I support care services as an SEO freelancer<\/a> in search engine optimization with a catalog of services from A to Z<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the web search with the “ten blue links”, the local search<\/strong> via Maps is particularly important. Such clicks can be tracked separately on Google and can practically double the yield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a highly experienced SEO consultant<\/a> and veteran in online marketing, I provide my services with a steady hand. Hardened by the crises of our time, I always and above all have the entrepreneurial well-being of<\/strong> my clients in mind. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Local SEO for care services<\/h2>\n\n

Google Maps & business directories<\/h3>\n\n

Google Maps is a central Google service for search queries with a local component<\/strong>. As you have probably often noticed yourself, Google sometimes even displays a map directly on the search results page (SERP). <\/p>\n\n

The reason for this is that people usually look for a care service in a specific region. When searching, however, even slight changes to the query can lead to different results, as shown here in the screenshots:<\/p>\n\n

Comprehensive local SEO<\/a> for care services also includes entries in business directories. This generates visibility and often traffic as well.<\/p>\n\n

Referencing creates so-called backlinks<\/strong>. These signal the relevance of a particular care service to Google and thus boost its visibility in search results. <\/p>\n\n

Tracking local rankings<\/a> in turn allows these rankings to be evaluated. With the right methods, even a small or new company can therefore enter competitive markets very successfully. <\/p>\n\n

Google My Business optimization<\/h3>\n\n

Google My Business is a service for actively designing the profiles of companies in Google Maps. Basic information such as contact details and opening hours<\/strong> can be entered. You can also upload images and short videos. <\/p>\n\n

But above all, depending on the type of business, you can also present services and products<\/strong>. Many providers make the big mistake of using designations from their own internal perspective. <\/p>\n\n

However, potential customers often use other keywords<\/strong>. Accordingly, customized names for services and products are crucial for the success of SEO for care services.<\/p>\n\n

Keyword research for care services<\/h3>\n\n

In keyword research for care services, search queries<\/strong> for people and with a local reference are particularly interesting. You should also go into great detail about services. <\/p>\n\n

Optimize for werkenntdenbesten.de or similar<\/h3>\n\n

Another aspect of SEO is the systematic optimization of portals<\/strong> such as werkenntdenbesten.de. It is estimated that around 3.37 million users currently visit this website every month, for example to find recommended care services. <\/p>\n\n

The optimization of profiles on such portals is part of a holistic SEO strategy for care services. Especially if you already have the necessary image and text material<\/strong> for Google My Business or your own website, for example, then this field can also be worked on very efficiently. <\/p>\n\n

Regional link building for local service providers<\/h3>\n\n

Google and other search engines incorporate numerous signals into their rankings <\/strong>. In addition to the relevance of the content and the technical status, these include backlinks in particular. <\/p>\n\n

When it comes to SEO for care services, the regional aspect<\/strong> is also very important. For example, it is of little use to a provider from Berlin if you are listed in a business directory for Bavaria. <\/p>\n\n

Website creation & optimization for care services<\/h2>\n\n

CMS, text, image and video<\/h3>\n\n

The best way to create a website for care services is with a widely used CMS such as WordPress<\/strong>. Mainstream products have the advantage that practically all possible problems have already been answered in forums. If difficulties arise, you can quickly research the solutions. <\/p>\n\n

An optimized page structure<\/strong> to specifically address common search queries is then crucial. This involves using keyword research to pick up on the common wording used by potential customers and, ideally, systematically utilizing it as part of a keyword map<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

You need content<\/strong> to design the homepage and landing pages. Text and images are particularly important. Good videos can be a huge asset. <\/p>\n\n

Both written and visual content require targeting<\/strong> for suitable keywords. Otherwise, it can easily happen that even high-quality content never actually becomes visible to potential customers. <\/p>\n\n

Contact details & forms and opening hours<\/h3>\n\n

A point that is often forgotten: as a care service, you want to win more orders through SEO<\/strong>. That is why contact details should always be visible in the header, footer or sidebar of your website.<\/p>\n\n

Contact forms with an auto-fill function help to improve the conversion rate<\/strong> of users to specific inquiries as potential customers.<\/p>\n\n

Structured data for local business<\/h3>\n\n

With “structured data”<\/strong>, the major search engines cooperate to offer fantastic script formats for local companies, among others. With this you can, for example <\/a>Store GEO coordinates<\/a> of a care service in the source code of a website.<\/p>\n\n

This gives Google & Co the exact location<\/strong>. The coordinates can then be compared directly with the IP of a search query. This in turn increases the chance that you will be displayed prominently in this Google Map feature. <\/p>\n\n

In addition, SEO for care services also allows you to break down the services and products in structured data. This is just as possible as storing contact details, image links, descriptions, profiles in industry portals and much more. <\/p>\n\n

I have published statistics on structured data<\/a> from local companies in Germany in my blog. You can get an overview of the topic there. <\/p>\n\n

In this SEO analysis of more than 100,000 websites, I summarized possible alternatives in categories. In this way, I was able to capture relevant structured data for local companies in a very comprehensive approach. Due to the growing importance of videos, I also took their use into account. Here you can see the values and alternatives used: <\/p>\n\n
