Deep dives

Adding near me to business names for better search results

Entrepreneurs have started adding 'near me' to the end of their business names in an attempt to rank higher in search results. This strategy aims to capitalize on the 'near me' search trend, making the businesses appear more prominently when users search for services within a specific area. While this tactic has gained popularity, Google's algorithms have evolved to discount the 'near me' keywords, rendering this approach less effective over time as it tends to only work within a mile radius.
