    How I rank number one in the local pack for 8 different search terms (real competition too).
    • Schema.org mark-up in the footer and header. Header code can be generated here; Footer code can be generated here.
    • Citations: Yelp, Apple Maps, GMB, Manta, BBB, Angies List, Home Advisor, Foursquare, Bing Places, Facebook, iBegin, and a hand full of others. Nail the NAP. Take care of your citations - write good descriptions and upload logos.
    • Search term comes before business name. Example listing name: Denim Jeans | Brent's Clothing
    • Build backlinks as usual.
    • Make sure your search terms are sprinkled throughout your content.
    • Google loves longer content - greater than 1000 words.
    • Fix up your GMB and Google+ Business page real nice and add pictures.

    Voila!
