 Local SEO is nothing but getting ranked for your local (geographical) keywords. Lets take for example you have a website designing business. And you lived in a city called X in a state Y. Now competing for website designing keyword as such would be extremely competitive. However, if someone were to search using keywords website designing X or website designing Y and if your website is optimized for those keywords, then it would be relatively very easier to rank well for those keywords.
 
 One can easily optimize their site for local keywords by using them throughout their site - headlines, titles, internal links and also in external anchor links coming to your site. SEO isn't as complicated as you think.
