Understanding the Importance of Local SEO
Local SEO services are not just another marketing fad; they are a necessity for businesses that depend on local customers. When your potential customers search for products or services online, your business needs to appear at the top of the search results. Local SEO is the gateway to achieving this, as it ensures that your business ranks well in local searches.
Keyword Research and Optimization
Keywords are the foundation of any successful local SEO strategy. Start by identifying the most relevant keywords for your business. Tools like Google Keyword Planner can help you find the right keywords to target. Once you have your list, optimize your website content, meta tags, and headings to include these keywords naturally.
On-Page SEO
On-page SEO involves optimizing the various elements on your website, such as title tags, meta descriptions, and alt tags. Make sure your website is user-friendly and loads quickly. Also, focus on creating high-quality, informative, and engaging content that resonates with your local audience.
Google Business Profile (GBP) Optimization
Your Google My Business listing is your online business card. Optimize it by providing accurate information, choosing the right categories, and uploading high-quality images. Encourage customers to leave reviews on your GMB page, as this can significantly impact your local search rankings.
NAP Consistency
NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) consistency across the web is crucial for local SEO. Ensure that your business's contact information is consistent on your website, social media profiles, and local directories. Any discrepancies can harm your search rankings.
Online Reviews and Ratings
Online reviews play a vital role in local SEO. Encourage happy customers to leave positive reviews on platforms like Google, Yelp, and Facebook. Respond to both positive and negative reviews professionally, as this shows your commitment to customer satisfaction.
Mobile-Friendly Website
With the majority of searches happening on mobile devices, having a mobile-friendly website is non-negotiable. Google also prioritizes mobile-friendly websites in search results, making it essential for local SEO success.
Content Marketing
Create and share valuable, locally-focused content on your website and social media channels. Informative blog posts, videos, and infographics can position your business as an authority in your industry and attract more local customers.
Local Link Building
Building high-quality backlinks from local websites and directories can improve your local search rankings. Consider partnerships with local organizations, sponsorship opportunities, and collaborating with other local businesses.
Social Media Presence
Maintain an active and engaging social media presence. Share local events, promotions, and customer stories to foster a sense of community and attract local customers.
Local Schema Markup
Implement schema markup on your website to provide search engines with structured information about your business. This can help search engines better understand your content and display it in rich snippets.
Monitoring and Analytics
Regularly monitor your local SEO efforts using tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Track your rankings, organic traffic, and conversions to refine your strategy over time.
Conclusion
Local SEO is not an option; it's a necessity for brick-and-mortar stores looking to thrive in the digital age. By following this local SEO checklist, you can enhance your online presence, attract more local customers, and ultimately grow your business.

for like 3 weeks i was wondering why i was sleeping so much and felt listless. and just now I managed to email 3 people and responded to a month old message in the span of an hour because I got back to TAKING MY FUCKIN MEDS..........
#MOTHER FFFFUCKER#to be fair. my doc said I could stop taking them while im on break since i wouldnt need to be constantly pumped on stimulants#im not sure if it was a side effect but i managed to take like 3 different naps in one day and STILL managed to sleep thru the whole night#at least 2 days into my break. the weird thing is i didnt feel more or less rested afterwards. but mentally i think im in a good place rn#to really put the level of awakeness im at rn i feel weirdly confident i could start one piece. also bc of that sick new opening it BANGS#the song is really good and im in love with the animation style. did some digging and it seems one of the lead animators is masato mori#but i could be wrong. it seems he also did some work on mp100 which could explain a lot lol.. he uses smear frames really well to convey#consistent movement and fluidity!!! someone else might have done color design but it works really really well esp with odas style!!#just love the overall vibe and aesthetic and id really love to study it and incorporate a bit of it into my art.. especially the thick#outlines which i think helps to separate characters and objects on screen. though i have to say the style is definitely more suited to#animation bc of the simpleness and smears. maybe that will help me explore shapes and perspective when i draw... i wanna get better#at drawing poses and angles but i have a hard time wrapping my head around space and using perspective guide lines NGHHHH#i wonder if it has to do with my dogshit ability to judge distance. not depth perception but like. judge how far smth is in metres etc#im also wearing an N95 for the first couple weeks back bc of the wave. absolutely NO BODY is wearing a mask its so fucking over#where im sitting ive heard 5 different people coughing probably not into their elbows!!! and im just. head in my fucking hands#there was a kid sitting a couple seats away in class coughing as he pleases and i wanted to grab him in a chokehold so badly. PLEASEE#ive been annoying my family by asking them to mask up and reminding them to bring masks when they go out and showing them news articles#but at least its working bc we ordered some KN95s and my mom is at least taking me seriously so. please dont be afraid to speak up abt your#health. take care of yourself and others however u can!! wear that mask indoors at your maskless friends house!!! stay home when u can!!#im wearing a surgical mask at home too bc my parents have '''a dry throat cough''' and they are so bad at coughing into their sleeves#also im pretty sure dry throat isnt transmissible bc my brother started coughing too so.. i also tested negative but they havent tested yet#im also not a doctor but i have to keep reminding ppl whenever i can that covid and flu work differently. covid is new and too recent to#have nearly as much research done on it. it seems its also compounding so instead of building immunity it weakens the body and spreads to#to other systems which might explain brain fog and muscle weakness. i remember someone early in the pandemic got infected and it messed up#their smell/taste receptors so bad that they cant eat most foods and that stays in the front of my mind when i think abt covid. christ#yapping

I feel like over the month+, I have like 1-2 hours a day max where I feel relatively awake, and every other hour I'm fighting bone-deep exhaustion. I'll bring it up with my doc at my check up on monday, but tbh i know the solution so idk if she can help
And I can work-work when I feel half-dead, or rather I force myself to because I don't want my cats to starve, but when it comes to creative stuff, it's like my mind is slippery sludge dribbling out my eyes...
The Solution, of course: just stop working 3~10 AM every day (and then taking a short nap, working during the day, and then taking another short nap, hours vary but repeat), and maybe get at least 6, ideally 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep at least every other day, ideally every day.
But do I see that happening? No.
Like rn I know I desperately need to edit fic and reply to comments and do several arts but I'm nodding off at my desk after boss DMing me work at 5 AM and dealing with repair people since 8:30 AM...

what do you headcanon the gunnhildr sibs preferences to be? personally i see jean as a cis pansexual and poly (because of you fics thanks for that btw) and barbara to be trans mtf and bisexual
I don't really have a solid headcanon for Jean's preferences beyond that she's into women--I can range anywhere from 'exclusively lesbian' to 'Kinsey-scale-3 bisexual' depending on the story I'm telling myself about her at the time? Like, I have headcanons that I'll flex for fic purposes, but this is more that the only headcanon I have in the first place is that she likes women, and the rest is a nice muddy shape around it. (A muddiness I often like to roll in!) Similarly, I like to write her as poly, but it's not really a 'headcanon' per se, it's just how I like to write her. XD As for gender, though, while this post starts about Kaeya I basically cover it here: technically she's cis in that she's not seeking not to be a woman, but I don't think the axis upon which Jean identifies has anything to do with gender. She'd describe herself as a Gunnhildr and as a knight, as opposed to a civilian, but she wouldn't put 'woman' in a self-description because it's very minimally relevant to how she thinks about herself.
I don't really have strong headcanons about Barbara, because I haven't thought about her from those angles so much; my defaults for her are cis woman and wlw, but I haven't really focused in on either aspect when writing or thinking about her. I definitely can see where an MtF reading would be fun, though, especially in light of a headcanon I do have, wherein the Gunnhildrs are matrilineal. (I mean, the fact that the only four we know the names/identities of are all women could just be coincidence, there's only four we know at all, but 'that's because the men are all married out to other families' is more fun to me. XD) The tensions that would add to her existing family situation--trying to prove herself when she was still a Gunnhildr, being thrust out of the family when her parents divorced (and her father being allowed to take her)--in tragic but interesting ways!

When was the last time that you woke up and actually felt awake and rested for more than half of the day? I'm asking for... Ehm... Research?
Yeah, let's say research (╸w╺)
Oh hi! I've seen you ask this of other creators, I hope the research is going well!
And uh, idk ╮(゚~゚;)╭ I can’t remember the last time I had a full day of feeling awake and rested. I do have some Good Energy Mornings that last a few hours! Although I normally exist in a low-energy Tired

I know you’re not a dentist but do you have any tips on how to relieve pain from wisdom teeth? Ice and freezing gel doesn’t work
I’ve been told saltwater rinse helps, but only if it’s been more than 24 hours after the surgery. Otherwise I highly recommend using the pain medication they gave you. I’m afraid I don’t know too many home remedies beyond that if ice isn’t helping.

Baja: yeah! I saw you guys playing at the conch shell club 8 years ago.... Your first rendition of undertow amazing. I mean I like the final cut of it but your first draft was art!
Mizole:.......... You actually like that?
Baja: yeah!... they had a lot of personality in it. Why did you change it? It was so rugged and aggressive now it's all polished now which I love but the original one had such character

Mhai: bassbaba@86
_______________________________________________
Mahi: okay so what's the plot of this?
Warabi: okay, so it takes place during the great turf war. Two soldiers one inkling and one octoling who grew up together and are childhood best friends. And the story switches from backstory to backstory until it goes all the way to present day and then it all comes together during the end of the movie. It's really sad like it's so sad.
Baja: Oh I saw this... We had to watch it in school
Mizole: eh
Neta: Why are y'all in my apartment?!
Mahi: *eat* hey boss. you look like shit.......

Cirrina: ok....You didn't go to my room did you?
Mizole/mahi: no
Cirrina: good Don't want your grody hands all over my stuff.......... Unless it's you baja hi!!
Baja: *waves*

Me, yesterday, 5:30 PM: wow I’m honestly doing so great at my adult tasks; I’ve gotten some homework done, I went grocery shopping, my laundry is almost dry. I spent so many spoons and I barely feel tired! Maybe I’m finally fully recovering from burnout!
Me, yesterday, 6:00 PM: oh.
#turns out that I was not drawing from an unlimited spoon supply when I spent spoons so fast#and instead was overdrawing#because at 5:59 I thought ‘oh you know I’m a bit tired I should lay down’#and then spent almost six hours in Nap Hell as I laid down too tired to get up and take my sleep meds#but also not really sleeping consistently. like dozing except I didn’t want to.#woke up ~11:50 and apparently sent some very misspelled messages to my friends#took sleep meds. and then passed out until morning.#so… I’ve learned something here. such as ‘even if you feel fine. you know you’re spending too many spoons. slow down.’#I’m gonna try to go to bed early tonight too#and just. rest. bc I know Thursday is going to be a lot for me bc of my ASL class.#just gotta get these labs done first#the exhaustion is partially also my fault bc instead of going to bed after getting home from the airport#I did in fact go straight to DND and played until midnight because DND is Monday nights now.#but in my defense. I had napped on the plane. so I didn’t feel v tired.#but yeah I shouldn’t have done that bc that meant I was operating on a Significant Sleep Deficit yesterday and still had a lot of tasks#that absolutely could not wait. I needed food bc I didn’t have any in the house and needed laundry bc all my wearable clothes were dirty.#and I’d been in class since 9:30AM and went straight to the store from my last class and then straight to laundry after putting away grifos#and STILL FORGOT TO GET GAS#it’s fine I’ll get some today after chemistry or smth on the way home
