What’s the difference between local link building and link building?

Link building is the process of getting contextually relevant websites to link to a page on your website. And local link building is the same thing, but getting links from pages that are both contextually and locally relevant to your website.

While the difference doesn’t sound that big, your approach to finding, qualifying and pitching link prospects will be different from most link building tactics that are usually talked about in a global context.

But the good thing about local SEO is that there won’t be as much competition as you’re competing with local players. The downside, though, is that you may need to get more creative in finding link prospects because there will likely be fewer targets compared to a site doing global SEO.

So, here are some easy local link building tactics.

► Join your local chamber of commerce
► Join niche relevant business associations
► Local resource page link building
► Guest post on local websites
► Get featured on local list posts
► Analyze your competitors’ backlinks

And you’ll learn how to find opportunities and execute these tactics in the video.

Awesome again...but guest posting? Even after all the word from Google that guest posting links don't hold value anymore...?

An important thing to check is that links are set on the page as do-follow as these days many are no-follow

I'm pretty sure Benjamin won't link back to me just for trying my food out. He'll try to secure the bag instead 🤣🤣🤣

These are practical tips by the way and completely actionable.

A question I have on this topic is regarding newsletters & backlink policy.
I assume that any links to my own content from the likes of Substack & Revue will be attributed as nofollow ?

Hey, Sam can we use Ahrefs to find malicious links?

[Congdigi]

Hi Sam Oh, recently, Google doesn't index my post anymore and I am so worry about it. I've asked on Google Help Forum and receive an answer that my content is not good enough to be indexed. Then, I change the topic and content on my website. But the problem is Google is still not index my site. What happen with my site? Should I shut my website off or continue produce content for it. Pls give m some advances :(
