Difference Between Local SEO and Traditional SEO in California

SEO includes several strategies that help websites rank in search results. The right approach depends on your audience, location, industry, competition and goals. Local SEO and traditional SEO have different focuses, but they work well together.

Local SEO. Local SEO improves your visibility for searches tied to a specific location. It is useful for businesses that serve customers in particular cities, neighborhoods or service areas. Key activities include Google Business Profile optimization, local keyword targeting, citation management, local content, review management and location-based link building.

Traditional SEO. Traditional SEO improves your visibility for broader search queries. It can target customers across a state, a country or international markets. Common activities include keyword research, technical SEO, content optimization, internal linking and backlink development.

Local SEO Traditional SEO
Goal Reach customers in a specific area Reach a broader or national audience
Main surface Google Maps, the map pack and local results Standard organic results
Key signals Google Business Profile, citations, reviews and location pages Content, backlinks and site authority
Best for Businesses with a location or service area Businesses that sell statewide, nationally or online

When you combine the two, your business can win nearby customers and also grow its reach beyond its home market.
