Local SEO focuses on search results that have a ‘Maps’ or ‘Local’ listing that appear below the paid ads, followed by organic results below.
These Map listings are served via Google My Business. If you have physical business locations, then ranking your listing in Google Maps will likely be critical to your overall SEO strategy as there are only three spots available.
Improve local search presence
“We’re at the top of the list!” You’ll be saying this when you realize your business is in the top three on Google Maps.

Testimonials
What our clients love about us
At Universal Music, we are frequently tasked with launching new albums and products with little to no notice which can prove challenging for traditional agencies.
The team at the Influence Agency have proven time and time again their ability to be both nimble and efficient at delivering influencer campaigns that are strategically targeted, creative and most importantly impactful with our artists audiences.
Fraser MacKenzie
Senior Director Digital
Having blogged for 10 years and having worked with a plethora of agencies, The Influence Agency team has been one of the top agencies I've connected with. Their ability to both balance creator relations and interests, while maintaining the priorities of their brands is incredibly impressive. As a creator, the team is always supportive and responsive and truly makes developing branded content seamless! I always look forward to working with them!

The Influence Agency put on one of my favorite events ever for the launch of youtheory in Canada! The vibe was unmatched, with staff and creators enjoying themselves equally on the rooftop. It was also very diverse - both men and women were in attendance, which is rare since these events are usually female-dominated. They also didn’t forget us mature creators! It was refreshing to be part of a launch that values my age group. Thank you so much for the invite, TIA! More brands should take a page out of your book.

Working with The Influence Agency has been an exciting and engaging experience. We appreciate their in-depth knowledge of the influence marketing space and their ability to align our mission with top influencers who help drive awareness of our fundraising initiatives"
Glenn van Gulik
Secretary for PR and Territorial Marketing
Working with The Influence Agency to help launch our TikTok and Pinterest ad campaign strategies over the last 9 months was one of the best decisions we've made this year. We searched across Canada for an agency to align with our vision and marketing needs and found that their offerings and ratings were second to none. It's been a dream to work with both the team who were not only terrific and quick communicators (even with the time difference!), but also very professional and knowledgeable - clear experts in their field. We've been happy with our results and would recommend TIA!

Manager, Social Media Content
Wow – what an event! We are still buzzing over here. It was truly a memorable evening. The attention to detail was particularly impressive. Every element, from the décor, the drink menu names, the photo booth, the signage, etc., was meticulously planned and executed. It’s clear there was a lot of thought and care into making the event special.
We appreciate all the hard work that went into making our new line's launch party successful.
Colleen Roberts
Manager, Media, Global Marketing
The Influence Agency is phenomenal. They’re incredible outside-the-box thinkers and we’re a great alternative to the traditional marketing efforts taken for the NFP I work for. We worked directly with Stephanie and Tom, both who had a high level understanding of the industry and a completely professional approach to social promotion. Looking forward to working with their team again!

What is local SEO?
Local SEO is using strategies to improve search engine visibility for local businesses, primarily those with brick-and-mortar locations. Local search engine marketing is all about boosting organic traffic by attracting customers in nearby areas and businesses
How does local SEO work?
When used properly, local SEO strategies work by building up the local credibility of a business and getting it to the top of the Google Maps ranking. These map listings are served by your Google business profile, so it all starts there!
How long does local SEO take to work?
As with all types of SEO, local SEO can take months to produce tangible results. Patience is a virtue—the results you experience in 9-12 months will change your business forever. Good things come to those who wait (and work with The Influence Agency).
How is local SEO different from regular SEO?
Many of the practices used in “regular” SEO also apply to local search engine optimization, too. The main thing that is different is the point of focus when it comes to local SEO: driving organic traffic to your business by means of those who are nearby.
What are the key benefits of Google My Business?
Influencer marketing can absolutely be used for B2B brands. Partnering with an influencer on your next campaign can add some personality to your brand, or add legitimacy if you are being endorsed by someone who embodies your values.
What are local SEO citations?
These are when your business name appears on other websites or directories. This boosts credibility while also local link building. The best local SEO companies know this and make it a point of focus—spoiler: we make it a point of focus.
