# What Is Local SEO

Suppose, If you have a local business, like a shop, or have people visiting your office frequently, optimizing your [**website**](https://imamuddinwp.github.io/imamuddin/) is also about making sure people are able to find you in real life. Even now, when you’re not actively getting visitors in your building, you’re still targeting an audience that is located in the same geographical area as you are. So you need to optimize for that area! This is what we call “[**local SEO**](https://imamuddin.business.site/).”

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://imamuddinwp.gitbook.io/local-seo/what-is-local-seo.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
