9. Optimize Your Blog for Local Search

People are increasingly utilizing their mobile phones to search for relevant businesses. And to maximize your chances of seeing your business appear in relevant local searches, try asserting your Google My Business listing, have your business indexed in local directories, deliver topically-relevant content in Google posts, and build your brand reputation in the online world with significant online reviews.

10. Aim for Getting Found in Google Snippet

When a visitor types a search query using Google search, Google immediately delivers content from a blog or site based on the relevancy factor and have it presented in an answer box that is significantly above the first position on page #1 (in a featured snippet).

When your content begins to get found in a featured snippet, know that you’re going to increase blog traffic since a URL to the page where the content is driven from is included in the featured snippet. When this starts to happen, you’ll increase your brand visibility, credibility and recognition.

Thus, to maximize your chances of getting your blog content found in the Google snippet, leverage relevant searches and sprinkle your website with authoritative, intelligible answers.

Hi Israel,
Thanks for the tips, I already implement most of them, but can you tell me more about how to use rich snippets. Is it a plugin?

Hey Stefanie, thanks for dropping by! What you basically need to know about Snippet is that it's a kind of Ads that appears above the first position on page #1, and once any of your pages gets featured there, you are in traffic. You are in money. Build out quality content, making your posts keyword-rich and in-depth. These are instrumental. Thanks for reading this training piece!

Hi Israel, thanks for getting back to me. Do you mean that Google will automatically generate you a rich snippet or not without you having to do anything from your heading tags in a post?
I saw some Neil Patel training where he was using some kind of plugin to add the short questions and answers by himself to be used for rich snippets, and was led to believe that this is the only way it can come up. I wish I could find that training but I can't.
Do you know of this plugin, or even what he may have been doing?

Sorry to bother you again, I just can't seem to get an answer to this right now. Somebody else from WA said it was a plugin he was using but they weren't sure which one.

Thanks :-)
