So. Many. Marketing. Channels. Getting your product or service in front of customers in today’s world can feel next-to-impossible with the ever-changing algorithms and marketing trends. If you’ve explored SEO, you know how frequently Google changes their algorithm and how difficult it can be to keep up. The solution?

So how do you organically reach potential customers when your potential customers are located all across the country? With national SEO.

What Is National SEO? Here’s What To Know

Scaling Your Organic Reach

National search engine optimization is about expanding your organic reach to appear at the top of Google’s search results no matter where in the country those searches are conducted.

Not All SEO Is National SEO

Many people think all SEO is created equal - and it’s not. For example - you’re in New York City and search for a nearby cafe. How would you feel if Google showed you a cafe in Seattle, and another in Tampa? 

The reality is, Google is not a human being, so it has to gather specific signals that help it differentiate local goods and services from national goods and services. This is where SEO for national businesses comes in. It involves teams of experts with years of experience, and the best national SEO teams know how to put your product or service at the top of Google’s search results no matter where users are searching from.

Data Driven National SEO Services To Supercharge ROI

So we know that not all SEO is created equal - and we know that sometimes, you need to bring in a team of national SEO experts to help put your business on top. But what does national SEO entail?
  • Site structure & keyword research Optimized site structures make your site easy for Google to crawl and read, and keyword research tells Google what your site and services are about.
  • Competitor and niche analysis The best National SEO teams compare your business to the right competition. By finding the correct national competitors, you’ll know what they're doing, and how you can do it better.
  • Content optimization “Content is king” is only partially true. “Optimized content is king” is the correct phrase. If Google can’t read and understand your content, your audience will never see it.
  • Technical optimization Maybe your content is great, and it's even optimized! But if your site takes too long to load, or your settings prohibit Google from seeing your site - your audience won’t see it.
  • Link building strategy Link building is still, even today, one of the most important ranking factors to Google. Good agencies know this, and national SEO packages should include guidance on how to find potential links, and then how to get them.
  • Business Listings Optimization Business listings optimization where you list your website, phone number, address and goods/services category across multiple platforms (Bing, Google, Yelp, etc).

Local SEO Vs National SEO: Key Differences

NATIONAL SEO KEY RANKING FACTORS

LOCAL SEO KEY RANKING FACTORS

Content Creation

Many national SEO packages focus on content creation, as content is usually not “area-specific”, meaning it solves users’ problems regardless of where they’re located.

NAP Consistency

NAP = Name, Address, Phone. Your business NAP is scattered across the web on Google My Business, Bing Places, Yelp, Foursquare, Facebook, your local Chamber of Commerce, etc. 

When people search locally, they’re much more likely to visit your physical location/call about services. Therefore, Google wants to send people to the right address. Having a consistent NAP across all of these platforms makes Google far more confident that your listed address/phone number is accurate, and they’re therefore more likely to show it to customers in search results.

Domain Authority

Domain Authority is essentially a “circle of trust”. Google looks at how many different websites “trust” you by linking to you. And if a trusted website “trusts” you, that’s a way to signal to Google that you are also trustworthy, and that you should appear higher up on search results.

Reputation Management

Reputation management is about managing and responding to reviews across all the platforms listed above. Local SEO is like living in a small town; your reputation follows you. If you consistently get bad reviews. Google will hesitate to show you in search results.

Moreover, if you don’t respond to questions/comments on these various platforms, Google will doubt your customer service quality and again hesitate to show you in search results.

FAQ

  • What is the difference between local and national SEO?

    Local SEO focuses more on NAP (name, address, phone) consistency and local reputation. National SEO is more focused on content creation, domain authority and backlinks.

  • Does my business need to have physical locations across the country?

    No, as long as your goods/services are available and relevant to everyone in the country, your business doesn’t need physical locations across the country for national SEO to be effective. 

  • When can I expect results on a national campaign?

    Unfortunately, there’s no surefire answer for this. This is highly dependent on how competitive your industry is. 

  • Should I use national SEO for my small business?

    Yes - if your small business sells goods/services nationwide, then national SEO can dramatically help you scale your business by finding new leads across the country, regardless of where you’re based.

  • How much does national SEO cost?

    Again - there is no one-size-fits-all answer for this, as it depends on how competitive your industry is. But to make things more affordable, DLD offers free national SEO services when clients order a full website design and development package!

  • Can a campaign target both a local and national audience?

    Yes, SEO campaigns can absolutely target both a local and national audience by optimizing and executing key ranking factors that pertain to both local SEO and national SEO.
