Local SEO Strategies for African Businesses
Local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the key to attracting nearby customers searching online for services and products. If someone types "best mechanic in Kisumu" or "Mombasa hotel deals" on Google, will your business appear?
Most African consumers use Google to find local businesses. By optimising your website with location-based keywords, setting up a Google Business Profile, and gathering customer reviews, you can dramatically increase your visibility.
Local SEO is especially important for small and medium businesses that depend on foot traffic or service areas. Simple actions—like updating your address on local directories or encouraging Google reviews—can significantly boost your search ranking.
In competitive markets, visibility is everything. With the right local SEO strategies, even a small business can compete with larger players without spending on ads.
