Local SEO in Singapore? It's all about appearing at the top of the “near me” searches. Those queries pull in foot traffic, especially on mobile. After Google's June 2025 Core Update put a spotlight on solid citations, relevance has become even more valuable for turning searches into customers fast.
At The Leading Solution, our local SEO services in Singapore fine-tune GMB, Merchant Center, and citations to fit your business like a glove. Here’s how we help businesses develop a local SEO strategy in Singapore step-by-step, from GMB optimisation to AI-smart reviews:
Local SEO Creation or Update: GMB & Maps Mastery
Your Google My Business (GMB) listing is the heart of local SEO - profile optimisation for Maps puts you front and centre for Singapore local SEO searches. We handle creation or updates, including products/services, photos, and posts, to boost visibility. Experts say GMB profiles with photos drive 35% more clicks.
Standard Steps for Local SEO Creation & Update:
-
Claim & Verify: Secure your profile in Google Search Console.
-
Optimise Profile: Complete NAP (Name, Address, Phone), add categories, working hours, and attributes for optimal inclusivity.
-
Add Assets: Upload 10+ photos and videos, list products and services with prices .
-
Regular Posts: Weekly updates on offers/events for increased engagement.
More Traffic via Google Merchant Center
For e-commerce, Google Merchant Center unlocks free product listings in search - think "golf clubs Singapore" showing your feed alongside Maps. When optimised, it drives additional traffic through snippets and shopping tabs. A quick search on “golf clubs” or "golf gloves" shows you that Google can easily bring you additional traffic through featured snippets.
Integrating with Google Merchant Center allows for more exposure for your e-commerce products. We’ll work with you or your developer so you can integrate your products smoothly with Google Merchant Center, getting you the maximum exposure you can possibly get.

AI in Local SEO: Smarter Reviews & Citations
AI isn't replacing local SEO, but it’s surely making it sharper, trimming hours from manual review checks while spotting citation gaps for AI local SEO wins. With "near me" searches continuing to surge and voice queries on the rise, we lean on AI for sentiment analysis on GMB reviews and automated citation builders.
How We Use AI for Local SEO:
-
Review Management: Tools like BrightLocal scan feedback for trends (e.g., "fast service" positives), suggesting responses. We provide human oversight to ensure authenticity, which boosts ratings.
-
Citation Building: AI finds/fixes NAP inconsistencies across 50+ directories (e.g., Yellow Pages SG). Time savings using AI citation tools are significant, and consistent NAP fixes usually boost local rankings.
-
Voice Optimisation: Predicts conversational queries ("best plumber near me in Orchard") for GMB posts.
Risks? Over-reliance on auto-responses feels robotic. That’s why we always add a personal touch for E-E-A-T.
