How to get in the Google 3 Pack for a rise in traffic and sales

Our friends at Fiz have put together this handy guide on how to get into the Google 3 Pack. Happy reading!

Have you made it into Google’s 3 Pack yet?

Ever since Google rolled out its Pigeon update and its ‘3 Pack’ of podium positioned organic search results beneath a map, local travel and hospitality companies have been battling furiously to prove their local SEO credentials.

Why? Because the visibility this brings you is sure to win you more traffic and sales than your competitors (who are slow to understand the power of local).

Remember, 56 percent of all mobile searches have local intent. And now that the MAJORITY of searches are being done on a mobile device, getting in the top three slots is going to create a seismic explosion in your website’s traffic.

An edge national competitors can’t copy

What Google’s 3 pack has done is to finally give local businesses a fighting chance against much larger, national competitors. The three pack ONLY features local businesses. It will ONLY display websites that are SEO optimized pillars of their local communities. This is hardwired into the algorithm no matter how many links and pages national competitors feed to Google’s Pigeon.

So if you run a hospitality or travel company targeting people locally, getting in the 3 Pack could be the most profitable marketing tactic you ever deploy.

How do you get in the 3 Pack?

If you look below the 3 Pack you’ll notice that the same local businesses appear in the organic results. So there’s no mystery. Simply observe solid local SEO techniques and you can climb your way into the top three.

Of course, you will need to roll up your sleeves and commit some serious effort to improving your local SEO signals. This includes getting reviews, social shares and, most importantly, quality added value content loaded with locally significant keywords and links from relevant, quality websites.

Thankfully, I have a recommendation that can create this for you on autopilot and could completely change your local SEO strategy forever.
