Welcome aboard! :)
In order to help you find out more about a "Local Seo?", we would need to know where you are located.
Hello Local seo is helpful and currently, Google launch some amazing features for local SEO and you can succeed by using and doing SEO in any manner will give you good results.
For example, let's say I'm a small restaurant in a country near a big city, wouldn't doing local SEO activities bring few results and would it be a waste of time?
Depends on your definition of "a waste of time". ;)

I think that you can compete against way bigger names in your industry using local SEO. See, the relevance of local results is what matters most for users and Google.
Thanks for the answers, in the meantime I searched a bit around the web and found several interesting articles.
I found this site [***deleted***] (in Italian because I live in Italy) that publishes local seo content every week, I think it's a web agency but I have never heard of it and I don't know how reliable they are, but the contents seem to be good.
By wasting time I meant precisely the fact that if I have a lot of competition which is bigger than me and more known risk of spending time in vain, maybe I should focus more on something else since one of the local positioning factors is the evidence that based on information from a business that Google gets from the web (links, articles and web directories).
In local SEO, the number of reviews and the Google score are considered: the greater the positive feedback, the better the positioning of your business.
A larger and older company has an advantage from this point of view and not a little.
it is still worth it? ;)

Local SEO?
very very easy. You need to search some local and famous directories that accept map listing
and try to put your listing there moz, google and ahref will help you. Do not by local citation etc they are fake
hope this will serve the purpose

Yes, Local SEO is an effective technique to enhance the visibility of your business in your area. It consists of building Google Business Page with number of good customer's reviews on it.
Ok so if I may give you some background. Because the number of websites that are indexed on google every day for niches is increasing so much that most will never see the top of Google, Google has really prioritized local SEO as a way to mitigate this. They first started it in GMB listings where proximity is a massive ranking factor. Now for the last 2 years or so your natural organic results also lean towards local results. I believe Google thinks this is a better user experience for people. It also allows many more websites to get shown. TLDs, for example, you used to see .coms everywhere however if you look up Serps now they usually have a good number of local TLDs in the top results. Google is also doing this to remove any organic monopoly of bigger companies why? so that they will use AdWords. So for us smaller guys it's a win-win IMO. If you want to know exactly how to use local SEO im not going to spam this forum with something that there are millions of articles on. One things that I will say that many of those articles do NOT mention is the impact of direct brand searches usually a user saw a banner or a flyer or car branding and did a direct search. This is a massive local ranking factor for Local because Direct brand searched is telling Google somehow people in your city know about you.
What all do we cover in local seo? Because i know the basics like submission n to search engines and submit the busines in google local business will help get some organic traffic is there much more to do in local seo?
local SEO is very important, hence it runs the website traffic and monitors the user traffic.

can i ask a question?
Local SEO is very important for getting leads from nearby ares. With the help of keywords.
Hello and welcome!
Great question ? local SEO can be very convenient and valuable, especially if your business relies on customers in a specific geographic area (like a city, region, or neighborhood). Here?s why it?s worth considering:
Visibility in Local Searches: Most people use Google to find services ?near me.? Local SEO helps you show up when potential customers nearby are searching.
Cost-Effective: Compared to broad SEO campaigns, local SEO is more targeted and usually less competitive, so you can see results faster with less investment.
Higher Conversion Rates: People searching locally are often ready to take action (visit, call, or buy), so the traffic you attract is highly qualified.
Builds Trust & Authority: Showing up in Google Maps, local listings, and reviews makes your business look credible.
In short, if your business depends on local clients or foot traffic, local SEO is definitely convenient and can deliver strong results.
