When working with a new or existing client, one of the fundamental things to determine is which keywords to optimize. For example, a dentist may want to optimize for ‘dentist’ in addition to other high-search volume keywords that apply, such as ‘hygienist’, ‘teeth whitening’, or ‘Invisalign’.
Local Rank Tracker and Local Search Grid are two powerful tools that allow you to track keyword performance for your clients. Add your keywords to your reports straight away to show clients how ongoing optimization efforts are helping to increase their local search visibility.
And, if you’d like help on finding which keywords you should be optimizing for, we have a great module on this in the BrightLocal Academy—it's free to enroll!

Reviews play a significant role in how a website performs in local search, yet many agencies aren’t yet focusing on generating more reviews for their clients.
