Overview
Overview
The thought of self-serve local SEO can be overwhelming, but it’s a valuable campaign model for companies that don’t want their account to be fully managed by a marketing agency but still want to improve local search rankings.
So, what’s our LocalFX software like and what kind of information can you gain from it? Read on!
Citation management
Citation management
Claiming your citations is one of the biggest and most important actions you can take when you’re trying to ramp up your local SEO efforts.
If you fail to claim your local listings, you can lose tons of valuable site traffic, and more importantly, sales. Chances are your competition has already claimed their local listings and failing to claim yours can be a huge thumbs down to users.
Local citations make it easy for shoppers to find information about your business like where your storefront is located and how they can contact you. Your citations make a user’s life easier by providing them with all the information they need to contact, visit, or purchase from your business.
LocalFX SEO
LocalFX SEO
SEO is extremely important to any marketing campaign — after all, it’s what helps you to rank highly in search engines for target keywords that mean the most to your audience.
Without SEO, it’s highly unlikely that your website will rank highly. That being said, we integrated SEO functionality into our LocalFX platform, so you can:
- Optimize citation categories for SEO
- Optimize citation descriptions for SEO
- Create Google Business Profile promotional posts for all locations
- Manage Google Business Profile Offer development for all locations
Ensuring that your citation categories, descriptions, and posts are optimized for SEO is a game changer. Our platform ensures that your target keywords appear in all the right places, as well as optimizing for spelling and grammar.
Review management and development functionality
Review management and development functionality
Reviews are crucial to your local business, whether they’re positive or negative. It’s extremely important to interact with your reviewers to make them feel comfortable, understood, and heard — even if they review is less than accurate.
With the LocalFX platform, you’ll have 24/7 access to the review tracking dashboard, which helps you track reviews that come in about your business. You’ll even get notifications for every review or social interaction that comes through on all of your tracked profiles.
Keep in mind that in order to track your reviews, you’ll have to authenticate your profiles.
The best part? You’ll be able to respond directly to reviews and mentions right from our LocalFX dashboard.
Reporting
Reporting
Keeping track of everything that occurs within your marketing campaign is crucial to its success. Without reporting and analytics, you’ll never be able to track what’s going wrong, or where you can make improvements.
With LocalFX, you’ll always have on-demand access to the reporting dashboard to stay on top of your local SEO campaign.
Keep in mind that in order to see your reports, you’ll have to authenticate your profiles.
You’ll be able to view reports for one location, or across all locations, and you’ll be able to see important information including:
- Profile views
- Website visits from local profiles
- Phone calls
- Direct requests
This information helps you gain insight into the success of your current campaign, and where you might want to make changes to increase the effectiveness.
For example, if you’re not getting as many phone calls as you’d like, you might take action and insert “Call now” buttons on important pages of your website.

Why should I reply to customer reviews?
When you reply to positive reviews, you show those users that you value their opinion and appreciate them taking the time to provide a positive review. It also shows potential customers that you are consistently in touch with your satisfied customers and love to keep an open dialogue.
Even though it might not be as easy as replying to positive reviews, replying to negative reviews is just as important — if not more important. When someone provides a bad review of your products or services, don’t panic. Even the best businesses get a few bad reviews!
The most important thing is to stay calm. You should calmly and professionally respond to the negative review with compassion and action. Let them know that you value their opinion, and if it’s something that happened on your end, offer to make it right. Whatever you, never blame the customer.
Customers love great customer service, and this is one way to provide it to your customers.
Why is SEO ranking traffic important?
The info provided by the SEO ranking tracker is equally important as your reports, since they provide insight into what you could change about your local SEO campaign to make it even more successful.
For example, if your Google local rankings are falling off the board, it might be time to turn off the heat on your local SEO. This could mean creating more content, targeting more keywords, or just sprucing up your current campaign.
