If you’re in the local SEO game and haven’t heard about the Local Search Grid module just added to BrightLocal Academy, buckle up because things are about to get interesting. This tool is about to change how you view your local rankings—forever.
BrightLocal is already a powerhouse in local SEO tools, and now they’re leveling up with their Local Search Grid module. Let’s break it down so you can see how this can totally revolutionize your local search strategy.
What Is Local Search Grid?
First, think of the Local Search Grid as your SEO radar. It doesn’t just tell you where your business ranks in search—it tells you exactly where you rank across multiple locations. You’re not just looking at where you stand in your city; you’re seeing how you perform in every corner of your service area. If you’ve ever wondered, “How am I ranking across town?”—this is the answer.
Why Should You Care?
Good question. Here’s the deal: Local SEO is hyper-competitive. You’re not just fighting to rank at the top in general—you’re fighting to rank in each neighborhood, on every block. The Local Search Grid shows you where you’re winning and where you’re losing. This allows you to zoom in on underperforming areas and take targeted action.
As SEO expert Joy Hawkins once said, “If you’re not looking at your rankings from a local perspective, you’re missing the bigger picture.” The days of relying on a single ranking report are over. With the Local Search Grid, you’re diving into a geo-specific strategy that most businesses aren’t even thinking about.
How Does This Help Your Business?
Pinpoint Opportunities: Let’s say your rankings are crushing it downtown but falling flat in the suburbs. That’s a missed opportunity. The Local Search Grid highlights these gaps so you can adjust your strategy accordingly.
Stay Ahead of Competitors: With a localized view of your rankings, you’ll know exactly where competitors are creeping in and where you’re dominating. It’s like playing chess—only now you can see the whole board.
Optimize with Precision: Instead of throwing random tactics at the wall to see what sticks, Local Search Grid allows you to laser-focus your efforts. Adjust your Google Business Profile, local citations, and on-page SEO to boost visibility in the exact areas where you need it.
How Do You Use It?
The best part? BrightLocal makes it super simple to use. The Local Search Grid module is now part of their Level Up Your Local SEO with BrightLocal course on BrightLocal Academy. It’s like having a treasure map for your rankings, showing you exactly where the gold is buried (or where you need to start digging).
What's Inside the Course?
In this new module, you’ll learn:
How to uncover deep ranking insights.
How to set up a report and get the exact data you need.
How to spot growth opportunities and outpace the competition.
Plus, there are quizzes to make sure you’re soaking in all that knowledge like a sponge. Because let’s be real, there’s nothing worse than feeling like you know something...only to find out you missed a critical piece.
Why This Matters Now
With Google constantly tweaking its algorithm and making local search more competitive than ever, this is the tool that’s going to give you an edge. It’s not just about being seen online anymore—it’s about being seen everywhere you want to be. The Local Search Grid is your ticket to local SEO domination.
