Mastering Local Search with the 3R Method: A Guide for MSPs

We created the “3R Method” to help MSPs dominate local search over the past seven years. The method has three steps: Review, Research, and Reuse.

Step 1: Review

Review means checking and improving your current website content for quick results. We look at all your web pages and study their data. We identify some of the pages to improve content either by refreshing the content or we write in the content.

Refreshing or rewriting strategic pages on the site often leads to quick wins and rapid traffic growth.

Step 2: Research

We conduct custom research for each city since keyword search volumes vary a lot by location. For example, the search volume for “Managed IT Services” in New York is very different from Kansas City. This research provides us with data to better prioritize keywords.
