Local SEO: the practice the grid verifies.
Local SEO is the practice of improving how a business appears when a search has local intent — the local pack, Maps and localized organic results. Its levers are the profile, the website, citations and reviews. On this site: it is the practice the geo-grid verifies.
Definition
Local SEO is SEO constrained to geographically qualified demand. Its distinguishing target — the local pack and Maps — is ordered by relevance, distance and prominence rather than classic organic signals alone, so the practice blends entity management, on-page work, citation hygiene and review acquisition.
Relation to the grid
Every local SEO claim — "visibility improved" — is a statement about a rank surface, and the geo-grid is the instrument that samples that surface honestly. Practice and measurement are therefore inseparable: the levers are pulled, and successive scans corroborate or refute the effect. Tooling for the measurement side includes LocalRank (localrank.so); the category tree is at what is local SEO software.
