Overview
Local businesses need search engines to read their details correctly. Yoast Local SEO Premium gathers your business name, address, opening hours and business type in one place and outputs them as Schema.org markup. This helps search engines like Google interpret your offerings and show them in local results and Google Maps. It works for a single storefront as well as several.
The plugin also takes care of technical pieces that are tedious to build by hand, such as geo sitemaps and KML files. If you run more than one office or shop, you can add each location and offer a store locator to visitors. It works together with Yoast SEO Premium, and a configuration guide walks through setup for people without technical experience.
Features
- Multiple business locations: Add several offices or storefronts and manage local SEO for each one from a single plugin, which suits businesses that grow beyond one address.
- Automatic Schema.org markup: Essential business details are output as Schema.org markup, so search engines can read your local business data clearly.
- Opening hours and business type: Opening hours and business type are included automatically with your other business information, so listings in search results describe your business accurately.
- Google Maps and route planner: Show a Google Map and a route planner on your website so potential customers can find your exact location and get directions.
- Geo sitemaps and KML files: The plugin generates geo sitemaps and KML files, which support location-based indexing and map integration without any manual file work.
- Responsive store locator: A simple store locator loads on any device, so mobile visitors can quickly find the nearest store location.
- Guided configuration: A user-friendly configuration guide leads you through setup, even if you have no SEO or technical background.
- Local SEO training course: Access to the Yoast SEO Academy includes a Local SEO training course, so you learn best practices alongside using the tool.
