• Local SEO utilizes a geographical component and targets local search. That means that your audience is within a few miles from your business and that your online presence is meant to drive foot traffic to an actual establishment.  This is done through several methods including using geo-centric keywords, producing locally relevant content, building citations on local niches and directories, and tying up with websites in the same area.
• Organic SEO is location neutral and ideal for websites that generate revenue exclusively online or are just looking to generate awareness through a wide audience. If you're running a national campaign or an e-commerce campaign, this is the perfect methodology for you.

On-Page semantic mark-ups and Google Map API integration also help the search engines understand that a website is the virtual representation of a physical business in the location indicated in the map API and marked up in the schema address.

Google considers the number of citations and where they are in their ranking factor. Nonetheless, the critical part of citations is not their number but the consistency of citations. Each citation must be similar; else Google may display different data for your local business.

Each Local SEO Package targets one location. If your business has multiple locations, you would need to buy a package for each one, unless your geo-targets all fall within a 5-mile radius.

Aside from the Organic and specific Local SEO factors, businesses are displayed in the Google Map pack based on the location of the business and the searcher, data in Google Maps and Google My Business and number of citations pointing to the business and its location among other things.
