What local SEO is
Local SEO is the work that makes your business appear when someone searches for what you offer in a specific area: 'hairdresser in Badalona', 'dentist near me' or 'restaurant Dalt la Vila'. It happens in two places: the Google map pack and the regular results.
1. Complete your Google Business Profile
It's the single most important factor for appearing on the map.
- The right primary category plus secondary categories.
- Opening hours, phone, website and service area (Badalona and nearby towns).
- Real, up-to-date photos of the premises, team and work.
- Posts and offers every week or two.
2. Get reviews consistently
Consistency and replying to every review matter more than the total. Ask right after a good service with a direct link or a QR code at the counter.
3. Same details everywhere (NAP)
Name, address and phone must match exactly on your website, Google, social profiles and directories like Páginas Amarillas, Sortlist or ProntoPro.
4. A website with local signals
- City and neighbourhood in the title, heading and text, naturally.
- Address and map on the contact page.
- LocalBusiness structured data with your address and service area.
- Fast mobile loading.
5. Useful local content (no empty pages)
Write about the neighbourhoods you serve (Centre, Dalt la Vila, Llefià, Montigalà…), real cases and your customers' questions. Avoid dozens of near-identical city pages: Google treats them as doorway pages.
How long it takes
With a well-managed profile and steady reviews, many Badalona businesses notice more calls and visits within 2–3 months. Our SEO Basic plan (€230/month) covers exactly these steps.
