Have you ever searched for something like “coffee shop near me” or “plumber nearby”? Your customers are doing the same—every day.
In Houston, "near me" searches have exploded, and if your website isn’t optimized for these, you’re missing out on high-intent traffic.
Here’s how to capture that traffic and convert it into business:
📍 1. Use Location-Specific Keywords Naturally
Add phrases like “near me,” “Houston,” or your neighborhood (e.g. Midtown, Galleria) in headings, image alt texts, and meta descriptions. But keep it human—avoid keyword stuffing.
📲 2. Make Sure Your Site Is Mobile-Friendly
“Near me” searches are done almost exclusively on phones. Google favors mobile-optimized sites for local queries. Your site should load in under 3 seconds.
📷 3. Embed a Google Map on Your Contact Page
This signals your exact location to Google, helping your business show up in local results and on Google Maps.
📝 4. Create Local Content
Write blog posts about your services in specific Houston neighborhoods or events. Google loves hyper-local content because it shows relevance to the area.
🌟 5. Add Schema Markup for Local SEO
Schema helps Google understand your business details. Use local business schema to define your name, location, phone, hours, and services.
The goal is to make it crystal clear to Google where your business is and what you offer—so when someone searches “near me,” you’re the one they find.
