SEO for small businesses

What’s the best way for small businesses with limited budgets to compete in SEO against larger companies with huge resources?

That’s a fair concern, I think a lot of small businesses struggle with this.

Small businesses often assume they can’t compete with larger brands, but SEO isn’t only about budget, it’s about precision. One effective approach is to target long-tail keywords and highly localized searches where competition is weaker but intent is stronger. I came across https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/ur ... 0416596992 , which explains how focusing on relevance can outweigh sheer size. By optimizing local business listings, publishing consistent content, and using social proof like reviews, small businesses can stand out. Another underestimated tactic is building backlinks from community partners and local organizations. This strategy not only improves SEO but also builds trust in the immediate customer base, which can be more valuable than trying to outrank huge competitors globally.
