Local SEO success: How to track rankings, conversions, calls
Measuring and reporting on the success of local SEO efforts is crucial for improving your strategy. While the main goal is typically increased leads and revenue, tracking incremental progress through rankings, traffic, and conversions also matters.
This article provides tips on how to set up and use data from rank tracking tools, website analytics and call tracking to uncover opportunities and accurately quantify local SEO wins.

Local Falcon and Places Scout are my daily favorites for this task. These tools accurately measure local business rankings across any service area. Local Falcon focuses on Google Maps, while Places Scout covers both Google Maps and organic search.
