEO measures.<\/p>\n

Enter Local Awards<\/h3>\n

Entering local businesses for awards as a means to earn backlinks is a win-win situation. If there are local awards to be won related to your clients\u2019 industries, why not give it a shot? Plus, depending on the popularity of the organization hosting the awards, there may be an opportunity for promotion and backlinks just by entering. But who\u2019s to say there won\u2019t be a winner amongst us! There are many other perks of entering awards programs<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, encourage your clients to create and give out awards within their local business itself. These are obviously small, fun awards, but don\u2019t underestimate their impact (or backlink potential)! Whether it\u2019s an individual that deserves recognition or another local business that should get credit for what they do, people are often compelled to share their recognitions. This creates a higher degree of trust between customers and business owners, forging those mutually beneficial partnerships we talked about.<\/p>\n

Guest Posting and Niche Posting<\/h3>\n

A tried but true strategy is guest and niche posting. Guest posts are a common way to earn backlinks, but they require work on the author\u2019s part to make them worth a site\u2019s while. If there are high-quality local business sites that allow for guest posting, research keywords and find out pertinent industry trends that make for useful content topics. Then, link back to your client\u2019s site tactfully for immediate backlinks.<\/p>\n

\u201cNiche posting\u201d is another instance where local businesses can look out for each other. For example, a local business can write a post detailing their recommendations in a niche industry, but independent from their own. No promoting competitors here! This is usually an easier task if the author is a longtime resident of the community. Besides earning the links, it\u2019s a great way to be neighborly, too! Don\u2019t forget to reach out to every fellow local business mentioned. They may automatically reciprocate, but it wouldn\u2019t be rude to ask them outright for a backlink or social post!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Discount Social Media<\/h3>\n

Social media is typically not thought of as a link building tool, but it can be a great tool for building backlinks and for sending the right social signals to Google and other search engines. Having a strong social media presence will make it easier for influential people in the business\u2019 industry to share a business\u2019 content.<\/p>\n
