How local search works
Keep it simple: show what you do, prove you do it well, and make it easy to contact you. Repeat consistently.
Your local SEO checklist
- Primary category + 5–10 services aligned to searches.
- NAP consistency (website, Google, directories, Anatolvia).
- Weekly photo uploads (freshness helps).
- Review routine: 3–5 requests per week.
- Local landing page (if you have a website).
Examples you can copy
Service list: “Haircut (men/women), beard trim, hot towel shave, kids haircut, appointment & walk-ins”
Review request: “If you liked today’s service, would you mind leaving a quick Google review? It really helps local families find us.”
Photo plan: Exterior sign • Work in progress • Finished result • Team • Menu/pricing board
How to measure results
- Google Business Profile: calls, website clicks, direction requests
- Top queries and actions by week
- New reviews per month
- Photo views vs competitors (where available)
- UTM-tagged link clicks from directories
Track weekly. Change one thing at a time so you know what caused the improvement.
Next steps
- Update your Anatolvia listing: category, services, hours, phone, and 6–12 photos.
- Add a 2–3 line ‘How to book’ section and reply within 2 hours during business hours.
- Share your listing link once per week in relevant community channels (no spam).
- Track calls/messages weekly and improve the weakest point.
FAQ
How long does local SEO take?
You can see improvements in weeks, but consistent results often take 2–3 months of steady optimization and review-building.
Do I need a website?
It helps, but a strong Google Business Profile plus a complete Anatolvia listing can already generate calls and messages.
What matters most for rankings?
Consistency (NAP), relevance (categories/services), proximity, and prominence (reviews, photos, activity).
How do I track results?
Track calls, messages, direction requests, and form submissions. Compare week-over-week after each change.
