Guide: Local SEO for businesses in Timisoara: 9-step guide

Step 1: Determine what services you want to sell locally

Start with a simple list: what services bring in customers and in what areas do you work? Combine the service with the locality.

Step 2: Complete your Google Business Profile

Google Business Profile appears on the map and in local results. Complete all fields:

• the real name of the business, without artificially added keywords;
• primary category and secondary categories;
• opening hours, telephone, website and area served;
• list of services, clear description and real photographs.

Step 3: Create separate pages for services

A page for each important service is better than a single page with all services. Each page should have:

1. a clear title, with the service and city;
2. a description easy for the customer to understand;
3. "from" prices or explanations of how the cost is determined;
4. a clear contact or quote button;
5. frequently asked questions.

Step 4: Add pages for the areas served

If you also work in localities around the city, a dedicated page for each area can help with local searches. Make them useful, not copied one after the other.

Examples of area pages: Dumbravita, Giroc, Mosnita Noua.

Step 5: Keep data identical everywhere

The company name, address and telephone must be written the same on the website, in the Google profile, on social networks and in directories.

Step 6: Ask for reviews and reply to them

Real reviews increase trust and can influence local visibility. After each successful job, send the client the direct link to the review form.

Step 7: Publish helpful guides

Guides that answer customers' questions bring in visitors and demonstrate expertise. Link each guide to the appropriate service and quote page.

Step 8: Check speed and mobile display

Many local customers search from their phones. Test the site with PageSpeed Insights and check whether buttons, text and forms are easy to use.

Step 9: Monitor results in Google Search Console

Add your site to Google Search Console and track which searches bring in impressions and clicks. Periodically check pages with many impressions and few clicks: they may need a better title.
