Local SEO is how your business appears when people search for products or services “near me” or in a specific city. Strong local SEO puts your locations in front of nearby customers at the moment they are deciding where to go.

Why is local SEO important?

When someone searches, Google recognizes that they are looking for a nearby business or service, identifies their location, and shows the most relevant results for the keywords used. This benefits both the customer looking for something nearby and local businesses competing with large retailers.

Why can’t I see my page on Google Maps?

Many factors affect whether a listing appears, starting with proximity — Google shows the businesses closest to the searcher. Other factors include the listing’s age, history, and content; a location with 60 reviews, for example, will show less often than one with 600. To help a listing appear more often: encourage customers to leave reviews, add photos, complete your attributes, publish Google posts, add your menu and social links, answer questions on the listing, and share the listing link so more people open it and build its history.

Where do keywords belong?

Use the “Business keywords” field for general keywords shared across your locations, and personalize them per branch — for example by adding the city (“Notary in Chicoutimi”). Most important: include your strategic keywords in your category selection and in the first sentence of your business description, which strengthens their impact on visibility.

What you’ll find here

Hexia.local brings your entire local presence into one place. Here you’ll find: Dashboard (your key indicators), Reviews (read, tag, and reply), Points of Service (each location’s details, hours, categories, and Google services), Google Posts (news, events, and offers), and — with the Pro plan — CX-Ray (AI sentiment analysis).

Where should I start?

Begin with Points of Service to make sure each location’s information is accurate — it is the foundation of local visibility. Then set up Reviews to stay on top of customer feedback.
