Local Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

If you're looking for an SEO boost, we're here to help! Our domains are highly ranked and trusted by search engines, which means that when you advertise with us, you get a significant Local SEO boost in several ways:

SEO / Backlinks Overview

We Provide a Key SEO Importance Indicator: Because we own "exact match" local domains (ex: frisco.com), our websites are ranked highly and considered important by Google. When we link to your website as an advertiser, it indicates to Google that your site must also be important, giving your website credibility and a significant SEO boost.
Holy Graile of Backlinks: Our backlinks are considered the "holy grail" of backlinks by Google, because not only are they 1.) geographically relevant, but they also come from 2.) a trusted source, and 3.) are "on topic" for your business/services. It's hard to find links on the web that match all these critical quality indicators simultaneously!

More Backlink / SEO Details

Links from a geographically-relevant site are still among the top two local ranking factors in 2025. They send Google the clearest signal that your business is trusted by other entities in the same market, which lifts both Map Pack and organic positions.
Google’s March 2024 core update tightened spam rules around low-quality links; editorial links from a real local publisher like us are exactly the kind of “site reputation” signals that the update rewards rather than devalues.
A single high-authority local backlink can move domain authority further than dozens of generic directory links, because authority is calculated on a logarithmic curve—quality easily outranks quantity.
Local backlinks from local organizations help diversify your link graph, reducing risk of over-optimized patterns that can trigger manual actions after the 2024 link-spam policy changes.
Signals from reputable local domains feed directly into Google’s E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) framework, strengthening brand credibility in competitive verticals.
Competitors who rely on national backlink packages can’t easily replicate hyper-local editorial coverage, giving your ranking advantage staying power rather than being erased in the next algorithm recalibration.
