Small business local SEO strategies

Overview

The focus is on Barnacle SEO, a digital marketing strategy where small businesses increase local search visibility by leveraging the authority of established, high-ranking platforms such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Tripadvisor. Coined by Will Scott in 2008, this approach emphasizes selectivity by targeting influential platforms that drive qualified traffic and bookings rather than focusing on the quantity of directory submissions.
