Why should a small business care about local SEO?

I’m running a small local business — does local SEO really make a difference in getting customers?

I didn’t care about local SEO at first, to be honest. But after a while I noticed most customers were finding competitors, not me. I decided to give it a try and focused on basic local stuff. Slowly, more people nearby started calling and visiting. Nothing fancy, just being visible where it matters. This article helped me understand the basics without overcomplicating things: https://getpin.com/news/benefits-of-local-seo-for-small-businesses/. After that, local traffic and real customers became more consistent.
