How important are backlinks for Local seo, compared to business listings or directories
Need some light shed on something.
So in my city with a population of about 5,5 million. For example gardening. The top ranking site has no quality backlinks. Tons of exact match anchor text. All the links are from one single business directory. So they have like 200 different listings from this directoy using exact match anchor text,
I didn’t think business directories would have much of an impact outside of GMB.
Another example, if you search up Miami Dental implants, the top websites links are just a bunch of business listings. Tons of listings for dental implants for suburbs in Miami.
Am I missing something about onsite seo that I should be more aware of?
I’m still pretty new to seo so explanations are hugely appreciated.
