How is it different than regular SEO?
Nothing changes from your customer perspective. They still hop online or whip out their phone and type in whatever into google and find what they are looking for.
The difference is the algorithm, the search engines secret sauce. So for organic search they have one algorithm and for google maps they have another. Local SEO is primarily focus is to help with improving rank within google maps. Regular SEO or just SEO is focused on getting ranked in organic search.
As a result, the activities to optimize your website changes.

Business Listing
Citations in the local SEO world means name, address, and number (NAP). Build citation is critical and consistency is important. This is a very time-consuming process. Yp.com is a good example where we would go in and submit all the correct information.
Filling out the listing completely goes a long way. Especially when your competition refuses to invest the money or time to get it done. It is the little things such as hours, pictures, and description that will separate you from the pack. We even go so far as to take 360 images and upload them.
