As a local business in the counseling field, we observed the ongoing struggles of small local business showing up on search engine results and being “seen” by the local communities they serve. And it wasn’t from a lack of effort or a lack of demand for the product or service they provide, but rather from the inability to spend thousands of dollars each month on SEO to rank highly against the larger corporations and business. For this reason, we established Your Verified Local with the sole purpose of “Putting Local Business on the Map” by providing a platform for them to better connect with the communities they serve.
