Ranking for Local Businesses

In this 4-part training series from the experts at Wealthy Affiliate, you’ll learn how to rank local businesses. Whether you own a local business or if you’re considering starting a local marketing agency, having Search Engine Optimization (SEO) knowledge is important. This live training series will teach you everything you need to know to rank local businesses successfully.

This local business ranking course includes the following classes:

Class #1: Core Metrics of Ranking a Local Business Website. Running a local business can be challenging. In this live class, you’ll learn about some metrics you’ll need to understand.

Class #2: On-Page Local SEO Metrics. Building a website for a local business is more important now more than ever. Local businesses need support! Helping local business is a great way to earn money and help your community at the same time. In this live class, you’ll learn about on-page local SEO and how to implement it on a local business website.

Don’t be intimidated about offering to do SEO for local businesses. I have found that most business owners, actually most people in general, really have no idea about how the internet or social media work. If you’ve had bare-minimum SEO training, you likely know far more than they do! And once you complete this course, you’ll be able to consider yourself beyond qualified to do this work for them, and charge for it.

Class #3: Building Online Reviews for Local Businesses. People usually look for reviews when they’re interested in finding out more about a local business. One of the best things you can do is set up a funnel for the business to receive reviews, and possibily mitigate any negative reviews. You’ll learn how to create this in this class.

Class #4: Understanding Local Business Citations. Local businesses can’t just have their own website. They also need to have their website linked within local directories. These are called Local Citations, and it’s huge for ranking. In this class, you’ll learn everything you need to know about implementing local citations for a local business.

This is How I Started

Wealthy Affiliate taught me how to become a full-time affiliate marketer. I signed up Wealthy Affiliate’s Free Starter Membership back in 2015 to learn how to do affiliate marketing. As of the date of this post, it’s been seven years and I’m still doing it. I chose to do affiliate marketing as my full-time job, but you can certainly do it as a part-time business or side hustle to earn extra money. Regardless, the training at Wealthy Affiliate will show you how to be successful.
