Creating Valuable Content
Creating high-quality, relevant content for your website is a critical component of local SEO. Your content can take many forms, such as blog posts, videos, podcasts, animations, and more. It should be useful to your audience, so youll want to undertake some keyword research first and have a clear understanding of what your audience needs from you.

Great content will also help you to generate inbound links to your site, which is another local search ranking factor. 


Building Internal Links
Building internal links across your site is a simple yet powerful action, but one thats easily neglected. Internal links are those that go from one part of your site to another. They help Google to better understand your website, making it easier for your site to be accurately represented in the local search results pages.

When youre adding internal links, make sure that each link points to a relevant page of your site with sensible anchor text.

Mobile Responsiveness
A mobile responsive site is one that looks good and works perfectly across all screen sizes, including smaller cell phones. 

You can use Googles Mobile-Friendly Test to check how responsive your site is on mobile.

In 2021, Google rolled out the page experience update, which considers a number of factors relating to the user experience. Site owners should check their page experience score within Google Search Console. An important aspect of this update is Core Web Vitals, and this should be prioritized when considering mobile responsiveness. 

Optimizing Image and Content Metadata
Using attractive images makes your website visually appealing. As well as choosing high-quality, relevant images, you should always optimize your images for search.

Image optimization involves using keywords in the file name, as well as adding helpful alt text and a descriptionthis is great for search discoverability and helps with web accessibility. Youll also want to make sure your images are the optimum size and format to avoid slowing your website down.

Content metadata helps to explain your site content to the search engines. This involves the use of attributes such as title tags and meta descriptions.

Its a wise idea to spend some time going through your website to make sure youve optimized your images and your content.
