ReachLocal is driving more organic search traffic to SMB websites, thanks to its new ReachSEO offering.

ReachSEO leverages local SEO best practices to increase search traffic for SMBs with websites powered by the company's ReachEdge platform. Together, ReachSEO and ReachEdge provide SMBs with design, lead management and SEO tools. Through the platforms, brands can achieve increased organic visibility as well as insights into which marketing channels generate the most customers.


"Many SMB websites we see are out-of-date and not optimized on search engines, social media and business directories for discovery by consumers. Without that optimization, businesses are missing the reach needed to increase contacts and transactions," said chief product officer of ReachLocal, Kris Barton. "Together, ReachSEO and ReachEdge provide an integrated, symbiotic offering that drives SMB visibility, lead tracking and conversions, making ReachEdge more powerful than ever before."
