For your business to appear in these highly competitive local search results, your SEO approach needs to change. In addition to having content rich with relevant keyword terms, your website also needs to:
- Include local geographic modifiers

Each web page’s meta data needs to conform to search engine-preferred schema so that your link appears with a visually enhanced snippet.
