Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The first thing you have to do is to place information on the location on the website, and have the name of the city/region in the titles.

Then you will have to promote yourself in local groups. Facebook groups in the area, local sites and local registries.

I think what we did with https://practicebloom.com/ was a great idea. We were in the dumps completely and then we started running some very aggressive posting, like 10 times a day in Facebook, tik tok and other socials with a link back to our site, it pushed our traffic up from 50 to 500 hits a month and brought up all our keywords. I know it sounds off base, but it's a popularity contest with Google. Aggregate traffic is Key!

I'm not sure what but I feel like you might have a technical issue.
You got about 23k backlinks but they are all from 500 different IPs and 543 unique domains. So your backlinks are extremely suspicious.
You may want to check with the search console. You do not normally get penalized because of the backlinks but they may have removed the effects of those backlinks. So if you only rely on the backlinks as your ranking factor, you might not rank anymore and there is no easy way to tell if you didn't get penalized.
Here is a short article for you to read to learn how to rank without owning thousands of backlinks.
Good luck

Good afternoon Keneth, something is happening to me with my AvendanoDesign. I have always come out in the first places in google for more than 20 years and a few months ago the index simply disappeared from the search and now only the external pages are positioned. do you have any idea how to fix it?

your comments would be very helpful for me

9 Quick Tips from a St Louis Digital Marketing Agency

Everyone is interested in online presence management these days, and there are tons of resources to learn about it. But at some point, you need to transform that enthusiasm into results. If you’re looking to grow your business online and not ready to hire professional digital marketing agencies yet, here are 9 tips to get you started on your own:

Research your top competitors, solve their marketing strategy, and make something better:

Embrace the competition! It is well known that the best way to learn is by doing, but how do you figure out the best way to do things? We will tell you that you do not need to re-invent the wheel. The best way to answer this question is to do the research and find out what your competitors are doing so you can find out where you fall short. Many people do not view competition as a friend, but rather as a threat to their business. While this may create a negative relationship with your competitors, it is still vital to understand their perspective and how this information can be used to build a better business.

SEO tools, that SEO agencies are using, to run your competitor research may cost from a few hundred dollars a month to a few thousand dollars but Google is a really good free alternative to use if you know how to use it.

Let’s say we are a plumbing company in St Louis, We have our website but trying to see what other people doing in our industry. A simple Google search can provide the answer.

Well for local SEO, first optimize your site and as well as your competitor's site then you will get a brief idea of what to add as per your local cities. The next thing is GMB (Google My Business) for absolute local SEO, create your profile as per locations, add events about your business, add products, add services that you are providing.

Insert your main keyword with the city name in the GMB while publishing your services or products it may help you in ranking.

Thanks and Cheers

@joelx great answer! Thanks for contributing!

To stand out in the Local Map Pack, you are going to need to have a very well optimized profile. There are many articles, like this one https://coalitiontechnologies.com/blog/how-to-optimize-your-google-my-business-location, with tips on how to do that.

However, the Google My Business Profile mostly only helps you rank in the local area. If you have your physical store in New York, you can rank in the map pack for New York related queries, but not likely for other cities like Los Angeles.

Since you can deliver the products to other locations though, you could try utilizing the Service Areas feature to add in a list of cities the business serves. This may help to achieve what you are describing for some low competition search queries, however it doesn't guarantee that you will rank in the Local Map Pack for other cities since you don’t have a dedicated location there and more relevant and authoritative businesses in those cities will easily outrank you.

If it's not important necessarily what is ranking (organic search result or a map pack result), there is always the option to create several landing pages on the store’s website that are optimized for your desired local search terms (online clothing store in: los angeles, miami, atlanta, chicago, etc.)
Again, you’ll be competing with everyone else to get those top ranking positions, but that would be one way to try to get there. Good luck!

Hello there! You've come to the right place. Local SEO hinges on the physical location of your business and its customers. If you have a physical store in NYC, you can work towards competing for visibility in Google's local packs for users and queries surrounding that city. If you have a physical location in LA, same story.
What you can't do is hope your NYC store will show up for users in LA. Local search doesn't work that way. Rather, you'd need to pursue organic rankings and paid advertising in markets where your business lacks a physical location.
