Local SEO: How to Rank Your Florida Business in Google

By BuildWell Digital / Published in June 2025

Google Maps, search suggestions, and even voice searches are all powered by local SEO. If you want to be found in your city, this is where to start.

What Is Local SEO?

It’s the process of optimizing your online presence to attract more business from relevant local searches. These are searches that happen in:

  • Google Maps
  • “Near me” searches
  • Service + city searches (e.g., “web design Palm Harbor”)

Top Local SEO Tips for Florida Businesses:

  • Set up and fully verify your Google Business Profile.
  • Add your specific services and service areas to your profile.
  • Ask for reviews that mention your service and city (e.g., “great website design in Tampa”).
  • Create city-specific landing pages on your site if you serve multiple large areas.
  • Use proper schema markup (FAQ, LocalBusiness, etc.) to give Google more context.
