Industry experts respond to a series of questions, helping identify the conversions and rankings elements that are delivering in Google\u2019s local search results right now. This report also covers the 2022 ranking factors that are anticipated to help businesses throughout 2023.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s worth noting that the survey results are not a definitive source for local SEO in 2023. This data is just the beginning of the conversation, allowing agencies, marketers and businesses to test their assumptions about local search. With Google treating industries, platforms and devices differently, flexibility is key \u2013\u00a0and every client requires a personalized approach.<\/p>\n<h2>What Local Ranking Factors Should You Focus on in 2023?<\/h2>\n<p>Local SEO experts were given 149 possible Google ranking factors and asked to estimate their importance. The results are broken down into local map\/finder results and local organic results.<\/p>\n<h3><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19284\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.advicelocal.com\/blog\/images\/Local-PackFinder-Ranking-Factors-2023-FB.jpg\" alt=\"Local search ranking factors (2023) for agencies and marketers\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Local Pack\/Finder Ranking Factors<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Google Business Profile Signals (Google Business Profile) \u2013 32%<\/li>\n<li>On-Page Signals \u2013 19%<\/li>\n<li>Review Signals \u2013 16%<\/li>\n<li>Link Signals \u2013 11%<\/li>\n<li>Behavioral Signals \u2013 8%<\/li>\n<li>Citation Signals \u2013 7%<\/li>\n<li>Personalization \u2013 6%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19285\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.advicelocal.com\/blog\/images\/Local-Organic-Ranking-Factors-2023-FB.jpg\" alt=\"Local search ranking factors (2023) for agencies and marketers\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Local Organic Ranking Factors<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>On-Page Signals \u2013 36%<\/li>\n<li>Link Signals \u2013 26%<\/li>\n<li>Behavioral Signals \u2013 9%<\/li>\n<li>Google Business Profile Signals \u2013 9%<\/li>\n<li>Personalization \u2013 7%<\/li>\n<li>Citation Signals \u2013 7%<\/li>\n<li>Review Signals \u2013 6%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking back to the <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.advicelocal.com\/blog\/blog\/2021-local-search-ranking-factors\/\">2021 Local Search Ranking Factors<\/a>, the results undoubtedly have many similarities. However, there are also some subtle changes that are worth considering.<\/p>\n<h3>Google Business Profile Management Is Critical<\/h3>\n<p>Just as in 2022, this year Google Business Profile management should be a priority for your local clients. Google Business Profile is particularly important for local pack\/finder listings, but signals also translate to organic search results. Some of the crucial factors noted in the survey results include selecting a primary Google Business Profile category, keywords in the Google Business Profile business title, proximity of address to the point of search and having a physical address in the city of search.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Advice Local, we\u2019ve been calling attention to the importance of a Google Business Profile listing for your business clients for years. Our agency partners are already well-positioned to maximize local pack results with our listing management, Google Business Profile Sync and other related tools.<\/p>\n<h3>Citations Still Matter<\/h3>\n<p>Survey results for citation signals have remained steady over the last few years. For most SEO experts, the need for citations is clear, but just how they should be prioritized is up for debate. Unfortunately, many agencies and businesses have suffered from a strategy that includes low-quality citations, irrelevant categories \u2013\u00a0and a focus on quantity over quality.<\/p>\n<p>But as we discussed in a recent article, <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.advicelocal.com\/blog\/blog\/all-directories-are-not-created-equal\/\">all directories are not created equal<\/a>. To see any significant results from citation building, agencies need to reach relevant, high-quality directories. And you must make submissions with a purpose \u2013 think leading data aggregators, GPS accelerators, vertical directories and premier directories. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.advicelocal.com\/blog\/partners\/our-network\/\">Data Amplifier Network<\/a> for the right approach to citation signals.<\/p>\n<h3>On-Page Factors Take on Greater Importance<\/h3>\n<p>On-page signals scored highly this year for both local pack and organic ranking factors. If you haven\u2019t been prioritizing your clients\u2019 websites, now is the time to adjust. Running an SEO audit is a great place to start, looking at keywords in title tags, weak content, a lack of internal linking and related factors. This year, prioritizing engaging, optimized content will be crucial for ranking.<\/p>\n<h3>Reviews Make a Difference<\/h3>\n<p>The report also identifies customer reviews as essential, particularly for local pack\/finder rankings. Reviews have long been vital in building a robust online presence, and contribute to establishing an authoritative Google Business Profile.<\/p>\n<p>As you may be aware, we have been discussing the need for a consistent flow of positive reviews for some time, and many of the contributing local SEO experts agree. Ultimately, reviews are just a part of a business\u2019 wider reputational health \u2013 a factor included in our Google Authority Score (GAS) metric.
