Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a local appliance repair website in Philadelphia and recently noticed that Google is giving more importance to trust signals and local relevance instead of just backlinks.
A few things that helped us recently:
- Optimizing service pages separately
- Improving mobile speed
- Adding real service area content
- Getting branded mentions instead of spammy anchors
- Keeping business information consistent
Still trying to improve rankings in local search results for appliance-related keywords.
Would like to know what strategies are currently working best for local service businesses in 2026?
