Add Business Locations In WordPress - Local SEO

If you own a local business, ranking your business on Google and other search engines for local customer searches is essential for bringing in nearby clients.

The Local SEO For Divi & Gutenberg Blocks plugin makes local search engine optimization simple.

Adding specific details for your business locations automatically generates structured local SEO data (Schema markup), helping search engines accurately display your store details in local search results and map listings.

You can add your business locations in two easy ways:

Manually add location details via the WordPress dashboard menu.
Bulk import multiple locations by uploading a CSV spreadsheet.
