Running a multi-location business is like juggling a bunch of flaming torches—if you drop one, things get messy fast. Keeping your visibility high across all locations while managing your SEO, reviews, and listings can feel like a Herculean task. But that’s where BrightLocal comes in, offering a toolkit designed to simplify the chaos and help you dominate local search across the board.
Let’s dive into how multi-location businesses can harness the power of BrightLocal to boost rankings, track performance, and prove ROI to stakeholders.
Understanding Location Performance
The first step in nailing local search for multiple locations is getting a clear view of how each one is performing. BrightLocal’s Horizon tool is your new best friend here. It’s like a command center that pulls together all your ranking data into one easy-to-read dashboard, letting you see which locations are killing it and which need a little extra love.
Identify Weak Spots
With Horizon, you can spot underperforming locations in a flash. The dashboard highlights areas that need attention—think of it as a heat map for your SEO efforts. For example, if your business is crushing it in Idaho but floundering in Massachusetts, Horizon will make that crystal clear. You can then drill down to see which specific locations are dragging you down and take action.
Identify Top Competitors
Knowing who you’re up against is half the battle. Horizon helps you identify your top competitors for each location, giving you a sneak peek into what they’re doing right. This insight allows you to strategize and outmaneuver them, ensuring your business stays on top.
Delivering on Rankings and KPIs
If you’re serious about dominating local search, you need to hit those key performance indicators (KPIs) consistently across all locations. BrightLocal offers a suite of tools to help you do just that.
Review Generation and Responses
BrightLocal’s Review Inbox is a game-changer for managing reviews across multiple locations. It consolidates all your customer reviews into a single feed, making it easy to monitor, respond, and manage your online reputation. And with integration to Google Business Profile (GBP) and Facebook Pages, you can handle everything from one place.
Listing Management
Keeping your business listings accurate and up-to-date across multiple platforms is no small feat. Enter Active Sync, a tool that centralizes your listings on Google, Facebook, Apple Maps, and Bing. This means you can update your business info once and push it out to all major platforms, saving you time and ensuring consistency.
Showcasing Value to Stakeholders
Proving the value of your SEO efforts is crucial, especially when you’ve got multiple locations to manage. BrightLocal’s reporting tools make it easy to showcase your progress and results to stakeholders.
Rank Tracker Rollup Reports
These reports consolidate your ranking data into a format that’s easy to digest, perfect for keeping your stakeholders in the loop. Whether it’s showing improvements across the board or highlighting specific wins, these reports are essential for demonstrating ROI.
Google Business Profile Audit Insights
If a specific location is underperforming, the GBP Audit tool can help you diagnose the issue. After making necessary changes, use the Insights tab to show how those tweaks have increased website clicks, mobile views, and overall engagement. It’s all about connecting the dots between your efforts and the results.
The Final Word
BrightLocal is more than just a tool—it’s your strategy partner for navigating the complex world of multi-location SEO. By understanding location performance, delivering on KPIs, and effectively communicating your wins to stakeholders, you can take your business to the next level.
